Dolly Parton Calls Beyoncé 'Bold' For Changing 'Jolene' Lyrics In Cover Song
HuffPost
The country music icon shared how Beyoncé's version of the classic tune is different from her own.
Dolly Parton recently shared her thoughts on Beyoncé’s cover of her classic song “Jolene” and why she thinks the Queen Bey is bold.
In a Friday video clip promoting an upcoming E! News interview, the country music icon revealed that she did not know beforehand that Beyoncé’s rendition of her hit 1973 tune would have different lyrics than the original.
The “Texas Hold ’Em” singer released her country music album, “Cowboy Carter,” in March. The record features her spin on “Jolene,” with Parton appearing in an interlude for the song.
“I think it was very bold of her,” the country icon said about the cover. “When they said she was going to do ‘Jolene,’ I expected it to be my regular one but it wasn’t.”
Parton continued: “But I love what she did to it. And as a songwriter, you love the fact that people do your songs no matter how they do them.”
