That became popular in 2013, then was in an episode of āThe Blacklistā. The slowed-and-pitch-corrected is good too; there are a handful of versions with Miley Cyrus or both Miley and Dolly that are good.
Thereās also this:
A shame Johnny Cash never covered it.
The slowed down version does sound good! Iāve been groovinā on this version recently:
A slowed down Jolene thread is incomplete without:
While Iāve always loved this song musically (fast or slow), I donāt much care for the assumption that itās the womanās fault if her husband is charmed by Jolene or the assumption that he would be. Thatās why I very much like this āanswerā song by Estonian band Ewert and the Two Dragons:
Unless you have some sort of Arduino-based turntable, thatād be 33 1/3 RPM and 78 RPM.

My favorite linked-to-vid is probably the unreleased Parton recording of Springsteenās āIām on Fireā:
Sounds like a long lost Tim Buckley demo form the 60s.
If youāre playing a 45 rpm record at 33 1/3 rpm, thatās 74.074074074ā¦% or 74 74/99% speed.

You can always rig a tone generator to a big-ass audio amp, and feed the output into a transformer. By varying amplitude and frequency you can control the output voltage (and frequency), and feed any kind of low-power equipment at any frequency you like, e.g. control the speed of synchronous motors (like the gramophone ones). Or, if the output transformer can cope with the higher frequency, run 400 Hz equipment salvaged from aircraft.
When this last did the rounds I remember (a) loving it; and (b) wondering if it was slowed down any further whether Dolly would sound like Leonard Cohen.
I tried. She doesnāt.
I still think itās missing a little somethingā¦
Ms. Parton has been known to do the reverse of this āliveā with the song Do I Ever Cross Your Mind. In the example below, she starts in at about the 2:30 mark.
Just a reminder to everyone that John āPlunderphonicsā Oswald initiated this meme back in the 1980s on the Mystery Tape āX1ā from Mystery Labs. Hereās Oswaldās video version:
Iāll stick with using Audacity, not being into retro turntables.
