Dolly Parton Teases Beyoncé Version Of 1973 Classic ‘Jolene’


Dolly Parton's country classic "Jolene" is likely to make its way to the next Beyoncé album, Parton herself all but confirmed.

Rumors have been swirling that Beyoncé’s upcoming album Act II, set for release March 29, will be a country-themed collection, with two singles – “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages” – pointing in that direction. When “Texas Hold ‘Em” debuted at #1 last month on Billboard’s Hot Country chart, making Beyoncé the first Black woman to do so, Parton was among the first to offer congratulations. Rolling Stone magazine has ranked it among the 500 greatest songs of all time, and countless artists have recorded cover versions including Olivia Newton-John, The White Stripes, Miley Cyrus, Chiquis and Becky G, and Lil Nas X.
