Bad Wolves Feat. Dolly Parton “Jolene”

And the tributes keep rolling in…

This one is by rock band Bad Wolves, who are known for their covers (like their badass version of The Cranberries “Zombie”)  and they just released their version of the late, great Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” with approved vocals from Dolly on the track.

They had been working on the song prior to Dolly’s passing, with hopes to have her on the track.

Sadly, that didn’t happen. For obvious reasons.

But after her passing, her estate approved previously recorded vocals, and it was mixed down to a pretty cool version of the Country classic.


Now, all proceeds to this version of “Jolene” go to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. And all the teens featured in the music video are from the Nashville School of Rock, as Dolly would have wanted.

Get the song, and more info here: https://badwolvesnation.com/

Carrie Underwood Performs “I Will Always Love You” at the CMA Dolly Parton Tribute

Did you watch the CMA Dolly Parton Tribute last night?

It was SO dang good.

So many stories, tributes and stellar performances by some of the biggest names in Country Music.

The icing on the cake?

Carrie Underwood performing Dolly’s iconic “I Will Always Love You” at the end, and all the other performers join her at the very last part.

Chilllllssssss…


Carrie’s voice is something, isn’t it?

Not fair that she gets that AND those legs…

If you haven’t seen the tribute yet, it’s definitely worth a watch this weekend- it’s streaming on Hulu.

I’m sure Dolly is smiling in Heaven at this.

Miley Cyrus Dolly Parton Tribute

This past weekend, Miley Cyrus performed for the first time since 2022, taking the stage for two nights at The Hollywood Bowl, and she did a sweet tribute to her Godmother, the late, great Dolly Parton, who sadly passed away this past August.

First she told a pretty cool story involving her experience with Dolly at the Hollywood Bowl:

She then followed up her story by performing “Jolene”:

Soooo good.

Miley is one of those artists who has definitely grown on me these past few years, and has really proven herself as an incredible talent.

Also, rumors are swirling that she could be the next Super Bowl Half-Time Show performer…

I’d totally be down with that.

Dolly Parton Final Commercial

Well, this is… bittersweet.

First off, it’s National Coffee Day, and in conjunction with the holiday, Dolly Parton’s team released her “Cup of Ambition” coffee line nationwide, as well as it’s commercial.

It just so happened to be Dolly’s final commercial ever, as it was filmed a month prior to her passing.

Ugh, that hurts.

Watching that commercial- knowing now that she was battling cancer at the time- hits hard.

But you have to hand it to Dolly for continuing to work until the very end.

We will always love you, Dolly!

Kacey Musgraves Honors Dolly Parton at the MTV VMAS

This was STUNNING.

Last night, the MTV Video Music Awards went down, which honestly, I’m not really a fan because, let’s be real.

What’s the point?

It’s not like MTV actually shows videos anymore.

But I digress…

Kacey Musgraves took to the stage to honor the late Dolly Parton with a gorgeous tribute:

Flawless.

I like this version of Kacey way better than the one that rides on disco ball testicles.

Guess I’m old fashioned after all.

Seriously though, a gorgeous performance, and a fitting tribute to the QUEEN.

Ella Langley’s Dolly Parton Tribute

The tributes keep pouring in…

As you’re probably aware, the world lost it’s beacon of light Dolly Parton this past Tuesday.

It still doesn’t feel real.

I usually don’t get hard by celebrity passings, but Dolly’s for some reason shook me.

Maybe because she seemed like family, even though we have never met. I think a lot of people felt that way about her.

And the tributes continue to happen worldwide, and the latest that caught my attention is Ella Langley’s version of “Jolene” that the broke out this past Friday night in Auburn, AL.

Soooo good:

@emily.these.days Last night in Auburn, @Ella Langley said, “Tonight’s show didn’t feel right without doing something like this” and proceeded to sing “Jolene” in honor of @Dolly Parton. One of my favorite moments from the night 🦋 #ellalangley #dollyparton #concert #auburn #fyp ♬ original sound – Emily 🦋

Such a cool version. Dolly would approve, I’m sure.

In case you weren’t aware, Ella is one of the biggest stars right now.

Not just in Country music, but worldwide, thanks to her massive hit “Choosing Texas”, which could hit a record 20 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. (I so hope it does!!!)

And for those living under a rock, here’s “Choosing Texas”:

Anyhow, I’m hating the reason for the Dolly tributes, but I’m sure enjoying seeing some of the best honor THE BEST.

I’m sure Dolly is feeling all the love wherever she is…

Chris Stapleton Dolly Parton Tribute

I’m still not properly processing the passing of Dolly Parton, who left this world this past Tuesday.

Still doesn’t seem real.

The tributes have been pouring in, and the most impressive one in my book?

Chris Stapleton covering “I Will Always Love You” live in concert this past week in Jones Beach.

Behold:

Damn, sonnnnn…

 

Ok, can we just release that as a single and all proceeds go to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library?

Just call me the Good Idea Fairy.

Dolly Parton “Light of a Blue Clear Morning”

What a combination!

Dolly Parton has re-recorded her song “Light of a Blue Clear Morning” with Reba, Lainey Wilson, Miley Cyrus and Queen Latifah.

Dolly did this project to celebrate her 80th birthday, which is Monday, the 19th. And the best part? All proceeds go towards pediatric cancer research.

I honestly can’t think of a better cause.

Loveee!

How about Miley Cyrus, though? That woman continues to impress me more and more every time I hear her.

Again, all proceeds go to the pediatric cancer research at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville.
Add it to your playlist, and do some good!

 

Dolly for president, ya’ll!

Cletus T. Judd “Riley Green”

I love me a good parody, and Cletus T. Judd knocked it out of the park with this one.

If you weren’t aware, Cletus is the resident Country parody singer, and has been around for decades.

His latest offering?

A song that parodies Doly Parton’s classic “Jolene”… it’s called “Riley Green”, and it’s all about the Country Music heartthrob:

I don’t know why, but I always love these.

Also, Riley Green is totally unfair to all the men out there.

I get it.

Dolly Parton Singing Slipknot’s “Duality”

This is when AI is used for a good cause.

 

One of my favorite creators, “There, I Ruined It”, created what Dolly Parton singing Slipknot’s “Duality” would sound like…

It’s kind of slaps, though:


Everything sounds better with Dolly, am I right?

What I love is that the song is raising money for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, which is an amazing organization.

Again, we need more Dolly in life.
