Saturday, August 31, 2013Hello Everyone...
If you were to ask me if I like country music, I'd tell you no immediately. Probably even wrinkle up my nose at the idea...but then I'd have to carefully reconsider and start naming my favorite country songs that I've learned about from Jack White's covers.
One of the best was Dolly Parton's Jolene, which lead me to to hear the original version and listen in awe. It's a wonderfully written song with a cool sound. Someone had the great idea to slow down the original, which leads to some very interesting effects. It's a much more soulful sound and the vocal pitch changes to be a little deeper. Listen to it and enjoy!
