This version has a plaintive sound, almost a cry. Like the singer is crying out for a reprieve from Jolene's machinations. This is an absolutely amasing cover of Dolly Parton's song.
Her nuanced piano and voice adds a very melancholic touch to this cover. I was always taken by the Tempo of Dolly Partons version but Norah's interpretation is enjoyable as well.
I know looking at the video of her singing a tribute to Johnny Cash which puts you in direct contact with those eyes. There is no way another woman is taking any man away from her, once any human man looked into those eyes. They are mesmerizing to say the least!! Once she has you in that gaze there is no other woman, she is the equivalent of what Louis Lane must have felt after being loved by Superman.
@@smrtkscm haha hello! I cant believe I left this comment 11 years ago. A lot has changed since, Ive been around the world and recently its Etienne Daho's les chanson de linnocence.
This is how this song was meant to be done. Props to Dolly but Norah made it feel right. The anguish the pain and soulfulness come across as it should. Any one in the situation the song is about feels this version on a whole different level 🩶
Rocky Thomas Oh I do believe it. I've heard hers. It's my second favorite. I also like Paula Cole's version. But this version beats them all hands down, imo!
I think Miley Cyrus' backyard session cover is quite good. She can really sing, has a damn good voice, and when the song is good, I feel like there's a lot of potential there. But I find it hard to believe her as a singer, really occupying a song like this. She his her marks. It's a little like a trick she's learned. I don't quite buy it. I think the priority for her, or the people managing and marketing her, is to be a celebrity. Music is just one means to an end. So, who knows if she'll ever do something interesting. Norah's piano work on this Little Willie's version is awesome. Moodiness. Sparse, but really cool. That Jim Campilongo DOES NOT take a solo says a lot, I think. Her piano carries some emotional weight The timing of her vocal is great too. It's conversational. It's a great, great song, and everything going here more than does it justice.
Norah Jones fait parti ce ces pépites qui éclairent ma vie, au même de titre que, par exemple, The Judds, Elvis Presley, Bruce Springsteen, Michelle Shocked, Rick Nelson,...
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I'm begging of you please don't take my man Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don't take him just because you can Your beauty is beyond compare With flaming locks of auburn hair With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green Your smile is like a breath of spring Your voice is soft like summer rain And I cannot compete with you, Jolene He talks about you in his sleep There's nothing I can do to keep From crying when he calls your name, Jolene And I can easily understand How you could easily take my man But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I'm begging of you please don't take my man Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don't take him just because you can You could have your choice of men But I could never love again He's the only one for me, Jolene I had to have this talk with you My happiness depends on you And whatever you decide to do, Jolene Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I'm begging of you please don't take my man Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don't take him even though you can Jolene, Jolene
She looks a lot like Helena Bonham Carter's character from Big Fish. Come to think of it, Jenny actually played piano in that movie, and she lost the man she loved to a woman with auburn hair
This song never fails to give me goosebumps.

I was there live, about 10 feet from her. Goosebumps
Such an intimate setting, I could just imagine!
Best rendition I'v ever heard. Blown away.
I know right
An excellent cover!!!! This lady owns it!!!
Her nuanced piano and voice adds a very melancholic touch to this cover.

Dolly would be PROUD!
HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL..........

really amazing that norah jones made dolly partons song one of her own! its like this version is her own
Fantastic cover of a fantastic song.
i got chills at the first word!
I'm 15 and I'm in love with this , why aren't there anymore awesome songs like these? :(
What are you favourite songs now? 😊
@@smrtkscm haha hello! I cant believe I left this comment 11 years ago. A lot has changed since, Ive been around the world and recently its Etienne Daho's les chanson de linnocence.
@@gudduugr8 It is OK, people change. But I think you still have a good musical taste!
Hauntingly beautiful with a accompanied voice. Thanx for your version.
I really like the slower tempo and her voice is perfect for this song.
Haunting,sad,and beautiful.
Pure magic.
what an amazing song! Amazingly sung too !
beautiful vocals! i like it a lot
S he feels it down deep...and owns it now
beautiful voice

Just her voice and the double bass would be a marvel... rest is just a bonus!!
that sounded really nice.
candy for the ears and soul
Who would've thought a jazz singer would be one of the only women keeping country alive in 2016
Yeah, because before Norah Jones did some country the genre was dead. You're a dumbass. *Shake my head*
Turned on a radio in the last ten years?
You won't hear Norah Jones on a country station. Try again.
Mr. C.C. The radio seems to me to be what's killing country. Fuck all that noise
nicely done thanks, Jim
Beautiful remake.Better than Dolly's. Sounds more heartbroken. Awesomely done.
gentle yet intense, very well done
Sublime
Fantastic song - beautiful remake...
Wow! Nice arrangement and performance! Sad song beautifully done!
awesome! such harmony, heaven performance!
Thanks for the tele-love little willies.
You really didn't have to,
my freind is named little willy and i think she should join this band because this band is just SO GOOD!! omg #earorgasm
Jolene Jolene ! wow to the eastside
I like this performance!!!
Sweetly done....Jack White does this one honor as well....definitely worth a listen.
Was there. Great great show. PLEASE RELEASE THE WHOLE SHOW ON DVD. Was professionally shot- its somewhere.

Meravigliosi!
this is how we can stop time!
very good!!!
magnificent
Wow this is true música bravo !!!!!!!!
soooooooooooooooooooo good!
i Love this!!!
I always think of "Miriam" from "Little Broken Hearts" as the Norah version of what happened to Jolene in the end.
I just found you guys and I love it!
THIS IS IT!! The Version I've been searching for! Oh, thank you!! It figures it would be Norah singing it!!
Natalie Williams i Think The Haviia family Band Does the best Job at Singing her Song Jolene😉😉
Rocky Thomas Oh I do believe it. I've heard hers. It's my second favorite. I also like Paula Cole's version. But this version beats them all hands down, imo!
I'll have to look for it! Thanks!
Natalie Williams Hi i put the Video to Share Look for it k
Will do!
Incredible voice
素敵な曲
God, this band is now one of my favourites. Kinda makes me sad that it is just a fun side project for them.
beautiful ♥
This should get more view than that shitty cover which miley cyrus sang ..
remo savi definitely. Miley wasn't bad though. That said, Nora sings this with feeling. Miley just read the lyrics.
I think Miley Cyrus' backyard session cover is quite good.

remo savi:
Frankly, I prefer Dolly Parton's version of "Jolene".
just perfect
love it, prefer it to the original

gotta love Norah Jones!
WOW!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
😭😭😭just to say goodbye to 2023
Come to the sun...come to México soon! =D
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene
after seeing her.. jolene will have to write a song called "norah"
lol that's my name :p
The version has a sadness the original didn't... it matches what the song is about more, I think. Just an awesome cover.
wow~
That's sad when someone is stilling your man :(
@PaleBorke thx i'll try this !
Me First and the Gimmie Gimmie's do the best cover of the song, but, The Little Willies also kick this songs ass!!!
Świetna jest.
wow
is good
Where are they performing?
Agreement...
She looks a lot like Helena Bonham Carter's character from Big Fish. Come to think of it, Jenny actually played piano in that movie, and she lost the man she loved to a woman with auburn hair
With Katie Melua, Norah Jone is the bigest singer
It's jazz because they're wearing jazz hats.
Norah Jones Is Awesome. . :D
I begging of you please don't take my man...
I wanted them to get loud
jack white does a great version of this song,must see check it out ,its from the video "under blackpool lights"....
Little Willie!?I call that my...well you know...
Olivia Newton John sings this best.
something original for a change would be a treat....NORAH
Sherlock Doyle white stripes are still better than this shit.
yep...yawn
yawn what don't you like to jam out or do you not know good music when you hear it.
white stripes...now thats good!
I think they do a better version of Jolene than dollie parton did what about you.
Heart-breaking......I prefer it to Dolly Parton.
@sindymoua LOL it could be if Jen And Brad broke up before 1973
a step in the wrong direction?
20 people love Beiber.....
I think Jennifer Aniston help write this song, since it's about how Angelina Jolie stole Brad from her.
:(
