    I loved this song 50 years ago in my youth. As an old man ... I love it again! Thank you Morgan James.

    This is the best and most haunting version of this song I've ever heard, thank you Morgan for this.

    This not a cover nor is it a rendering. This is you taking this song and owning it. Bravo!

    I've never really paid attention to the lyrics before. This version reflects the anguish in them. Great!

    As much as I love Dolly, this version makes me feel soo much, like I can literally feel her pain and sorrow. I have never in my life been in her situation but I cried a lot. Morgan is such an angel and she feels the song and transfer it soo well I just love her

    Listening to this I can hear a woman in pain at losing her man, pleading for his return. Amazing.

    I've heard a few songs by Morgan, what a true artist.....she expressed the pain, fear and desperation of this woman in this song....begging Jolene not to take her man....the note at 2:14 seems to sound like a scream of pain... I have never heard this song in such an emotional way. Morgan you did beyond a amazing version of this song. Just so captivating.

  • @hangassan
    @hangassan 7 лет назад +45

    I have heard this as a mainstream country ballad, a slow ballad (almost a dirge) , even a semi-electro pop version, but this brings the emotion and angst of the tune to its peak...truly breathtaking...

    The growl she used when performing "All About That Bass" with Vintage Jukebox. I would love to hear her sing this with that growl and touch of rasp. I'll bet she could kill it!

    Yep - 6 years after last comment - wow!
    Aside from her extreme deliberate control, the base and guitar forming one side of the music, and the piano adding in haunting notes that punctuated the vocals perfectly. Wasn't a big fan of the song - but this version - !

    I really never properly listened to the lyrics of this song until I listened to this, they're quite pathetic in a desperate way, lovely cover.

    • @grantcivyt
      @grantcivyt 8 лет назад +22

      +Paul Keating It *is* country music, but I think it appears pathetic only superficially. I picture a woman fighting for her family and recognizing that her husband is too foolish to resist.
      Swallowing your pride is the hardest thing in the world.

    • @snidelywhiplash
      @snidelywhiplash 7 лет назад +4

      I think Paul means it's pathetic because the narrator is pathetic in the strict definition of the word - i.e. she evokes sympathy and pity in her audience. Being confronted with one's partner's obsession with another is a very heavy thing to deal with.
