UglyDog Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 For my money, this is loads better than the 'proper' version. Suddenly it's a bittersweet ballad rather than slightly clichéd C&W. And the harmonies in the chorus sound glorious at this speed too. See what you think. http://youtu.be/doz1QJ7LwjA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelfin Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Funnily enough if you play "I'm on Fire" (Springsteen) it sounds like Dolly. Edited April 24, 2014 by gelfin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play his 33.33 album at 45 rpm and you have Dolly singing Delilah! I don't care for all those other Jolenes much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
