2019 EU reissue vinyl LP - Jolene (1974) is Dolly Parton's 13th solo studio album, produced by Bob Ferguson. Parton's female protagonists are downright pitiful, adrift in a world where a more attractive woman might take their man, where a woman cannot let go of a man who no longer loves her.

Jolene is Dolly Parton's 13th solo studio album, produced by Bob Ferguson. It was released in February 1974.

 

A sparkling production creates a rich backdrop for both "Jolene" and "When Someone Wants to Leave". This tasteful mix is a joy to listen to. The music and Parton's vocal prowess are in top form on "Jolene". The title track tells the tale of a housewife confronting a beautiful seductress who she believes is having an affair with her husband. It became the second solo number one Country single and a moderate Pop hit.

 

Parton's female protagonists are downright pitiful, adrift in a world where a more attractive woman might take their man, where a woman cannot let go of a man who no longer loves her.
