Jolene

Comments

I quite like the version by the White Stripes. It's definitely better than the one by the Sisters of Mercy!
I had to listen to make sure that CAKE hadn't covered this tune, but their "Jolene" is an entirely different song with the same name. Still, with those boys at CAKE you can never be too sure.
Their "I Will Survive" sure is great.
i haven't heard the sisters of mercy version! as for i will survive, i think i posted that song on here. yeah cake's version is very different.
I don't think they ever recorded it (not really a Sisters expert myself), but they must've played it at their live shows quite a few times, cause I've heard at least two live versions.
wow apparently strawberry switchblade released some recordings of "Jolene" on their album. (you can download a BBC live version off their website)
[this is good]
i knew 'jolene' had been covered many times, but i'd only ever heard the country versions by sheerie austin and mindy smith prior to your post. i adore olivia newton john, ever since i was a child. i can't believe i didn't know about her covering this song. did it only appear on a japanese import? my favourite though has got to be the strawberry switchblade one. such cheesy synth pop goodness!
