Dolly Parton's "Jolene" slowed down to 33 rpm


Amazingly, it sounds better!

  1. For some reason I thought that when played it would say something like "C. S. Swanson is the devil" or another thing equally creative. Imagine my disappointment when the song sounded more or less the same - but a bit better (I agree).

    1. If you want to hear "C W Swanson is the devil" you have to speed it up. Imagine the Chipmunks chanting that, and you'll have it.

  3. The first thing that stands out, to a singer, is that the reason it sounds fairly "normal" is Dolly Parton's immaculate vocal technique - perfectly unforced and in-tune even at 2/3 speed. That's something you don't run across every day.

    1. Whatever you think about Dolly Parton, she is a real talent and a total professional. I saw a picture of her once taken when she was just starting her career, and wow, what a hottie she was!
