Because I can't get this out of my head



Listen carefully to the lyrics. Just in the event you didn't know, Dolly Parton wrote this song and I think it's absolutely brilliant, humbling and personal. I bought Mindy Smith's album just before we left for a nine-day trip to an island in Canada several years ago. I listened to "Jolene" over and over and over again.

Oh my goodness. You have no idea what you've just done. Now I'm going to make a shameless request that you make me a CD. I'll even do a swap with you.

I saw this video years ago & couldn't get it out of my head. I've never found the CD and with my snail-esque dial-up couldn't get it to download.

I adore this song!!

I had heard Dolly's version years ago, but hadn't heard Mindy Smith's. Dolly is a gifted storyteller. The video is painful to watch.
