Dolly Parton - "Jolene"

[Fade]

This is super interesting:




Now, this shows you the power of tuning/pitch/tempo/etc and how much of a difference it makes. After listening to that slowed down version, here's the original where she sounds like a chipmunk:




The same thing happened years ago when I had a 12" of Madonna's "Lucky Star" but it played on 45. I played it on 33 and pitched it down -8 and it was like some drive-by gangster shit.

Anyway, discuss.

First off this is one of the best songs of all time and I hate country but Dolly Parton is one of the greatest artists of all time,

Have you heard the white stripes do this one?



But yea the slower it goes the more detail you can hear. It’s really interesting.

Why @thedreampolice do you hate country? Now I get hating the BS that is pop country, bro country and hick-hop (I hate all 3) but I'm willing to explore from a listener view

oh totally, I like the old school stuff for sure. Johnny Cash is one of the greatest artists of all time full stop. But I HATE bro country. Bo Burnham nailed it here.

Ha! That's really good. I love hearing totally different styles for the same song.
