After having a massive hit with ‘Old Town Road’ (you’re humming it now, aren’t you?) Lil Nas X has a new (hit) record Montero and covers an unlikely tune— Dolly Parton’s ‘Jolene’ which was #1 50 years ago.
And Dolly Parton is thrilled.
‘I had to find it and listen to it immediately…and it’s really good. Of course, I love him anyway. I was surprised and I’m honored and flattered.’
‘I hope he does good for both of us. Thank you @LilNasX,’ she added.
Lil Nas’ stripped-down version has its own charm.
