Yes, I meant that since her the husband's recent passing, she was probably too weak to fight to cancer.

 

Cancer's a bitch... 😢

I know it's nothing new, but I'm 100% convinced that Jolene was recorded at 15 IPS and then Dolly did the vocals at 30. The instruments sound much more genuine at the slowed down playback.

I remember seeing Dolly on some TV show doing an Alvin and the Chipmunks style singing over a song being played back at double time. : )  So this is right in line with that.

I also find it incredible that her voice is able to lock at double time.  Amazing voice at any speed.

I've got lots of her music and have been doing a deep dive.  This is one my favorite covers of hers:

Of all her songs, 'Jolene' is the one that makes me want to stab pencils in my ears the most.
