Bad Wolves have released a new version of their cover of the Dolly Parton classic “Jolene,” this time with the late country legend’s vocals included. Originally, Parton was set to record vocals for Bad Wolves’ cover, but sadly she passed away before the opportunity arose. Instead, Bad Wolves released a version without Parton’s vocals shortly after the country icon’s death in late August.
Now, Bad Wolves have unveiled a new version with Dolly Parton’s vocals, with the country icon’s team supplying previously recorded stems mixed specifically for this release by Kent Wells.
New Version and Music Video
The song features Bad Wolves singer Sara “Killboy” Skinner trading vocals with Dolly Parton’s tracks, at certain points coming together for the chorus. It features a metallic guitar riff throughout, along with a heavy breakdown just before the two-minute mark.
Accompanying the new version of the cover song is a music video that captures the band jamming with students from Nashville’s School of Rock earlier this month.
Charity and Proceeds
Proceeds from the track will benefit Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, with Bad Wolves drummer John Boecklin stating, “Being able to raise money for Dolly’s charity is an honor, and being able to work with the kids from the Nashville School of Rock was an amazing experience.”

The release of this new version of “Jolene” is a unique opportunity for fans to experience the song in a new way, while also supporting a great cause. With the combination of Bad Wolves’ heavy sound and Dolly Parton’s iconic vocals, this cover is sure to be a hit among fans of both artists. The music video, which features the band performing with students from Nashville’s School of Rock, adds an extra layer of excitement to the release. Overall, this new version of “Jolene” is a must-listen for fans of Bad Wolves and Dolly Parton alike.
