Dolly said in an interview: "You can do it soft you can do it slow or you can really drive it home" which was a reference to the white stripes version. Sadly I can't find that interview at the moment. I've seen it a couple of times years ago.
The fact they didn't modify the lyrics at all and still portray genuine emotion, really showcases their talent. Alot of people discount Meg's importance in the band, I don't. Meg set the stage for Jacks creativity to shine.
Jack White genuinely has one of the best voices in modern rock music imo. This version of the song certainly has a lot more atmosphere, maybe even more emotion around it compared to the original. Good to see the kid enjoying it as well!
Jack and Meg took an amazing song and used their tone and emotion to make the song more powerful. The song is about pleading to someone to not steal the love of their life when they easily could with their beauty and charm. You recognize that you could never compete and you're begging them not to try. It's so visceral and sad to have to get on your knees and beg. Props to dolly for writing it and props to the stripes for making it more real.
Watching you interact with your daughter, being able to share and react to music together has made me that much more excited to do the same with my future children. Glad to see you two have such a great bond!
White Stripes live is a different animal. When they do it live it's a perfect mix of the blues and almost a grunge raw style. It's not the same sound on the record.
This is one of my ultimate favorite songs! I just discovered this channel, and I love how you talk to your daughter just like a fellow music fan, and not like a little kid. It’s really an interesting TH-cam channel and I would love to do this with my 2 year old daughter who LOVES music. I subscribed and I’m hooked!
Speaking of Jack White, there's a clip from the movie "It Might Get Loud" where the three of them (White, The Edge from U2, and Jimmy Page) are talking about the song "Kashmir". Page starts playing, and the camera shows the other two with a "We're not worthy!" expression on their face, watching this Rock God playing one of his classics for them. All three end up playing along, having one hell of a jam session! If you're looking for something outside the box, how about something like this?
My cousin was named after this song. She was going to be called Joanne until her parents heard the original Dolly Parton version of this. I think her birth coincided with the release of it. I've never really listened to the white stripes before but their version is good.......and Annie was definitely mouthing the words!
You definitely need to listen to the 1983 version of Jolene performed by The Sisters of Mercy during their live session for the John Peel radio show. Extremely powerful.
Woah,i never saw that coming......Annie getting chills from The White Stripes. I take it she really loves the original then. Dont know how well she knows a song like Ice Machine by Depeche Mode,but i see that as a nice option for the both of you,a cover made by Norwegian duo Röyksopp.
Can you both review, Don't look back in Anger from Oasis........the song was used for Manchester after the Ariana Grande Manchester terror attack and it became the anthem for one love
Glad I found your channel cuz I have been a love of music spreader my whole life ad I love to see someone opening the younger generation up to amazing music. I love how uique this performace is but Dolly's is so emotional. I would love to see her reaction to either Rush's Tom Sawyer but eve more I'd like to see Sultan's of Swing from Dire Straits and Rasputina-Bad Moon Rising. And yeah I noticed right away that Jack kept the gender the same which had he not it woulda killed the song, and hearing a guy sing it in the voice he has actually makes it sound like he could ben singing of an actual experience
I love this song. And the White Stripes, never heard this version before. It was good. Reminds me a bit of the Mindy Smith version (which is my favorite cover of the song) but just really RAW. Love that he didn’t change the pronouns too. Very cool. And hey Annie got chills so that’s a win!
Do you mean that Jack White has done a hardcore version, or is there another band you reccomend? Would you have a link, just because I'm being lazy today? Thanks
Thank you! I had never heard the cover of Jolene by White Stripes before! It definitely doesn't beat Dolly's original, but it's really interesting! I'm glad Annie liked it too!
More live White Stripes would be cool. The way they would just jump from song to song and back is really fun and interesting. Death Letter from this concert is a great example iirc.
It was fairly good, White Stripe, but when are You going to play Tina S.? I'm sure that You've seen Her incredible abilities! She is on many, many platforms!! She plays many genres!!! You will NOT be disappointed...
Leo, Sultans of swing... Or anything by Leo... I'm so happy you introduced me to him and his studio... I'm also mad at you for forcing me to watch each of your videos 2 or 3 times... 1 watch the video... 2 watch you watching the video...and 3 watching whichever child watching the video... Not real mad, mind you... Lol.
Agreed, the Miley Cyrus version is excellent. One of the few times she stops with the tongue sticking out nonsense and the weird antics and is just her normal self. Once one looks past all of that, she is actually a very good singer. Also helps that Dolly is her Godmother :-) th-cam.com/video/wOwblaKmyVw/w-d-xo.html
@@glasswalker77 Agreed, but you also have to take into account that a big part of his channel is educating his daughter on songs of the past. And given the fact that she reacts well to updated covers of older songs (like Zombie by Bad Wolves), I just feel Sound of Silence is a solid choice for her. I agree with it being done to death, b I just would love to see their reactions to it. Seether, you rarely see that song reacted to, so I would definitely love to see them do that one as well.
Amazing cover , and no , they never did this in the studio. Want a brilliant cover do the man who sold the world or where did you sleep last night by nirvana
I like this version because he sings it like its too late
Jack White sounds like he's on the verge of a breakdown singing this.
Jack White is in another world
This song was flipping AWESOME
I love the original, but this was beautiful. I almost cried when I heard it the first time. Jack sounds like his soul is being wrenched from his body.
Fun fact: That version is one of Dolly's favourites.
Mine too
How could it not be:)
That's never been documented
@@thomasmills339 yes it has look it up

Alot of people discount Meg's importance in the band, I don't.
Meg set the stage for Jacks creativity to shine.
True. Her simplicity of play allowed him to explore his talent.
Jack White genuinely has one of the best voices in modern rock music imo. This version of the song certainly has a lot more atmosphere, maybe even more emotion around it compared to the original. Good to see the kid enjoying it as well!
I was a lucky guy when I could enjoy their beautiful live concert in Lisbon 2007.... amazing band

Despite me being young in age, i too dream of that moment
She DID bob her head on this one ever so slightly😁. Had to scroll back just to make sure😎
Never been a big White Stripes fan, some songs are ok but Wow the emotion of this version just blew me away.
White Stripes live is a different animal. When they do it live it's a perfect mix of the blues and almost a grunge raw style. It's not the same sound on the record.
This is the perfect version of this song to play!! It gives me chills everytime.
OUTSTANDING!! First time I have ever seen Annie mouth the words to a song!
my favorite band! my very first concert at age 14 was The White Stripes in 2005. Great stuff, I’m so glad you chose this version of the song
This is one of my ultimate favorite songs! I just discovered this channel, and I love how you talk to your daughter just like a fellow music fan, and not like a little kid. It’s really an interesting TH-cam channel and I would love to do this with my 2 year old daughter who LOVES music. I subscribed and I’m hooked!
Always loved this rendition. Pure gold.
Oh thank you so much for this song!!!!!!! I have request it everywhere and finally you two bring it!!!

2:25 That smile is GOLD! That needs to happen more often.
Ew creepy
@@coryr9938 Why?
Great video. You both are fantastic!
Jack White IS one of the greatest living guitarists today. He's SO GOOD. More JW, please.
My cousin was named after this song. She was going to be called Joanne until her parents heard the original Dolly Parton version of this. I think her birth coincided with the release of it. I've never really listened to the white stripes before but their version is good.......and Annie was definitely mouthing the words!
You can tell when Annie likes a song!
You are the only person who actually knows the real origin of this song and i love it
I cry during dollys version and of course WS version. But those are the only two that really did it justice ever imo
Ive never seen annie so into a song before good work dad👍🏻
I just thought seeing your daughter's name "Annie, you're okay" Alien Ant Farm's Smooth Criminal. That would be a good song to do?
Yes,this!
Darrel Hofland I was thinking the exact same thing. Needs to happen!
Or the original by Michael Jackson.
Bang Bang of Nancy Sinatra, covered by The Racounteurs, also singed by Jack White
You definitely need to listen to the 1983 version of Jolene performed by The Sisters of Mercy during their live session for the John Peel radio show. Extremely powerful.
New subscriber, love this. I never had a dad, (no pity party) but if I did I'd hope he was like you! Keep up the fun content 😁
Woah,i never saw that coming......Annie getting chills from The White Stripes. I take it she really loves the original then. Dont know how well she knows a song like Ice Machine by Depeche Mode,but i see that as a nice option for the both of you,a cover made by Norwegian duo Röyksopp.
Annie discovers the AWESOMENESS that is Jack White! Share more Jack White with her!!
maaaan that's exactly the video i've looked for!
It’s on my list of greatest covers
Can you both review, Don't look back in Anger from Oasis........the song was used for Manchester after the Ariana Grande Manchester terror attack and it became the anthem for one love
Never heard this before great cover of a beautiful song. Whilst your looking at covers Moby's cover of Joy Division's, New Dawn Fades is awesome.
Glad I found your channel cuz I have been a love of music spreader my whole life ad I love to see someone opening the younger generation up to amazing music. I love how uique this performace is but Dolly's is so emotional.

Thanks so much, great comment. Nice suggestions too. I think i might have done Tom Sawyer with Annie, not 100% but maybe, so many videos!
If she likes Jolene, you should do Barton Hollow by the Civil Wars
Never heard this version. Chills is right!!!
I love this song. And the White Stripes, never heard this version before. It was good. Reminds me a bit of the Mindy Smith version (which is my favorite cover of the song) but just really RAW. Love that he didn’t change the pronouns too. Very cool. And hey Annie got chills so that’s a win!
Jack White loves country music. Indeed, he did a project with Loretta Lynne
You should check out the bardcore version of Jolene :) it is a lot of fun.
Do you mean that Jack White has done a hardcore version, or is there another band you reccomend? Would you have a link, just because I'm being lazy today? Thanks
You should do a comparison vid of Valarie or tainted love, both really great songs with some equally great covers.
She liked it!!!! Yay! I remember when she didn't like anything. 😂 More White Stripes please!
Frank Turner - The Road!!!!
yes mor TWS...
and this one(Awesome Dance Mix) both by KM Music
The Petersens version of Jolene is my favorite and has millions of views.
Jesus my uncle knew a thing or two about music lol 😂 legend
The German band The BossHoss also did a cover on Jolene which is quite nice.
There's a song called Diane by an artist called Cam it's basically the opposite of Jolene from the other girl's perspective. It's really good.
Thank you! I had never heard the cover of Jolene by White Stripes before! It definitely doesn't beat Dolly's original, but it's really interesting! I'm glad Annie liked it too!
I think its way better than the original, especially in the portrait of the emotions
There is a German country band that covered this and it was kind big over here. The BossHoss ft. The Common Linnets - Jolene
there should be a video where she shows you her music for you to react to
My favorite cover ever. Try my second favorite cover Charles Bradley ‘Heart of Gold’
My first date with my ex-wife was seeing the White Stripes in concert in Atlanta. The concert was great. The marriage, not so much. lol
Should alot more White Stripes live
More live White Stripes would be cool. The way they would just jump from song to song and back is really fun and interesting. Death Letter from this concert is a great example iirc.
Yall should react to Jolene by Ray Lamontagne!! that one really tugs at your heartstrings.
I don't think this band ever did any covers but I would suggest Kittie Paper Doll. Excellent song and it is something Annie might like.
Back in the day when music was made with more feeling. Yes! Do Mama. Love genesis!
congratulations to you dad, you educated your girlfriend to good music ... I liked her final reaction ... great Missy 🙌
Excellent rendition of this, an Yes Annie did bob her head a bit 🤠🤘🏼😂🤣
Jack White is the best. His U2 cover love is blindness is amazing.
Jack White once told a story about seeing Dolly Parton at a Diner and paying for her and her friend's meal before he left.
After Genesis - "MAMA" go straight into "Home By The Sea" .. that is my favorite song on that whole Genesis album!
Iceland meets Texas? Dallas and Austin lad says check out The Civil Wars live version of Billy Jean.
Another one that might appeal that I just thought of, Placebo covering 'Running up that hill' by Kate Bush.
I totally forgot they did it. Excellent cover
Epicness! A stab in the heart
Pretty sure y'all reacted to this earlier in the year or end of last year but still a kick-ass reaction none the less.
You should try getting her reaction to the Parton & Pentatonix version of Jolene. Tremendous.
Bohemian Rhapsody - OG3NE + DRUM & BASS (Home Isolation Version) the best queen cover ever even queen give them the aproval
Holy cow. He opened his mouth, and all I could think about was Robert Plant.
Linkin park - what i've done
I wonder if there’s anyone out there reading these comments who knows of D’arcy Clay [RIP], and who saw him perform Jolene live too?
It was fairly good, White Stripe, but when are You going to play Tina S.? I'm sure that You've seen Her incredible abilities! She is on many, many platforms!! She plays many genres!!!
You will NOT be disappointed...
Leo, Sultans of swing... Or anything by Leo... I'm so happy you introduced me to him and his studio... I'm also mad at you for forcing me to watch each of your videos 2 or 3 times... 1 watch the video... 2 watch you watching the video...and 3 watching whichever child watching the video... Not real mad, mind you... Lol.
Hey if you guys get a chance, look up some friends of mine from Cincinnati. They are called “See You In The Funnies”
Love what you guys are doing!
Some other great covers, The Ataris - Boys of Summer, Ugly Kid Joe - Cat's in the Cradle, Social Distortion - Ring of Fire.
He makes it really like ur there ...
In the song not the show.
I love this version. Awesome. But the og version is the way it's supposed to be told. Annie should hear the original.
Does Annie play drums? She looks like she could be Meg Whites daughter.
We miss you Meg.
Would love to see what you guys think of The Raconteurs with Ricky Skaggs doing Old Enough
Compare another version, try the sisters of mercy
Song to me 👍
Is he singing to Meg?
You should hear it by Miley Cyrus
Agreed, the Miley Cyrus version is excellent. One of the few times she stops with the tongue sticking out nonsense and the weird antics and is just her normal self. Once one looks past all of that, she is actually a very good singer. Also helps that Dolly is her Godmother :-) th-cam.com/video/wOwblaKmyVw/w-d-xo.html
Speaking of epic covers - Sound of Silence by Disturbed & Careless Whisper by Seether. Great reaction material! 👌
TravD23 disturbed SOS has been done to death... amazing cover, but Seether, hell yes
@@glasswalker77 Agreed, but you also have to take into account that a big part of his channel is educating his daughter on songs of the past.

I agree with it being done to death, b I just would love to see their reactions to it. Seether, you rarely see that song reacted to, so I would definitely love to see them do that one as well.
You mean when Disturbed tried to ruin the Sound of Silence.
Reuoload?
Amazing cover , and no , they never did this in the studio. Want a brilliant cover do the man who sold the world or where did you sleep last night by nirvana
Nice, this original song of Dolly Parton always looks to me like Sting(Police) Roxanne, you could analyse that song to.... Greetings from Croatia...
LEO does a awesome job on mama. You gotta do sultans of swing by Leo
Come on Thomas you've built up Leo's version, I'm dying to hear that and get Annie's reaction to that along with yours! Coming soon?
Interesting version.
I didn’t know they covered this song lol
Not a fan of it. Lol
try this video(The Caesars - Jerk it Out)
Check out Leo from Leapfrogs version! Another classic would be El Paso aka Breaking Bad :)
I actually know this version but don't know the original version
Blue oyster cult- fear the reaper
