The New Song Project – Jolene
I’m very much looking forward to taking some ensemble classes down at the Folk School of St. Louis at the end of next month, and figured it probably means it’s time to start getting un-rusty on the guitar. So, I’ve decided to learn at least one new song each week that I can share with you on the YouTubes. Only took me an hour to figure out this one, Jolene (a Dolly Parton song that I’ve always been a little bit in love with the lyrics).
Any requests? I’m looking especially to learn some more folksy-bluegrassy-old timey country songs, so leave your suggestions here.
Yes. You made me cry. Again.
Anything from Dolly, try: Marry Me
Linda Rondstadt:
You’re No Good
Blue Bijou
When Will I Be Loved
Kathy Mattea: Shanding Knee Deep in a River
Vince Gill: Whenever You Come Around
What about Janis Ian’s “Seventeen” ?
And, I think it’s time for you to do Janis Joplin’s “Bobby McGee.”
