90210 and Dolly Parton

I am obsessed with 90210.  Yes, I loved the original but love the new even more.  Oh to be young and fabulous!  Anyways, they play very cool music throughout the show and a couple of weeks ago they played a song called "Jolene".  ABSOLUTELY loved it but had no idea who sang it.  So, I started my research and came up with no other than Dolly Parton. 9 to 5, twangy country, big booby Dolly Parton.  I am thinking there is NO WAY I like a song by her.  I used to cringe growing up when my parents would play their country crap(yes, I hate country music)...but this song was different.  It is powerful and I realized something...her voice is amazing.  So it is the odd-ball on my i-tunes playlist but that is OK.  Everyone needs a little odd-ball in their lives.

Give it a listen...
