fallon_ash at 05:00pm on 07/08/2007 under musicOver at Dorothy Surrenders Dorothy (also known as Dorothy Snarker from AfterEllen.com) posts her 'weekend crush' every weekend. I'm not gonna do this regularly, and it's not even weekend, but the general idea fits well.
Now, you all know that I'm a fan of Melissa Etheridge. Dolly Parton I've never listened to as intently, but growing up in a house where country music was the main fare until I got old enough to buy my own albums I certainly like her a fair amount. Thanks initially to above-mentioned AfterEllen (tho in this case globalgrrl) I watched a bunch of clips from Melissa & Dolly's collaboration back in 2003 on CMT's Crossroads, and fell instantly for Jolene. A song I've known forever, but never paid much attention to. Until I heard Melissa sing it. Now, of course I'm biased, because I've never met anything by Melissa that I didn't like, but this is an unusually lovely cover. I love Melissa's voice, and she and Dolly do some really nice harmonizing.
