re: Your favorite cover of "Jolene"

Man, I'm a huge sucker for the Dolly Parton original (is it originally her song? I think so?) because I remember hearing it all the time as a kid. The White Stripes version was really raw and interesting, but I just wasn't feeling it.

I feel like the Ellie Goulding version really captures the spirit and feel of the original. Good for her. Not quite the same vocal chops, but I enjoyed it.

The version by Keith Urban, John Mayer, and Norah Jones at the Grammys was some good stuff (minus Mayer's vocal part). I especially enjoyed the pickin' Best link I could find

I saw Grace Potter do it live. Tremendous.

ETA: Holy crap, I loved that Rhonda Vincent version
