Way back in 2000, the White Stripes released their powerful, unhinged cover of the 1974 Dolly Parton classic “Jolene” as the B-side to their “Hello Operator” single. That song was a regular highlight of the White Stripes’ live sets, and they performed it hundreds of times — way more times, as it happens, than Parton herself ever did. Jack White stopped performing that song after the White Stripes broke up, and he never played it live as a solo artist until last night.
