Editorial Reviews

Recorded live under Blackpool lights, The White Stripes cover of Dolly Parton’s ‘Jolene’ is a masterclass in Blues rock brilliance. One of the most innovative and interesting bands of the last decade, The Stripes prove again and again that they are unsurpassed at creating exhilarating music. The title track is backed with the exclusive 'Black Math' - Live Under Blackpool Lights. Recorded live at the Empress Ballroom in Blackpool in January 2004. XL.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bootleg Version is Better, April 26, 2005

Don't get me wrong, this really is an amazing version of this song and Jack White just rips this song apart and breaks your heart but the bootleg version is better. The bootleg version is the original studio version and easy enough to find on the internet.

Amazing. If you thought Dolly's version of "Jolene" was good you will be blown away by this. Jack White adds heavy emotion to this song that Dolly never could do. He took a country song and made it better and even added a little of his own flavor to it...

Amazing performance of an amazing song. But the prices on here are too high. I'd wait for them to lower, or just enjoy it online. :)

Or buy the dvd.
