A recording released after Dolly Parton’s death features the country artist singing her well-known song Jolene in Welsh, in a performance described as a source of pride by those close to the project.
Parton’s niece, Jada Star, and Welsh singer Bronwen Lewis said the country artist was proud to sing the song in the Welsh language. The release brings a Welsh-language version of Jolene to listeners in a recording made by Parton.
The song is one of Parton’s best-known works, but the supplied material does not provide further details about when the recording was made, when it was released or the circumstances surrounding its production.
The recording is now available following Parton’s death, preserving her performance of Jolene in Welsh for release after her lifetime.
