As much as I love the song, it always bothered me that Jolene is often made out to be the villain when in reality, Dolly's no-good, eye-wandering, sleep-talking boyfriend is the true antagonist of the tale. Below is the link to my cover of Jolene, but from the perspective of Jolene herself. https://www.erlenedamarissam-peal.com/gallery daily 0.75 2021-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e4db8c778955a89baa944/6db2be2e-05c8-4d61-ba90-9a2ab8db9487/DSC_0682.jpg Gallery "Amber" - Valley of Light https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e4db8c778955a89baa944/88c44703-b124-4bc1-9050-c98f9ac0c6fb/000_4893.JPG Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e4db8c778955a89baa944/5ef02bfc-63e3-4d10-b7c5-c75868c6fd85/12019792_829173770515263_3466810504582876100_n.jpg Gallery "Bus Driver" - junta high https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e4db8c778955a89baa944/cdc17f92-a74d-4d0e-9f59-fffe1f7c781c/13886902_10210216871878976_4394050044106158394_n.jpg Gallery Salty Dog Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e4db8c778955a89baa944/bd66e998-288c-4bdd-ac1c-d6923c22a3f1/Attach33271_20160224_000720.jpg Gallery Lupita & I outside "Eclipsed" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e4db8c778955a89baa944/0ba75eeb-44c9-4856-9a36-74651118b630/IMG_9069.JPG Gallery "In the Next Room" Cast & Crew https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e4db8c778955a89baa944/1ed06fbe-9435-4953-83a1-38b53b4c2837/IMG_1527.JPG Gallery "Little Red" Into the Woods https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e4db8c778955a89baa944/28cefc09-1aa3-4209-9b53-102c9627ad02/15109535_10154854944135864_2463485310148914364_n.jpg Gallery The Addams Family: The Musical https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e4db8c778955a89baa944/be2bea72-78df-404e-b5e9-1d90bdc20ac9/12032060_829173433848630_1614957706379532143_n.jpg Gallery "Bus Driver" junta high https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e4db8c778955a89baa944/1619503937091-GD6NYDLIIOMW65NISRA3/1907648_750771041688870_4008545966170588830_n.jpg Gallery "I'll Cover You" Sadie Hawkins Cabaret https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e4db8c778955a89baa944/62619daa-8a30-44aa-8b5a-37fa6177eced/Large+4675.jpeg Gallery https://www.erlenedamarissam-peal.com/resume daily 0.75 2025-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607e4db8c778955a89baa944/7a618b2a-c2df-49e0-9bf3-ec7a6dc2e6ca/Erlene%27s+Resume Resume
