In 1973 Dolly Parton released her big country hit that put her on the map. "Jolene" was a hit country single that made it to #1 on the Billboard Country chart and #1 in Canada. It also charted on the Billboard Hot 100 peaking at #60 and #44 on the Adult Contemporary Music chart. Since then, it has become her signature song and has been covered several times over many years by many other artists. The linked audio file above (from YouTube) is the original track that became the hit in early 1974.
In recent years the following covers appeared: Dolly Parton & Pentatonix (2016) - This version made it to #18 on the Billboard Country Chart.
This version came out in 2012 by Miley Cyrus as part of the Backyard Sessions video on YouTube.
Alternative rock duo The White Stripes recorded this version which charted well in Europe, 2004 & 2005.
There is a new version (2020) that was released last month by Chiquis and Becky G.

I only know the Dolly Parton original, and I like it. So the rest is all new music for you. One thing i love about old music, is that if you have never heard an old sing before and are listening to it or a cover of it, isn't the old song a new one for you? I like discovering "new" old songs.

Dolly's version is best.
I am kinda drawn to Olivia's version.
