Singer, Dolly Parton Hails Lil Nas X Over Rendition Of ‘Jolene’
American singer and Country music legend, Dolly Parton gave a heartfelt endorsement to singer Montero Lamar Hill better known as Lil Nas X for his recent rendition of her hit song “Jolene,” which he performed for BBC Radio One’s Live Lounge.
She wrote on her Instagram page,
“I was so excited when someone told me that Lil Nas X had done my song “Jolene”. I had to find it and listen to it immediately…and it’s really, really good.
“Of course, I love him anyway. I was surprised and I’m honored and flattered. I hope he does good for both of us. Thank you Lil Nas X”.
Lil Nas X dropped his new album, “Montero,” earlier this month, which includes a song with Miley Cyrus. His 2019 megahit, “Old Town Road,” featured her father, Billy Ray Cyrus.
He recently teased that he will not rest until he “has collected every Cyrus stone to harness the ultimate power.” Perhaps this is part of his quest as Parton is Miley Cyrus’s godmother.
