Kelly Clarkson is delivering another fantastic cover of a Dolly Parton song.
She recently honored the queen of country at the ACM Awards last week with a stunning rendition of “I Will Always Love You”, and today, she’s bringing it with a cover of “Jolene” on her Kellyoke segment.
Kelly covers country songs quite often on her show, too, and has done tons of classics over the years like Willie Nelson’s “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain”, Travis Tritt’s “Here’s A Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)” and even Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire”, among plenty of other great ones.
