Massive kudos to Jack White for not only taking this song to a whole new, haunting, level, but for being secure in his manhood to not change the lyrics.

When Dolly Parton sings it theres some kind of hope..... When Jack sings it sounds like its over...... pure desparation in his voice

I still can't comprehend how they get such a sound from just drums, one guitar and one voice.

We are so lucky to be alive at the same time Jack White is. He is a musical genius. That will not be realized by the masses until decades from now.

Hands down the best version of this song. Get chills every time I hear it.

The best version you can find ! 🤘

One of the most important bands of the new millennium came and went, and no where near enough people batted an eyelid. The White Stripes. Jack White doesn’t just sing and play music, he allows himself to get infected by the music.

Jack's interpretation is so heartbreaking and amazing!

hes like a character from a tim burton film, i love it

It is ridiculous how in love I am with this rendition

Nobody covers Jolene like Jack White he sings it with the right emotions and I love the way he makes that guitar cry.

Notice the huge crowd of people all mesmerized by the voice of a true artist singing from the heart giving no fucks what anyone there thinks

When live versions are better than studio you know you are dealing with artists.

I like Jack White's cover here. He really transforms the anguish in the original to insanity/obsession. Great job.

i don't think i've ever felt this way about a song before. and the way he sings it OH MY GOD! so much emotion. you've got to be a real man to sing "I'm begin' of you, please don't take my man". Jack White is amazing.

Holy Christ! What raw power and emotion he sings with..

100% best version of Jolene I have ever heard 🤩💯👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The best way to describe Jack White singing is, he literally feels the song with his throat.

I was 17 I was here my dad didn’t wanna see white stripes never heard of them talked him into it glad I did

This duo is a legend

I love this version so much, he has poured so much emotion in the performance that it transmits through to the viewer. Jack is brilliant and the way that the white stripes have chosen to play everything so simplistic is amazing.

So happy I saw them live,one of the best concerts ever!!!!

A singer/music man that actually cares about what they sing and play. And does both rather well, whilst considering emotion. Well played Jack. You have earned your thumbs up from me. Who's with me?

This is the kind of band I would've loved to see live...

Jolene: Holy shit dude, I didn't know he meant so much to you. Keep him, I've done enough damage already!!

Love to hear Jack sing, play & his memorizing trances of musical insight! If a person can sing from shadows of a soul-it is Jack:) A true musician has no apprehensions, reservations or care to input because when you bring it from the soul-lives change for those who listen and feel the music & nothing is the same again because of a song's performance.I get shivers, tears, and envy listening to him playing this! Soul is alive in music & he has a name-Jack White is the man!

Never thought a man can sing this song ... so good. Amazing

So much power and emotion in his voice like no other

I don't know about anyone else, but I would be completely speechless if I were to experience this performance live...

Love this version Jack has so much emotion he blows me away!

This is putting your soul into a song.

His voice, his guitar, his passions, his way to do all this thing, i just love everything on his musics

Best song I'd ever heard in my life,great job

not my typical preferred genre but this version is fucking bad ass! good job Jack.

When you saw this live and it still sends shivers down your spine then you just know this was a cover that was beyond special. One of the very few bands over the years where the live was far better than thd studio and a great time to be a fan.

I had never heard that song in my life, not until yesterday!!!!! Oh my God, I love this version so much!!!! And Jack is so unbelievably good!!!!! Can't stop hearing it!!!!

This is one of the best songs ever! What a voice. He's the bigest talent we've got in the music indrustrie right now.

OMG WOW !! That is truely an awesomely brilliant rendition of Jolene :). Passionate, emotional, excellent vocals, just superb and i can't praise them high enough.

His sings this song from the depths of his heart and soul.

I must absolutely agree. What a great performance. Just incredible. Goosebumps it is so good. Just love it!

What a powerful vocal performance!!

Gives me cold chills...love it!

When music takes you to another place...a better place ❤

My number one favorite band, no doubt, always and forever.

You should forget about Jolene, She's done the same thing to Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus and who knows how many more

Wow this is so haunting...

When I want to listen to this song I ALWAYS come back here... the THumb Nail just shows the pain/ effort in his face!!!

Surely the greatest cover version of any song ever

This has the same energy as Nirvana playing Where Did You Sleep Last Night

damn, i never noticed what a great singer he is…. he really puts a lot of emotion into it that the original lacks. very nice

They were the best musical pair !!!

Jack white can make an untuned guitar like an angel coming down from the heavens

The first and def best ALT VERSION of Dolly's Jolene. Not everyones cup of tea but loving the original and mileys version this is a welcome change of style and pace yet still keeping the female element present well done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He sings like his heart was just scorched with acid. Genius.

This band was amazing and awesome!!!

The amount of emotion he puts in to this song, is exactaltwhy Jack White is the greatest thing to happen to music in 20 years.

I've watched this everyday for a month

God, the emotion in Jack's singing just breaks my heart.

Amazing. Really feel this song when he sings it.

I was mad and shocked when the audience didn't erupt at the first word. Even if you didn't know The White Stripes had a cover of this song when you hear her name, you know the song. Then I realized the crowd had been stunned silent; through the whole first verse, no crowd noise. That's a pretty unmistakable sign of a virtuoso at work.

Remember being at glasto in 02 and watching them play live. They were impressive live and held the stage and crowd captive.

It's crazy how over 100 people mistook "dislike" for "dis I like"

his voice can make a classic brand new feeling. great work

2020 October 20 and I’ve had to come back to this gut wrenching rendition...sort of sums up 2020!

I just cried all the way through this passionate and tortured rendition. I'm straight. You're a beautiful man Jack, and I'm proud to say so. Thank you.

This song wouldn't be as good as it is without Meg's drumming ripping through the song. There's more than one way of playing the drums and I love how Meg plays. Compliments Jack's singing and playing so well.

'Tis a Tennessee connection. Jack very much appreciates Dolly's artistic contribution to our world and expresses it better than anyone else.... I play this when I get bored with mainstream and am always inspired.

Can't listen to this without having goose bumps. It's so heartfelt it makes you ache.

So intense, full of emotion. Amazing.

Still listening to this and it's 2018!!!

I love this remark of Jolene! Fantastic!

This is my fourth time trying to express what I just felt watching this video. There's not a word for it. I am truly speechless. 🎼

Jolene please dont't take his men, I beg you too.

He's coming to Mexico on october, can't wait to see him!!

My favorite cover of all time

You will be missed White Stripes, Thanks for changing my life through all these years.

AH THIS IS AMAZING, I LOVE JACK WHITE SO MUCH!! ROCK!!!

i feel same way.. he's remarkably good at singing this.. chills...

This cover rocks, probably one of my favourite cover versions. I don't understand how people can watch this video and think the drummer sucks, it's a Dolly Parton song, what did you expect?

Wow feckin wow Just genius I bow down ❤👌🎤🎼💯

It was a great and heart felt performance by Jack. I feel this crowd didn't appreciate how good Jack's performance was.

they fuckin killed it. what a performance he is trully begging jolene not to take his man

Thank you both.............Incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!.....#9.

God... This guys is simple the better, the originals . no words to explain! White stripes rockss!!

This very rare occasion where cover is better then the original itself.

I love how Meg just loses herself in the music,

his interpretation is the result of an amazing musician who's also a great actor

wow! this version of Jolene rocks my soul!

jack was born only to listen to the perfect dolly parton's song, and make even better.

fucking love this............version..

❤️ He blows it away.

Brilliant let's try get them on the charts with Jolene

Came here because of Meg (ranked in the Rolling Stone late list) who I always considerer as a (very) bad drummer .. this sequence right here is breathtaking I'm so high And so happy

SHOOKETH everytime I watch this😳

0:13 his last Jolene.....OH MY GOD. His voice is gorgeous, he is gorgeous, meg is gorgeous. I won't see them live either....I could cry.

I saw the title cover - rolled my eyes and gave my self 10 seconds. Well I stayed. Alternative and acoustically very well done. Bravo

we need more artist like jack who sing with passion

Holy fuck! He really, really means it!

HE MAKES MY HEART HAPPY!!

Can't get this out of my head! :)
