Rocktober Video #13: "Jolene" by The White Stripes

One of my favorite bands is The White Stripes.  One of my favorite songs by the band (and one of my favorite cover songs by any band) is their version of Dolly Parton's "Jolene."  It might not seem natural on paper for a male singer in a Detroit garage band to cover a female country artist begging some other woman taking her man, but Jack White's execution is hauntingly perfect.  This version is from the band's concert film and live album Under Great White Northern Lights, recorded as they toured Canada in 2007.
