Dolly Parton's Other Voice

Dolly Parton is two amazing singers. If you slow her songs down (as if you were playing an old 45 at 33rpm) she sounds completely different and really terrific. At the blog 'Waking Up Now' you can listen to 2 songs - 9 to 5 and Jolene at regular speed. Then listen to them slowed down to a bluesy lament. Sounds great, expecially Jolene.

When I was a kid we would slow down a record of Kate Smith singing God Bless America. She sounded just like a a male opera singer.
