Cover: The White Stripes, "Jolene"

Of all the male artists out there, there's a small minority who would see the value of singing "I'm begging of you, please don't take my man" simply because the lyrics as originally written say so (see also Me First & The Gimme Gimmes.) Jack knows the power of a good lyric, and belts it out with more conviction than anyone has a right to expect, and probably more passion than most of his own compositions. The White Stripes turned this Dolly Parton classic into a stomping blues-rocker that wails for mercy with earth-shattering guitars and a sinister shimmer in between. The Stripes are in fact excellent in their choices of covers as they always bring something to the table, whether it's the weary release of "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" or the mariachi duel of "Conquest."

See also this live version where Jack muses that "right place, wrong time," is the story of his life, and of course, the Gimme Gimmes offering their riotous punk take on it.
