Everyone knows Jolene…
I’m Heidi Vincent, a Vancouver-based independent artist & my newest single is “Mean Jolene.”
Written as a continuation of Dolly Parton’s Jolene, the song asks the question the original never answered: what happens years later?
Told from the same woman’s perspective, it turns out Jolene didn’t steal a prize — she inherited the problem… with a little karma baked in.
The track carries nods to Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, and a hint of Stan Jones while staying rooted in modern country storytelling.
Produced by Winston Hauschild (Treehouse Studios Bowen Island, BC), the recording features:
🤠Lee Kelley – Nashville (drums)
🤩Jerry Wong – Vancouver (guitars)
⚡️Ryan Hauschild – Bowen Island (guitars)
