And I was just so happy she did ‘Jolene.’ I, of course, would have loved to have heard how she would have done it in its original way, but of course, you know, it’s Beyoncé. Yeah, her life is different than mine.” So would she duet with Beyoncé on a cover of “Jolene,” perhaps at the Grammy Awards? “Why of course I would — if I’m available, if I’m not caught up in something I cannot get out of, yeah, that’d be wonderful.
