In 1973, Dolly Parton released her seminal track “Jolene”. In the years that have followed, the song has been reinterpreted and reimagined by many artists including Olivia Newton John, Miley Cyrus, Lil Nas X, the White Stripes, and, of course, Beyonce. On this episode of One Song, LUXXURY and Diallo Riddle are joined by comedy legend Andy Richter to talk through the history and impact of this singular anthem, and the many Jolenes.
In the previous two episodes, the team has been investigating the mysterious happenings at the Pompee house - a transplanted historic home now sitting atop a cliffside in far west Austin. Homeowners Kevin, Sherry and their six year old daughter Jolene have been having strange experiences since moving in in 2018. Through interviews the team learned that the family were having sightings of what they believed to the spirit of a little girl in white stockings, shadow figures in doorways and hallways, disembodied voices calling both Sherry and Jo throughout the house, and lastly the previous home owner who passed away while living in the home has been felt throughout the upstairs front room and parlor. Following the team's interviews, they decided to bring in their psychic friend Jeffery to see if they could connect any dots between the sightings, the history and what he might pick up on his visit. Jeffery validated many experiences, including the previous homeowners presence. But he also brought to light a slightly more unsettling presence that seemed to like watching the homeowners daughter sleep. This led the family to open up to the team, for the first time, about Jolenes' night terrors and her fear of sleeping alone. Then, at the end of this initial investigation, a psychic medium named Michelle with no connection to this case, the team or this family was pulled into this case in a unique way. Now, in this episode, the team continues their adventure at the Pompee house, this time with this unexpected new psychic medium joining us from north Texas. EPISODE SPONSORS:FACTOR:Thanks Factor!

Cheating. It's a tough part of relationships that lots of us go through -- just look at all the songs about cheating hearts and Jolenes. On this episode, cohosts Kourtney and Clarissa talk about some of the pop culture cheating scandals that happened during season break and how it reminded them of their own experiences with infidelity.

Welcome back to the new season of the Growing Small Towns Podcast! Oh man, we are so excited to be back with a routine and a schedule and new episodes and new things in the works, we just can't even. This episode is a solocast with Rebecca talking about loving on our locals—sure, we want to invite people into our small towns, but are we doing that at the expense of the people who already live there? In this episode, we cover: Why businesses that mean it when they say “Our people are our most important asset,” are the ones who are going to be the most successful, and why our small towns should think like those kinds of businesses Becoming tourism-focused at the expense of the small town's culture and residents Why we need to reward the regular Joes (and Jolenes, obviously) for the amazing things they're doing—big and small—that make our small towns better places to be How we can increase the “20” in the 80/20 rule How the rule-enforcing entities of small towns (necessary! We need those!) can become less roadblock-y and more set-the-tone-y.

Frank didn't realize that Kathryn was serious when she said that she would take a day trip to Bluff Mountain. Kathryn says the check engine light in her car is on. Her husband said it was the low tire pressure light instead. Frank's wife's sister and husband were in town for a visit. One night they were watching the first few episodes of Ted Lasso and Jere laughed because Ted is a “visual learner” like Frank. The two couples went to dinner at Razzleberry's Ice Cream Lab before the Secret City Improv Festival. Somehow Frank “Ted Lasso-ed” it and got the restaurant owner to serve them four orders of Kassler Ripchen ten minutes before dinner service began. Kathryn visited Jolenes' on Bruce Street a few days after she and Frank recorded a video segment there. The manager said that Frank “seems like he could be very convincing.” Kathryn tells the story of how she and Frank first met when he interviewed her on the radio.

Today, we will discuss our lives. When asked to recall a joyous moment, was it when you were 5 or 85 years of age? This is what is so beautiful about the show today, the questions that remind us of the life we have lived. Reading over the questions in the cards that Jolenes company provides will walk you through the earliest days of remembering your life's journey! Think about it, our life's journey encompasses so many experiences. It is a tapestry of milestones and memories that come to mind when we reflect on our lives. However, our life story is much more than just the big moments. There are the important events that shape our lives – childhood, first job, meeting a partner, having children and travel. And then there are the influences along the way that add to the texture and color of who we are, and what we value. Even if you know most of the narrative of your loved one's life, there are always things that you don't know.
I had an interesting conversation on Facebook the other day about the struggle we artists tend to go through because of the nature of our work. Nothing to do with having to be sad and crazy to make art (a dumb myth if I ever heard one), but about the divide between the upper echelon of art consumption that is the auction market and the low end of our world, the regular Joes and Jolenes, that are selling their art on Etsy or Saatchi Art.
Dan Janisch is an affable enigma. He has been around the block, and he's still at it - writing solid songs and playing shows - beholden to no one. He has always operated a bit apart from the mainstream, so much so that he has built a career out of being an outsider. He comprises one third of the songwriting team of the Los Angeles local supergroup, Jolenes, and he has albums of his own. But it's Janisch's Renaissance man lifestyle that helps to paint the legend of his maverick status. He's not content to simply crank out great songs or play solid guitar parts. He is a natural craftsman and a tinkerer who is not afraid to deconstruct things to see how they work, so when Janisch plays those great songs, he might just be doing so with a guitar he built or an amplifier he assembled. Janisch wears his influences on his sleeve, which leads to inevitable comparisons to a number of other artists, and at this stage in his career his voice is eerily reminiscent of an alt-country Neil Diamond - and that's not a bad thing.

Supergroups come in all sizes, at least that's the convention behind Los Angeles' Jolenes. The three songwriters that form the heart of the band each have their own outfit; Grant Langston's stalwart band is called the Supermodels, David Serby fronts The Latest Scam, Dan Janisch has a group that plays under his own name and the fourth member, drummer Dale Daniel, is a veteran of the Los Angeles music scene - and their collective resume features a dozen or more albums and countless shows between them. So what brought these busy guys together and inspired them to add yet another responsibility to their schedules? The answer is friendship and an undying love for country music. The Jolenes' communal songwriting arrangement allows these three writers and bandleaders to abdicate the responsibility of being the boss by sharing that load with other artists who they call their friends. Rather than simply playing different arrangements of songs from their respective catalogs or leaning on covers, the Jolenes sit in a room - together - with guitars and some beer and hammer out ideas in the round - and it's this fun, communal approach that is evident in the new songs written specifically for the band. The group's lineage draws a lot of water right out of the gate in the Los Angeles music scene - further allowing them to largely sidestep the rigmarole of scrapping around to book the good gigs. When asked, the guys in the Jolenes will say that they're having too much fun to yet think too much about making an album. Once you hear them, you may hope that they change their minds.
