Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ tracklist includes ‘Jolene’ cover
Queen Bey seemingly dropped the tracklist to her highly anticipated country-themed Act II of her "Renaissance" era.
Please don’t take her man! Beyoncé just posted the tracklist to her upcoming album, “Cowboy Carter,” officially confirming that the Grammy winner will indeed cover one of the greatest country songs of all time: Dolly Parton’s “Jolene.”
The “Break My Soul” singer dropped a post to her official Instagram account midday Wednesday, featuring a red white and blue-themed tracklist for her highly anticipated “Act II” project. Track titles include “The Linda Martell Show,” “American Requiem” and yes, “Jolene.” While the artists set to feature on the album remain unclear, the post does include titles “Dolly P” and “Smoke Hour Willie Nelson,” which could either be songs referencing the country titans or featuring them as collaborators.
As theGrio previously reported, Parton already teased a possible cover of “Jolene.” In an interview this month with Knox News, Parton explained, “I think she’s recorded ‘Jolene,’ and I think it’s probably gonna be on her country album, which I’m very excited about that.”
“We’ve kind of sent messages back and forth through the years,” Parton continued. “And she and her mother were like fans, and I was always touched that they were fans, and I always thought she was great.”

This is a “Beyoncé” album.”
