In late 2022, the trio told Taste of Country that their spin on Parton's classic - plus another song that they've since released, which updates Loretta Lynn's "Fist City" to "Welcome to Fist City" - is their way of keeping these beloved songs fresh in country fans' minds. Hart's reinterpretation is more than just a turbo-charged, extra empowered song update: It's also the band's fulfillment of the duty they feel to keep the flame of classic country music burning bright. Up-and-coming trio Chapel Hart caught their first taste of mainstream success as contestants on America's Got Talent, when they performed an updated version of Dolly Parton's "Jolene" called " You Can Have Him, Jolene." The continuing relevance of classic country music doesn't stop there. It's the musical version of a conversation about a great song, and in the story line, a hit that's more than two decades old still has enough life left in it to birth a brand-new romance. Not only does the guy in the song bond with the girl over their Messina fandom, but Swindell bonds with listeners over the same. More than just sampling the '90s original, Swindell's "Heads Carolina" calls on the camaraderie that emerges from shared love for - and memories surrounding - a favorite old song.
LYRICS TO THE SONG BUDDY HOLLY UPDATE
Swindell's update finds a guy walking into a bar, unaware that it's karaoke night, and becoming transfixed with a girl who belts her heart out to "Heads Carolina, Tails California" without even needing to check the lyrics. But equally popular are full-on reinterpretations: Cole Swindell's latest chart-topper is "She Had Me at Heads Carolina," which liberally samples from Jo Dee Messina's beloved 1996 hit, and also builds its legacy into a new love story.
