Last year in September, Pentatonix proudly posted a video on their YouTube channel. Dolly Parton sings the leads while the Grammy-winning a capella group did the backup harmonies and rhythm to her famous song “Jolene.”

For me, acapella is surely impressive because it where you can really hear the voice quality of the singer without accompaniments or electronic edits. Pentatonix surely wowed me with all their unique song and engaging arrangement of popular songs.

Imagine them collaborating with Dolly Parton in a rendition of the Tennessee native classic, “Jolene.”

Parton released the deluxe version of “Pure & Simple” with Cracker Barrel. It is the first time that Pentatonix partnered with her and she is their Spotlight Music artist ever!

Both parties were open with their praises towards each other saying how fun it was to have collaborated on the song’s rearrangement while Pentatonix calls it “a dream come true.”

Singing with @PTXofficial was pure magic, and we had lots of fun rearranging the song! #PTXDollyJolene

I personally loved their performance and I hope you did too.
