Production and songwriter credits for Beyoncé's new album 'Cowboy Carter' were recently released on streaming services, unveiling some surprises in terms of the musicians involved. During her acceptance speech for the Innovator Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, Beyoncé disclosed that Stevie Wonder played harmonica on her cover of Dolly Parton's 'Jolene,' a reimagined version of the 1973 classic. Wonder, who presented the award to Beyoncé, was thanked by the artist for being a significant source of inspiration. Beyoncé expressed her gratitude towards Wonder, acknowledging his influence on her musical journey.
'Jolene' stands out as one of the tracks on 'Cowboy Carter,' featuring revised lyrics and a modified song structure. Originally a song by Dolly Parton about a woman pleading with another not to take her man, Beyoncé transformed the narrative into a cautionary message to a suitor eyeing her husband.
