Beyoncé covers "Jolene," gets a voicemail from Dolly Parton

Zoom in: Dolly Parton makes a cameo in the track "Dolly P," a spunky voicemail from Parton to Beyoncé.

• "Hey Miss Honeybee, it's Dolly P," Parton says.

What she's saying: Parton references Beyoncé's 2016 song "Sorry," in which she sang about another woman — "Becky with the good hair" — romancing her partner.

• "Reminded me of someone I knew back when," Parton says.

The intrigue: The message segues into a rousing, reworked cover of "Jolene" that channels Loretta Lynn's "Fist City."

• Beyoncé sings new lyrics that warn Jolene to stay away, or else.

The big picture: As Beyoncé said, there's more to "Cowboy Carter" than country.

• There's plenty of Nashville twang throughout, but the 27-track album swerves between genres with gusto.
