Take him Jolene. Blues / Country.

Описание: A smoky, bluesy tale of confidence, self-respect, and unapologetic freedom. Take Him, Jolene flips the classic story of heartbreak on its head — this time, the woman isn’t pleading or begging. She’s owning her power, letting go of a man who can’t stay, and walking away with her head held high.

Blues rock meets subtle country storytelling: dirty slide guitar, warm bass, and a slow-burning swampy groove give the track its raw edge, while the smoky female vocals deliver every line with strength and attitude. From intimate verses to a cathartic chorus, this is a track about taking control and refusing to compromise.

Listen if you like: modern blues rock, empowered storytelling, smoky female vocals, subtle country vibes, and a touch of defiance !

Clarence takes a backseat for this one and kindly plays rhythm guitar, while Maggie "moonshine" Holler makes her debut on vocals and steel guitar.

Lyrics - Take him Jolene

I saw the way his eyes lit up when you walked in
Same old spark, same old original sin
He’s always needed somethin’ shiny and new
So don’t mistake his hunger for truth

I won’t stand guard over a man who roams
I won’t beg a liar to stay at home

Take him, Jolene
If he’s slippin’ that fast
I don’t fight over futures
That are stuck in the past
Take his words, take his schemes
Take that restless routine
If he’s yours for the ask
Take him, Jolene

I ain’t your enemy, I ain’t your test
Just a woman who learned self-respect
If he’s whisperin’ vows he don’t intend
That’s a habit of his — it don’t end

I won’t trade my peace for a borrowed thrill
I won’t play the fool just to prove I will

Take him, Jolene
If he’s all you desire
But don’t dress up ashes
And call it fire
Take his touch, take his need
Take the cracks in between
If he’s yours for the ask
Take him, Jolene

Take him, Jolene
Take him, Jolene

I packed his boots, set ’em out by the door
Left his ring where it don’t mean nothin’ anymore
A man who wanders don’t need a sign
He was halfway gone before you crossed my mind

Take him, Jolene
No blood, no plea
If he’s leavin’ tonight
That’s his choice, not me
Take the lies he believes
Take the man he pretends to be
If he’s gone with the wind
Take him, Jolene

I’m done with that loser.
