History

After discovering a cassette copy of R.E.M.'s "Fables of the Reconstruction", John Crooke was inspired to form a band with his cousin Dave Burris, and two long-time friends, Mike Kennerly and Mike Mitschele. After touring for six months, Jolene was spotted at a show in Nashville and signed to Memphis-based independent label Ardent Records, where they recorded their debut LP, "Hell's Half Acre", released in 1996.

Jolene signed with the major label Sire Records eighteen months later. With Sire, they released their second LP "In The Gloaming" in 1998. The band expanded to a five-piece during this time, with the addition of multi-instrumentalist Rodney Lanier.

In 1999, Jolene joined Blue Rose Records, and have released two albums on that label.

John Crooke and Dave Burris are currently involved with the LA-based band Lamps.
