Leslie Gore’s 1963 Fem Anthem—“You Don’t Own Me”—Gets A Makeover
The Dollyrots from Florida, a punk trio, has added some balls to an already defiant song. Their version of Leslie Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me,” on Stevie Van Zandt’s Wicked Cool label, came out June 27 b/w an original, “Get On This Ride.” They’ll be playing both songs when their current tour wraps up in Atlantic City at the Anchor Rock Club.
The Dollyrots Are ‘Still Holding On’
Stevie Van Zandt’s Wicked Cool Records have released “Still Holding On” by The Dollyrots. Bassist/Vocalist Kelly Ogden says the song “is a stand-alone single pulled from our new album [due this fall] about counting on the people you love to get you through the strangeness of modern life. The lyric video features an AI-generated version of me, a digital reminder of how off-kilter the future is becoming.”
