Footage filmed last summer of Miley Cyrus performing Dolly Parton's 1976 hit, 'Jolene' has surfaced on YouTube.

Featuring Cyrus pre-cropped and bleached hair, the performance was part of the 'Backyard Sessions' with her band, Jamie Arentzen (guitar) and Jaco Curaco (guitar). The film was created by Kevin and Rebecca Joelso. The sound engineer was Paul Hager.

Cyrus has covered other songs in the past including Gorillaz's 'On Melancholy Hill' as well as tracks by Nirvana, Fleetwood Mac, Poison and Joan Jett.

Cyrus is currently recording her fourth studio album with Pharrell Williams.

Earlier this week Cyrus tweeted a festive photo of her driving with a blow-up doll as a passenger (see below). She tweeted alongside the shot: "Does this count for the carpool lane? Such a nice Xmas gift.'
