I’d listen to the albums on repeat for two or three days at a time and not even mind. Hearing those old albums all the way through again (and one or two for the first time), I felt like I was hearing a new band for the first time. This is exactly what drew fans to Volbeat in the first place.Īs I was listening to and reviewing Volbeat’s back-catalog, I rediscovered the band.
Dusty’s original is almost an old-school big-band/swing tune, but with some extra energy and a unique voice Volbeat’s cover is successfully geared toward fans of Metallica and the like, but with a unique voice and elements from as far back as 60s pop. It’s almost a thrash metal song, but sung by a singer with a voice unlike anything else out there.īoth versions are memorable because they’re novel without being unfamiliar. It’s a catchy cover of a great tune, Michael Poulsen has a great voice, and the instrumentation is top-notch. Just over 40 years later, Volbeat’s very first music video defines what modern mainstream metal could be. It’s catchy, Dusty’s got a great voice, and she’s backed by a talented big band. It’s a great tune, and a fantastic snapshot of the best of pop music in 1963. Recently, I heard Dusty Springfield’s “I Only Wanna Be With You” for the first time.
