Sometimes, something just catches your eye (or in this case, your ear) in ways that you can't explain. I'd seen a mention or two of Volbeat in the past, but Youtube prompted me to take a leap of faith with "Lola Montez," off of their newest Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies. Their genre may be metal in nature, but I find that this track specifically leans more on the rock side of the spectrum. It's brilliant nonetheless. Lola Montez is a seductress with that spider dance of hers, and this track is just as alluring. Is it based on the story of the real Lola? Perhaps, but with the real girl having lived 150 years ago, Volbeat's work is a modern update on the story. The vocals resonate, the guitar work is magical, and dare I say it, this track could be...perfect.
Don't look in her eyes, you might fall and find the love of your life.
