If Black Sabbath Performed "Jolene"

Jolene”, which is perhaps Dolly Parton’s most iconic song, is a sad tale of a woman who wonders if a rival will seduce her man. It is apparently based on Parton’s own personal experiences, which is why she does not often sing this sad ballad.

As a metal song presented in the style of Black Sabbath, it’s more angry and threatening than mournful. The singer isn’t asking Jolene to back off but informing her that she will. Finnish musician Otu offers this powerful version while singing the lyrics and performing all of the instruments.

It was only after watching this entire video that I noticed that something is different about the Otu’s hand. In this inspiring video, he talks about how he overcame a birth defect in his left hand to become an accomplished novelist and cartoonist, as well as a professional touring multi-instrumental musician.
