Dolly Parton's "Jolene" at 33rpm

Dolly Parton sings "Jolene" but played at 33rpm instead of 45rpm.
The results are ... astounding?

Parton has said the inspiration for this song came from a redheaded bank teller who she believed charmed her husband.

It's also an interesting demonstration of the virtues of analog recordings. If you took the 44.1KHz CD version and played it at 32KHz, it would sound like muffled crap. This just sounds like a different song.

edit: Er, okay a different version of the same song. If it played a different song, that would be really impressive.

Most songs sound awful when played at the wrong speed, analog or not.

Great sift, that sounded awesome.

Metallica's "Memory Remains" sounds completely badass with the Creative EAX male to female voice converter btw. ; )
