"Sad Man's Tongue" comes from Volbeat's 2007 album Rock the Rebel/Metal the Devil, and it's where the band's metal swagger kicks off its boots and goes country. Michael Poulsen wrote the words and music, and the credits give away the twang: Anders Pedersen on lap steel, Rod Sinclair on banjo and guitar, Martin Pagaard Wolff on acoustic guitar. It's a barroom stomp dressed up in heavy riffs, and it proves a banjo can headbang.
