Music Teacher Reacts: DEAD SOUTH - In Hell I'll Be In Good Company 

And it's a grey version of you are my sunshine

Yeah just saw that yesterday..Cringed at the thought they were doing a remake of the original but man, they nailed it....Didnt keep to the original tone of the song but twisted it into their own style and made it work.

Incredible rendition, it was!

and it's the best version of YamS that I think I've ever heard... Dead South are one of the best bands I've found over the last 5 years.

Yes, 🥰 that and Rain drops were my first songs my Dad taught me to sing while he played guitar and they are still my favorites. 😍😍 I love their version on You are my SunShine ☀️

😂😂😂Actually, the style of dress they wear is reminiscent of the Southern US around the 1890's and early 1900's. As for 'Amish' music, check out Weird Al's "Amish Paradise". In reality, the Amish only sing church music, worldly music is not allowed. Lucky you to be there when the video was being made. A Canadian band taking all those themes of Southern folk, country and traditional music, and twisting it in such an entertaining way.

I'm not really sure what they wore back then, but I kinda doubt it was black. The summer is fiercely hot and WET, so black would have been outright miserable. In the west it was more common, for some reason. Oddly enough the old people I met dressed heavy during the summer, to avoid sunburn I guess!

@@TheLostBijou They wore that _style_, and there were many different colors unlike what the Amish wear. A style isn't limited to one color, The Dead South chose black as their signature color. Amish men wear shades of black, the women wear dark solid colors. During that period fashion was transitioning from the styles of the Antebellum South, and Victorian Era, to more modern styles. Note one wears a belt rather than suspenders. One wears a long tie, rather than bow or bolo ties. Amish men don't wear ties or belts. These guys echo the fashion transition of that era, and make use of the folk, bluegrass, western, traditional music and elements that evolved into country music; but they use the darker more twisted themes. Cheating spouses, incest, murder (Scots-Irish and Scottish immigrants brought "murder ballads" from their countries to the US), etc.

...but all the shots were taken from Toronto. I've walked those streets and alleys. Love this group, great sound. 🎶🎵

Cool. This is a really good vid. In an interview, Nate Hilts called that the "stupid dance", and talked about doing it all over Canada while shooting the vid!

Got a violist friend that's been suggesting it as an alternative to an acoustic bass

@@MitWS Electric/acoustic basses and cello are in the same pitch range. So it makes sense. Tuning will be different though, guitar and bass has a 4th interval between strings, where classical strings are tuned to a 5th interval

Finally someone else who finds the strap cello as cool as I do

As a banjo picker, I have to wonder if the cello might be a bit of overkill! LOL! Seriously, I love the minimal arrangement...it's just right. Probably had to fight the producer to keep him from adding horns, a string section, backup choir, and of course...COWBELL!

Right?! HUGE ear worm!

Try Steve 'n Seagulls next.

Scotland is my expat dream💜

YES. Just saw them in Spokane, WA on 12/22/21

Best version of that song EVERA. They made it so haunting. I love it! Just discovered it yesterday

It's how that song should have been recorded by legit how sad the song is!

You're exactly right. I've heard the song countless times over my 45 years, but their version gave me antique lyrics in an entirely different light. For me it brought forth a stalkerish kind of vibe. Im really digging it

Its in a minor key

SAME! Like, holy fuck. I watched this so many times and then went "... Wait... THE FUCK?! THOSE ARE ACTUAL FUCKING SCENE CHANGES?! Holy hell!"

I'm amazed that their multiple video takes in different cities were so exactly the same that they could cut from one scene to the next and not have people 'teleport' a bit. They were spot-on the SAME in each video shoot - just exactly as far apart, just exactly the same stance, same position, everything.

Yep.100dredts of gallons of moonshine😂😂😂😂😂😂

Look up Kate McCannon by Colter Wall. I believe it tells another side of the story sung in this song. I could be completely out to left field with that but the line that ties the song is the the mention of 'three rounds.' Also they have recorded songs together in the past

...but all the shots were taken from Toronto. I've walked those streets and alleys. Love this group, great sound. 🎶🎵

Same here, I love this song

Me, too!

another interpretations out there are that the abused wife kills her husband , he both proud of her for standing up to him and is disgusted with her action but since she committed murder she'll also end up in hell. or he shot his wife and her lover then killed himself so 3 rounds. who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@@blairkimberlin3447 No it isn,t, the band explained what this song is about in a video and they say : its about a man killing his cheating wife and hoping he goes to hell soon so he can be with her again

Not a Bass, it is a Cello. Still awesome!

The bass player is no longer with them. He had some issues with too many girls, can't keep something in his pants......

@@jbleir6266 Hey thats why you join a band LOL

Ha. The lyric to Banjo Odyssey is even more mountain-country stereotype. It is a bit icky if you think about it too much. Again, though, the music is compelling. 😏

this band is awesome and this is the first song i thought of for him to do next.

The funniest part of that video is watching the crowds as people start to make sense of the lyrics. A pause, shock, wtf keep dancing.

I believe that is actually a cello, performed in pizzicato.

@@milesgilbertpiano thank you for the correction.

Nothing better than raspy grit! 🎵

@@bearpawz_ I agree, 😍

My brother, a total metal head, actually got me listening to them Michelle. I been a fan ever since.

@@1972cd I saw the recommendation on my FB feed. Probably wouldn't have bothered except it was from someone whose taste I really respect. So thankful for it!

True words

This is my second favorite. In my opinion "Massacre of El Kuroke" is the best one, if you haven't tried yet, listen the version where they are in a cafe

Broken Cowboy is my earworm! Sometimes for days on end. This is great too.

Great song

Dead South and Heimatdamisch Two of my favorites!

You've probably seen it already, but they have a great (just over 44 minute) video on here where they play at Red Rocks in Colorado. 😊🎵 Edit: Wow.. My post only printed out a few words -- weird! Anyway, Live at Red Rocks and the setting is perfect for them!

Watch it at least weekly while sewing 😀

@@batteriesnotrequiredtoysth7271 Oh awesome!!

@@bearpawz_ My Facebook memories tells me that two years ago today I was at the Center of the Arts in Regina seeing TDS LIVE! Would love to see them at an outdoor venue someday

Awesome!!

Ditto.

Gunslinger is a epic song! I love old country that told a story while you sing along!

Gunslinger’s glory is definitely one of their best songs

I'd add Bastard Son, Banjo Oddessy and Broken Cowboy.

And the new one “You Are My Sunshine” (it’s DARK, not a happy one).

I’m just happy you saw it! It looks like it may be blocked soon :(

@@TempleMusicAcademy No way. There's no reason to take it off. Are they high or what. Good grief

Allison Krause also has a duet album with… um… the guy from Led Zeppelin … Jimmy Paige www.google.com/search?q=raising+sand+tracklist&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAONgVuLSz9U3MM7KTTHIe8Toyi3w8sc9YSmbSWtOXmM04-IKzsgvd80rySypFNLgYoOy5Lj4pJC0aTBI8XAh8Xl2MSmmpKYlluaUxJckJlllJ1vp55YWZybrJ-YkleZaFefnpRcvYhUrSswszsxLVyhOzEtRKClKTM7OySwuAQBkezN3kwAAAA&ictx=1&ved=2ahUKEwjJ8pbG2o7xAhVGZ80KHYhPCq8Qj74CKAEwA3oECB0QJg

Thanks Lisa! Welcome to our family :)

As a general fan of Metal and Rock, I love Bluegrass.

They are awesome. Been a fan for awhile. Really also like their vid “The Devils Look Like Angels”

Inbound suggest Great Big Sea as a little different and fun band also

I love this song and I love this band. I was married to the lady they wrote That song about Thank God she's already dead. That brass knife is still stuck in my shoulder. When I get to hell, I guarantee you. She will be waiting. She wants her knife back. In hell, I will be in good company.

I noticed that too..

I’ve watched this video dozens of times… never noticed

Hello Germany!! Haha
