Luke and Kyle Abbott (of AbbottFamilyBlog.com) sing 'Oh Death', a song dating back to the 1600s which was featured in, "Oh Brother Where Art Thou?" Our version is based off of both Dock Boggs' 1928 recording and one from the New Lost City Ramblers.
Kyle uses Tuvan Throat Singing for the voice of Death.
This was recorded on Halloween 2008. Watch it at night in full screen mode for full effect. :-)

I am from the Appalachian highlands, the original source of this song; I have literally heard it all my life. This is one of the most original and impressive interpretations I have ever heard. The throat singing gives Death a creepy vibe that is unique and wonderful. Together with the straight singing, it is astonishing. Kudos!

I don't know why people are complaining about the throat singing....I have heard this style many times, and while it is inspired by Tuvan throat singing, it is not exactly Tuvan throat singing. I thought that it was wonderful to see such young people playing and singing this style of music...

I believe, as a musician and musicologist, the relative "complaints" may stem from the so- called "false claim" of throat singing. This is not throat singing, its more like a Heavy Metal style of singing, so to claim it as Tuvan throat singing is a false claim, and in today's negative environment, someone is going to get miffed, unfortunately. Personally, I thought it was a good rendition, essentially almost ruined by the faux throat singing. It could have been a great version without that.

It's been several years since I heard this song... and this rendition. I came back today because it is the absolute best version of "Oh Death" I've ever heard. Both of the brothers do an excellent job and capture the soul of both characters: Death - and a man longing for just one more year of life.

One clue would be if you listen to Dock Boggs' versions, both the 20s version and the one 40 years later. Dock had a voice like a buzz saw. But Dock never sang with sigit, that high whistling harmonic singing Kyle does briefly.

It's a type of singing that is somewhat common in the far East. Mongolian music utilizes throat singing very similar to what that young man's doing. Together with regular singing and spoken word, the musical groups of Mongolia sit in a circle while they sing and play their 2-stringed spike-fiddles. Their music is often about the same things we Westerners write about; war, love, hunting, riding horses, etc.. I'm not sure that throat singing goes well with Western music but it's great to have an open mind, especially enough to learn it! If anyone is interested in hearing Mongolian folk music, look-up the band "ANDA UNION" they are the only world-famous Mongolian group, and are incredibly talented and very humble people.

@bveracka
@bveracka 10 лет назад
Green Slug is correct, people who can do this with their voice are using their vocal chords, with luck and talent also in no short supply. As I understand it, the singer is literally "playing" two notes (or tones) with their voice; effectively "splitting" the note of they're singing with their voice. Many who can do this say that anyone can do it, and that it only takes lots of practice. Katelyn Newsome
