The Dead South - Banjo Odyssey [Official Music Video] 

Her: "I love you, but like a cousin." Me: *plays this song*

Came for the bluegrass Stayed for the cousin loving.

Me: wow this a catchy song....wait, wtf did he just say?

I love that when they filmed this, they had a suitcase of CDs, and a handmade sign saying "pay what you want :) " and now, here we are 5 years later, their music has been in television shows, I've heard two of their songs on the radio, they've had at least one world tour that i know of, and one of their LPs even charted. Not bad for guys singing a song about cousin lovin' in front of the Royal Bank Plaza in Toronto.

As a southerner i'm insulted, as a musician i'm inspired.

"I guess she's my cousin but she needs some sweet lovin' anyway" WTF THAT CAUGHT ME SO OFF GUARD LMAO

I love the banjo in this song this dude has got some serious talent

You know what, they sold me. I'm gonna go score with my cousin.

Since discovering this band through 'In Hell I'll Be in Good Company' I literally haven't been able to stop listening to them. All day at work it's whatever they have on RU-vid on repeat since Tuesday.

Thank you Canada for keeping Bluegrass, string music, and the banjo alive. You make us Kentuckians happy.

Spat my drink across the room when the chorus started. Worth it. Love these guys.

I heard this song on spotify, got to the part about cousin loving and was so confused- came to this comment section to make sure I wasnt crazy and found pure comedy gold. Great song!!

This song is so deliciously wrong. Gotta love a band that can poke fun of the stereotype. It's brilliant and love the music arrangement. I love their other songs as well.

Everyone always be jamming to the beat then the look on peoples faces when that chorus drops, PRICELESS.

What a great band, just discovered this outfit via 'In Hell I'll Be In Good Company'.

This band is like a drug: can't get enough of this good good.

Found these guys by mistake now i love em.

This is the best song about cousin loving I've ever heard.

I like how they take their music seriously but not themselves so much.

my absolute favorite song of the Dead South.

"Paddle faster! I hear banjos!" Me: *paddles towards the banjos*

Freaking banjo mans got the hardest job. He's got to lay down that sweet rift while playing the drums with his foot.

These guys made all my dreams come true when they signed my ticket at Newcastle Uni in Oz. Thank you The Dead South. I will never forget the pure music and joy that you give.💝

Recently saw you on Tv . I was so captivated by the sound of the Banjo, My Dad played guitar and Banjo in an Australian Jazz Band. Rehearsals were often at our house. So I was around all my life. When I grew up I married a Drummer/singer in a Rock Band I still love music. We are hooked on you guys, can’t wait to hear more. I’m 80yrs old and Ray , my husband is 82. Married for 58 yrs. Two girls one boy, they are all music lovers. We have 7 Grandchildren And 7 Great Grandchildren and the older ones all are music lovers . Know all the words to all different kinds of music that have been hits. Keep going we love your talents. Kind regards Happy Jamming . Love from Australia❤❤❤❤

me and my cousin love this song might have it at our wedding😂

How is it that it took a group of Canadians to get me into folk/bluegrass? I love this!

I saw banjo odyssey and thought it'd be an interesting song. I'm not fucking disappointed.

The Dead South that I came for and stayed for the sweet loving tunes

"she's my cousin and she needs some sweet lovin anyway". Classic line.

I just love that they sing this in an urban area mocking what the urbans think of southerners 🤣🤣🤣🤣

When I went to see the Dead South at the Fillmore Theater in December 2021, the whole audience was begging them to play this song, they saved it for last.

If they did this now, people would pack the streets. Specially if they gave us some notice!

Makes me want to go to blackwater to pick up all that money we left behind..

I played this song for my uncle... We broke up after.

Lyrics Now!: Tore up the restraining order I don't care I'm comin' over What your daddy said isn't goin' over to well Don't you know not to kiss and tell Mama said, she's my brothers daughter And I don't even know who's my father I guess she's my cousin But she needs some sweet lovin' anyway Pulled you out by your hair If people ask I was never there Come on baby and take a ride with me Come on baby let's drive to the sea Mama said, she's my brothers daughter And I don't even know who's my father I guess she's my cousin But she needs some sweet lovin' anyway It's a hot night drivin' down highway sixty With my baby in the passenger seat I roll down my window and I Lean my head back and put my foot to the floor We're going faster And she's saying slow down (Slow down) We're going faster And she's saying slow down (Slow down) We're going faster And she's saying slow down (Slow down) We're going faster And she's saying slow down (Slow down) And I say no And she's saying slow down And I say no And she's saying slow down And I say no And she's saying slow down And I say no And shes screaming slow down And I say no Mama said, she's my brothers daughter And I don't even care who's my father I guess she's my cousin But she needs some sweet lovin' anyway

the banjo............. astonishing

I love how the video for a song about cousin loving is basically "look how nice Toronto is!"

The Dead South is so addictive, and that originality engulfs the musical senses.

Being from Baltimore city... I thought I'd never be into this kind of music. I'm a rap, hip hop head but this is some damn good music tbh.

From the very moment i saw him i decided the banjo player is the coolest looking bloke I've ever seen

I can't find a single song that dosent rock by this band. Best ever guys

I like to listen to this while I watch Game of Thrones.

if alabama was a nation this would be the national anthem

After years of hearing you guys, tomorrow my banjo is arriving. Thanks for the inspiration!!

YES! Been waiting for the bearded backup singer to have his solo. Amazing voice

Back in my day we called this mountain music. Loved it then, still love it today...even more in fact, todays music is missing all the soul.

Absolutely love this band great music love from Scotland

Why is the drum just so good

I'm just amazed seeing a resurrection of thiss...folksy(?) southern(?) bluegrass(?) type of music. And it's coming out of places you wouldn't even expect like Canada or California for crying out loud haha. And it sounds genuine too. Very interesting. I hope this kind of music sticks around for awhile. I'm a Mexican dude from a California suburb and this shit gets me UP. I never understood why people don't like a particular song just because it's from a particular genre. If a song is good, it's fucking good. It doesn't matter if it's rock, jazz, soul, folk, rap, EDM or whatever; or if it's perceived to be white or black or purple people music.

"She's my cousin, but she needs some sweet lovin anyway". Wow ... I think this is my new favorite band.

Never did I ever think that the bass guitar and drums could be overshadowed by another instrument. The cello work is irreplaceable. The man's voice in 'other songs' is amazing as well!

I'd die happy if I got to see The Dead South live.

this has to be the most catchy banjo riff I have ever heard. he plays soo well, I've never saw anyone play banjo well in all the different styles. props to the dead South.

possibly one the best troll songs ever. country sounding guys making fun of a country stereotype. classic :)

I'm from Australia. A 1st nation Elder. Good music. Love the banjo. We are saving our forest atm. Loving every bit ay

As a banjo enthusiast from Australia this song is awesome loved it for years!!!!

People don’t understand parody/satire. It’s a great song

Coolest banjo riff I've ever heard. And I'm a bluegrass fan. He's so young too! Wow what a talent

The best is yet to come. Those words really do ring true for these true musicians 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

sound was super intense live. these guys are not just great musicians but great entertainers as well

I found these guys randomly and I just love their sound. The vocals and instrumentals are so unique.

The banjo player it OMG, A rock star regardless of his chosen instrument, Bass man can do anything, vocals wow, they are one a kind. They came to my town, I'm there.

They spoke the truth....that's all.

We get it. In Scotland where many of the kind of tunes originate there dozens of ballads and jigs and….about young folk getting married at the church, which then registered at the registrar and a year later when they have a baby the registrar and sheriff comes because they were unknowingly brother and sister. Very sad tunes indeed.

The absolute best song about incest you've ever heard! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Bae: come over Me: No, I'm busy Bae: I'm secretly your cousin Me: *plays this song as I run out of the house

Sticking to the Bluegrass roots singing about family lovin'. Lol

My uncle daddy loved this song...

Damn can't stop listening to these guys, AWESOME voices, playing and band. Would love to see them live!

I love this banjo❤️❤️❤️ Greetings from Poland 👍🤟

What is this wonderful mix between the voices of singers and melodies, especially the banjo machine

having the confidence to play this ong in the public, let alone not to your fans, but crowd who may have never heard anything else from you is wild.

If you love your cousin, you go to hell. But... At least there you'd be in good company, right? ☺

> Canadians create a band call "The Dead South" > LARP as Southerners > make song about cousin-loving

I've been playing guitar for 20 years but this was the song that inspired me to pick up a banjo God help us all

Love the sound of a banjo. Gives me the chills 2 hear a good banjo player. Dude's voice in top of that? Absolutely perfection

Love their songs but " I guess she's my cousin but she needs some sweet loving anyway " makes me die laughing

Stumbled and found this.... fricken love it. Best artists are stumbled upon

Just the dead south in belfast and what a concert. They ended with this song !!!

The Dead South. REAL ASS MUSIC! And humor at the same time. Lol

I may be the last of 17M to discover these guys but I’m sure glad I did. Fantastic...and Canadian 🇨🇦

I love these guys. it's that gravelly voice and the banjo.

People from Monterrey, Mexico love this song 😂

Love the lyric part : don’t you know to not kiss and tell, mother said she’s my brothers daughter, and i don’t even know who’s my father.

I’m infected, I cannot get these songs out of my head and have to listen. Keep it up!!!

Thats a strong guy right there to hold that big ass bass for shows like that

Came for the cousin loving, stayed for the music.

Roll Tide vibes are strong with this one.

My family over hears the chorus. Me: "Look it's a joke. It... it must be a joke. It's GOTTA be a joke. Please be a joke."

This makes me wanna get back in touch with my cousin. We used to hang out as kids.

I can not understand how anyone can put a negative to music, any music played by anyone. There is not a single justified negative.

Some comment on another video described this guys voice as broken glass and honey and that just perfectly describes it.

Saskatchewan gave us The Dead South and Colter Wall. Thank you!

I'm so happy you all are sharing your beautiful talents and souls with us. Thank you. Peace.

one of the best videos/songs i ever laid my eyes on and im about to be 57

these guys are the real country deal.

You guys just won over a new fan. especially for this song. From Tennessee.

I try to sneak this onto playlists every chance I get. I have one aunt in particular that I've gotten at least 2 dozen times at family functions.

cannot wait to see these guys down here in january

This reminds me of my grandpa when he played the bandjo. He also played the fiddle, and guitar along with a mouth harp, he passed his guitar picking skills to me. He was born and raised in Missouri he was a southern man
