GET TO KNOW THE DEAD SOUTH.
Regina quartet The Dead South gives acoustic instrumentation the impact of a hard-driving band. Banjo, cello, guitar and close vocal parts create a sound that draws on bluegrass without observing every convention of that tradition. Good Company introduced the widely heard In Hell I’ll Be in Good Company, while later records show a group interested in unsettling stories and sharply contrasted musical moods.
The sound depends on percussive string playing, low cello lines and gritty vocals. Familiar acoustic instruments produce tension and momentum rather than only a gentle folk atmosphere.
