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.
@Blake Gross 🌬️🤭☔😆 Hahahaha! That's my #1 favorite! Not this song, "spat my drink across the room"! Woo hoo! Get those divorce papers out of the way & grab a towel! I was watching (for the first time ever) Russell Brand's "Ponderland: Family" on TH-cam w/my laptop on the coffee table & literally had to clean the living room after trying to destroy my laptop 4X while my lunch got cold & soggy! Thanks for the memories...I'm gonna try to find it and watch it again now!☔🤣🤣
@marvinthemaniac7698 ah so that's why he plays it like a guitar. It's so weird, a song called banjo odyssey and yet the banjo player doesn’t even play the banjo properly, or particularly well.
When u got a cousin. For a dime piece. Take that ride out to the sea and just let it be. If the baby comes out with an amish hat and beard and you hear wait theres anotherone and it's a banjo. The kid ain't my son isnt gonna fly.
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.
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 TH-cam on repeat since Tuesday.
Shawn Stevens it’s so good it just sucks that the storyline is so messed up, anyone who finds out you listen to it probably thinks that you are incest. It’s depressing
This is 100% what happened to me! Love Bluegrass, stumbled onto In Hell I'll Be Good Company, now I can't stop singing Banjo Odyssey! All I can say is wish I had better looking cousins 😆
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.
Might could check out Mean Mary's original tune, "Iron Horse" -- she plays what she calls "fast banjo;" not too shabby at all imho: th-cam.com/video/6CNB5OLUPM0/w-d-xo.html (disclosure: I shill / sockpuppet for nobody; just a fan)
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!!
Lol, as a musician it’s not that hard to do actually. 9/10 your tapping your foot along with the rhythm anyway. So you might as well get some bass out of it. Lol my boy has a suitcase drum
cyhn santos Rip our culture? No. Also, the cousin loving thing is all Alabama. America has so much incest in the south. I’m american, I know the stereotypes of each state. They write bluegrass better than folks born in Kentucky that do bluegrass.
THAT caught you off guard? The entire song is about him kidnapping and raping his cousin... "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?" " 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"
Do you realise the elites all marry their cousins: Eleanor Roosevelt, 1st cousin to Teddy. Queen Elizabeth, first cousin to Phillip. There are many more - do your own homework. This is why most of our leaders are insane. They are all inbred since ancient Egypt times.
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.💝
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!
Saw these guys at the Warfield in San Francisco last week. Such a great live act; just super solid. This was the last song played from their encore. Has always been my favorite song, but live?? Oh man, its really the only way to hear it!
I watched them in London last Friday! Ended with this song!! How amazing are they!!! Loved being around people who appreciated their music as much as me;)
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❤❤❤❤
There are two Facebook fan pages: Good Company, the Official Fan Club, and Honey You, the Unofficial Fan Club. Both have members from all over the world, and musical tastes run from punk to folk to Americana to metal, but we all love TDS. It's not your grandma's bluegrass!
me too, my cousin is a sweet girl who is 1 year older than me, and we do not talk much, but we exchange looks, I think I still have a chance, and this holiday season I'm going to try to spend some time with her
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
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.
@@woo-sahbodyworks5859 It could be, it is all subjective art.

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.
First time I saw them live was this year in Munster (Germany) and they really gave me the goose 👌🏼👍🏼🤗🤗🤗!!!! It's a pleasure to see them perform on stage...having fun and just a jolly good time😂😂. Bluegrass, banjo and strings forever 😁😁😁😁👍🏼
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.
It doesn’t matter where it comes from to be country. Lots of country folk come out of the canada america border like Montana. It’s the northern CITIES that we call yankee
I think the main reason anyone hates a specific genre is cause most of that genre that's popular is shitty music. The good stuff doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Like as far as country goes, for instance, one of the best artists many ain't heard of is Chris Knight. Check his song Going Down the River. It's metal as fuck, but it's real country.
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 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.
I saw them this past November.. my new favorite band. Thank God there's still bands with actual musicians that play actual instruments in this era of plastic, disposable pop shit.
When you listen to 111s early label stuff, then you listen to this album, it's Hank Jr all over. Breaking free from the corporate crap he really puts it out on Straight to Hell. 4 generations still in play... priceless
Wow absolutely amazing guys. No words to describe how awesome your music makes my ears feel but I randomly came across The Dead South and so glad I did.

Thank you Canada for keeping Bluegrass, string music, and the banjo alive. You make us Kentuckians happy.
Stephen Panda no bull shit! making KY proud!!
lol seen these guys at the horseshoe lounge what a show they put on great Canadian band
Us hillbillies here in WV love it too!
Canada is a bastion of good music... they just hog it all....
I'm KIDDING!
Regina's own...
Stephen Panda laurel co. here.
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.
'Not bad..?' More like bloody fab.
its always satisfying seeing amazing artists getting the light they deserve
It's on the jukebox at the bar I work at also. So happy it have that bit of sanity when I need it.
Edited to add I'm in jefferson city missouri.
Saw them in Los Angle-ese when they swung by in 2019, one of the best live shows I’ve seen. Good thing I like whiskey and string bands.
And they're still sweet lovin on their cousin
Spat my drink across the room when the chorus started. Worth it. Love these guys.

I could see the restraining order violation. Your honor brothers and sisters fuck in the south. Im here for a cousin. That's distant relative.
It's fine,she deserves some good lovin anyway... people just haters
..lmao😂😅
I love the banjo in this song this dude has got some serious talent
He’s a metal head. Colten “craw-daddy” Crawford.
@Luci-rv1hl he was the lead guitarist of a short-lived metal band before he picked up the banjo.

Do you...also love your cousin? Like...LOVE love?
Same her lol
Her: "I love you, but like a cousin."
Me: *plays this song*
*Outstanding Move*

exactly I'm like what in the sweet home alabama did he just say

I think he didn’t know his dad so I guess they found out later that it was his cousin lol the closer kin the deeper in
Tbh most of the videos are recorded live anyway

Came for the bluegrass
Stayed for the cousin loving.
Most underated comment.
Dude. Thats gold!

Everyone always be jamming to the beat then the look on peoples faces when that chorus drops, PRICELESS.
Abraham Hands lol thats true, heard this song a few times never really listend to the lyrics
cool
Sorry
Lmao 😂😂😂 right. I was legit looking at the same exact thing
Abraham Hands no shit right lmfao
As a southerner i'm insulted, as a musician i'm inspired.
As a Northerner, and merely a fan without any musical talent other than I know what I Love....I love this!!!!!!✌️😊
You forgot to add ... and as a southerner, I’m also horny for what’s down yon holler.
What if I told you in Canada Cousin marriage is technically legal but not commonly practiced.
🤣🤣
The best insults are true.......
The Dead South is so addictive, and that originality engulfs the musical senses.
you my friend refer to your sister as lover
I dont know about originality
This is more of a throwback and hommage to folk music, can't really call it original, but its well performed!
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.
This is great, but the banjo in Hold On by Sons of the East is more catchy in my opinion.

The banjo player is originally a metal guitarist. That is why he rocks!
Look up Jayke Orvis. You're gonna like it.
twiztid brain killer In the passage toward the end, I thought the interplay between banjo and cello was just fucking brilliant!
You know what, they sold me. I'm gonna go score with my cousin.
Yeehaw
She's pretty good... I mean, even your Dad agrees.
Go for it cowboy
Your way too impressionable😂
The comment section STILL makes me laugh! The comments didn’t disappoint back when they dropped this song, & they don’t disappoint today!!
From the very moment i saw him i decided the banjo player is the coolest looking bloke I've ever seen

YOU'RE. NOT. ALONE.
Same lmfao
Lol that's great
This comment section has thoroughly entertained
'Cousin Lovin' today, with casually random interactions rampant, far more likelihood she has no, to little DNA relationship.. ;)

I love the hard beat in this song - I’m not sure why it’s bringing moods of ‘jolene’ to me but it has that deep, back woods beat that is timeless
The Dead South that I came for and stayed for the sweet loving tunes
This band is like a drug: can't get enough of this good good.
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.
How is it that it took a group of Canadians to get me into folk/bluegrass? I love this!

It's a pleasure to see them perform on stage...having fun and just a jolly good time😂😂. Bluegrass, banjo and strings forever 😁😁😁😁👍🏼
Beatrice Klein They come back to münster in april or mai 17, see
you there
I've listened to this song like literally 10x in a row... and I still don't understand why the music stops in the first place.
I saw banjo odyssey and thought it'd be an interesting song.
I'm not fucking disappointed.
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.
People are tired of deadbeat pop, I can't blame them.
It doesn’t matter where it comes from to be country. Lots of country folk come out of the canada america border like Montana. It’s the northern CITIES that we call yankee
Never left
I think the main reason anyone hates a specific genre is cause most of that genre that's popular is shitty music. The good stuff doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Like as far as country goes, for instance, one of the best artists many ain't heard of is Chris Knight. Check his song Going Down the River. It's metal as fuck, but it's real country.
Well said! 👏
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 look on the guy's face when the line hits has me in stitches! 😱
I like how they take their music seriously but not themselves so much.
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
That's very average banjo.
Love their songs but " I guess she's my cousin but she needs some sweet loving anyway " makes me die laughing
The "I just want liquor and dirty whores" in bastard son also gets me every time. Particularly when I whistle it at work.
J Q do you want to be my cousin
trollin was never done so beautifully
I just got to that part, and damn near fell out om chair..
Totally agree
Some comment on another video described this guys voice as broken glass and honey and that just perfectly describes it.
"She's my cousin, but she needs some sweet lovin anyway". Wow ... I think this is my new favorite band.
Cousins are just for practice right?
@@JohnJohn-wo3vz Yes, you are correct.
@@JohnJohn-wo3vz
Lol
Derek Allen Hallelujah!
Kinda catchy...
Massive talent... what's odd is you can't get any personality from them in the videos. Love this band... good ole hometown group. Go guys!
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."
It is, don't worry! They made a statement on Facebook about it being satire
Just tell them what it's actually about. It's about a dude who abducts, rapes, and then murder/suicides his cousin.
Naw it aint no joke
@@dakotakade3547 No it isn't you liberal 😂
@@dakotakade3547 .......wtf is wrong with you?
Played this in the hospital for my first child's birth...my baby momma/cousin loved it! Thank you! We named our son Cletus!
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.
It's a cello, not a bass. Basses are bigger my boyfriend plays a smaller version of a standing and it's double this size
I saw them this past November.. my new favorite band. Thank God there's still bands with actual musicians that play actual instruments in this era of plastic, disposable pop shit.
You guys are awesome. We still just LOVE "Banjo Dude"
this song will break the floor again at the encore theatre in Sydney in 2023!!!!!!!!!
I knew what this song was about the first time I heard - All my metal friends love this stuff 🤘
I'm addicted to this band now. Happenstance of TH-cam and underground rap is what I listen to.
Big fan guys
Someone dared me to listen to this with someone around me and I went all out, full volume next to my parents. Big fucking mistake 😭😭
I'm sorry to hear that 🫖 are you familiar with Bridge City Sinners ? Start with "Ashes."
When you listen to 111s early label stuff, then you listen to this album, it's Hank Jr all over. Breaking free from the corporate crap he really puts it out on Straight to Hell. 4 generations still in play... priceless
You are the most authentic, real musicians playing the best music I have hear in a long time. I am binge watching you all today.
Wow absolutely amazing guys. No words to describe how awesome your music makes my ears feel but I randomly came across The Dead South and so glad I did.
Came for the cousin loving, stayed for the music.
These guys play these songs so effortlessly it boggles my mind
