They're from Regina, Saskatchewan. The CPR mentioned in the song is the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Hey Michael ! Thanks for covering this band from my home Province of Saskatchewan. I've been on tour w these guys as a photographer, nice guys.

From Regina Saskatchewan Canada, Had the pleasure to play shows with them. Super cool guys to hang with.

hell yea! Makes a fella proud to be from Sask with great artists such as these fellas.

Dead south truly have a unique sound.

"CPR man" being Canadian Pacific Railroad, presumably about the *Canadian west ;-)

These guys are from Saskatchewan Canada, Had the pleasure of seeing them live a few times, they don't disappoint

Thanks for playing this! I'm a Dead South fan! (I too am a Canadian).

Fun fact though I’m sure it’s been voiced, The Dead South are from Saskatchewan, just like colter wall! So happy you checked em! Gotta check banjo odyssey and the massacre of el kuroke!

If you haven't already, check out a couple of their other songs like Banjo Odyssey, which is hilarious if you listen to the lyrics. Also the song, In hell I'll be in good company. Great band!

The Dead South (oddly from Canada) are one of my favorite Bluegrass groups. Always an amazing style.

They have a lot of great humorous tunes.

The Dead South are incredible! I've been pickin out so many of their songs lately. They understand the darkness feel that I love in bluegrass.

The Dead South are fantastic! I've seen them twice in person, the last time was at First Ave. in Minneapolis. They're a great show.

Ahhh, and there it is - another treat as my fave KZfaq music teachers videos of their reaction to The Dead South's eclectic bluegrass genre, phenom wonders. Watching and listening to these videos certainly do make my week 😘🌌🤟🎶🤗❣️

I remember a quote from Chet Atkins when asked by a studio musician what should I play here he said usually the melody will do.

Yessir!! Dead with is one of my favorite bands ever. You should check out many more of their songs

More dead south!!! Going to see them next month Banjo odyssey is a fan fav

Those damn Canadians! Canada keeps producing great music and musicians.

Love your energy, thanks for all the work you are sharing !

Just wanted to say - as a non-musician who came here following The Dead South breadcrumbs- you were so lucid and insightful that even with no musical training I was able to follow and appreciate exactly what you were saying and was Hella impressed. Subscribed and looking forward to diving into your content. ... now I have to buy a frigging guitar damnit!

I saw them two weeks ago live in Münster and Amsterdam. They are awesome live. Met them after the shows and they're incredibly nice people.

Thank you Jesus for Dead South

Love these guys! I've worked with the singers best friend and the friends dad, although I've been a fan since before I knew em. They're awesome

Stretching fingers on this cold morning.

The best way to learn something is to teach it. Students will ask questions you never thought of and you'll both be better for it.

The dead south is an amazing band! You should definitely check out more of their songs! A personal favorite of mine is Massacre of El Kuroke or Diamond Ring

This is one of my favorite bands. About a year ago I sat down and figured this one out on the mandolin. Great tune!!

We discovered this band a few years ago. Really love this style - somewhat unique with lots of influences.

Amazing how the right three notes can be so memorable - that E, G, A walk in has been in my head for two weeks since I first heard this - right here on Guitargate. Absolutely my favorite song I heard this year. Also Michael great to hear you reinforce melody. Heard the GOAT Tommy Emmanuel saying the same think in his interview with Rick Beato.

that billy strings cap is money!

About time sir, ive been suggesting these guys for 2 years, they have some great tunes, great live, and cool guys to boot, well the 2 ive hung out with.

Love you back. 💕 They are so good. Thanks for explaining WHY. 💕🙋🎶

Great band, great song

This is the exact reason there shouldn’t be copyright strikes or what ever Bs you great people have to fight. You just introduced me to yet another song I’ve not heard and may not of if it wasn’t for you. Cheers

LOVE YA WORK MATE

Saw them live last night. They blew the f***ing roof off.

Love it Michael (and the Billy Strings hat). I wasn’t familiar with this band but love them! Guitargate is like a grad school version of Spotify for discovering new music . Dead South remind me a lot of Robert Earl Keane or if Los Lobos & Mumford and sons had a baby…..😊

Canadian history. "CPR man" in the lyrics stands for Canadian Pacific Railway

El karaoke or Boots. Honestly anything by them is so good. I hate radio country but love bluegrass country or the country you only here in small bars

Saw these guys live. for those interested check out "into the Valley" or "gunslingers glory." Get you in the feels. Or if you like that you could check out the band "Heavy Horses" You'll thank me later.

I thought I was the only one who noticed the bum note right at 😅the end and the acknowledgement of the bangee player😅

Yet another killer Canadian band! 🇨🇦😎

Love these guys. Been following them for a couple of years. Give a listen to Rhiannon Giddens Spanish Mary on Austin City Limits.

The group is out of Regina Saskatchewan in Canada, they are almost anti-blue grass. Watched them live in January, fantastic players, all of them

love it ;))

Mornin Mike!

If you haven't heard Zach Bryan's song 'Open the Gate', I would very highly recommend. It's an incredible storytelling song

On the VERY odd chance you will EVER see this remark - while you get thousands of them... Please check out Lucas Brar Nirvana guitar cover on KZfaq. He's insane. He is one of the best guitarists on the platform.

I took a long break from these guys after initially liking but then getting sick of the first 2 albums. Glad to see that they're kept the theme, but developed it and branched out.

Sorry Michael you mention American history but I just had to jump in here. It could be American history but they are from Saskatchewan same province (state) as Colter Wall and talk about the CPR which is the Canadian Pacific Railway and then the Yukon gold rush. Again Sorry to correct you. Great video you did here though.

Boots, is a good one by them as well

434k 😮 🎉

My son's band!!!!

I'm thinking it's time for me to learn how to play guitar. I hope someday you will do Tamacun by Gabriela and Rodrigo, just so I can understand the technical side of what they do that awakens my soul.

Mike... I have gone thru a years worth of videos and I can't see you giving a lesson on the blue grass band A J Lee and Blue Summit. Give them a look and pick a song that you feel like we could learn from.

Can you react/analyze the play through for String Theory by Intervals? Thanks! Enjoy your videos.

Check out their cover of the Doors "People Are Strange." Humorous video.

Can you react to 'Ren - Violets Tale' you've heard him before in The Big Push but his solo stuff is even better!

We’re all waiting for you to react to any Alip Ba Ta video 🙏💕

An off-subject suggestion: "Satisfaction Guaranteed" by The Firm

You should really really check out "In Hell I be in good company" with the same band. A song with a story, couple of details in the lyrics, basic but great banjo playing and vocals harmonic thats one of a kind. I've been watching you and would love to see your reaction on that song. From one guitar player to another. Have a good one, stay safe and marry christmas and happy new year 🥳

CPR man....Canadian Pacific Railroad. "Wadena's Pride" Wadena Saskatchewan. I doubt he had a gun, the band is from Regina Saskatchewan.

PS: you cannot just hear The Dead South's smooth bluegrass and not be pulled on over to bluegrass conversion, unless you're dead inside, lol 🤩❣️

Hmmm, well thanks for that explanation. I have played music for probably 20 years now and never learned theory really at all. Taught myself drums, guitar and piano. Just really listening to music and trying to understand what it is they are doing I guess.

Now - meshuggah. Bleed or Clockworks.

Check out "Stick Season" by Noah Kahan.

Do yourself a favor and check out "Away from the mire" by Billy Strings (I know you're a Billy fan). If you haven't heard it, experiencing this song for the first time is a borderline religious experience. The kid is SO good. >>> Live version: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adhooNikt5aVkac.html

I love the Dead South, In hell I'll be in good company

please react to keith urban the devil went down to nashville

Read Southall Band please!!

PLEASE CAN YOU REACT TO THAT FUNNY FEELING BY BO BURNHAM I THINK YOU'LL REALLY LIKE IT

I hear what your saying, but let me ask you; should I learn the melody?

I always wanted to learn guitar... But I'm missing my pinky and it's too difficult to figure out. So I learned chainsaws instead.

Channeling Jerry

Question : is theory important or no?

kinda colter wall sound

Yup. Let's assume a Canadian band is painting a picture of American history.

I can't get imagine a more insulting band name.

Frigging react to it, not join in! 😡
