The Dead South share a string-laced take on “Will The Circle Be Unbroken,” with banjo and mandolin twined around sparse cello and forlorn baritone vocals. The new cover is found on Easy Listening for Jerks Part 1, half of a forthcoming double EP set that travels from nitty gritty Nashville to west coast weird and back again, putting The Dead South’s renegade acoustic approach to classics of two very different sorts.

The Dead South have previewed the forthcoming companion project with material from both EPs, including “People Are Strange” complete with banjo-UFO earthling abduction video, and the stark and desperate rendition of “You Are My Sunshine.”
The Dead South continue to roll out Served Cold tour dates, with a new spring run produced by Live Nation on sale today at TheDeadSouth.com/Tour. See details below.
