I've never heard of these guys and this made me want to buy every album they have. So good. When the harmonies came in, I almost cried it was so good. Like a good meal with all the right ingredients. I wanna start a bluegrass band now and cover non bluegrass songs. Is it just me?
For what it's worth, I didn't find anything particularly wrong with the camera style. I wouldn't say it's my favorite but I have no idea why everyone is losing their minds over it, just enjoy the awesome music.
Holy hell - adjust the audio levels for your videos. The intro/outro blast so much louder than the rest of the content. I can't babysit a playlist of these at work. This cover is interesting. I dig it.
So I've watched a few of these AV videos of bands covering songs. Now a common theme is the more "pop" bands fucking butcher every song they do. Yet when you get to these blue grass/country they actually put forth the effort in the music. Completely under rated.
I (probably unreasonably) feel like a disproportionate number of these videos are country bumpkin banjo bands covering post 2000 rock bands. I'm running on a platform of banning checked shirts, dungarees and banjos for Undercover 2017.
There will always be a special place in my heart for bluegrass musicians who cover non-bluegrass music...loved this!
Check out when the Punch Brothers covered Reptilia by the Strokes if you haven't already! Phenomenal cover!
+Keri Ann theres also the cars song that is really good
That was really good. I've been a huge fan of The Killers since Hot Fuss and this did justice. Holy moly...
Great job boys! Love seeing these guys in concert. Amazing musicians they are!
I love bluegrass covers. Great song.
I've been waiting in anticipation for one of the bands to choose this song from the list and I was not disappointed.
BEST THING I EVER LISTENED TO IN MY WHOLE LIFE
Well. This is a perfect bluegrass song. Don't know how I never saw it before now, but it is. Can't stop smiling at this.
goosebumbs...pure talent
Very well done. I saw this song was on the list, loved the song, these guys did it justice.
These guys are insane live. They're all ridiculously good musicians but the fiddle player will literally melt your face off.
"People seem to not really like our intros. so lets make a new one and MAKE IT EVEN WORSE."
This was fantastic! Well done!
This is wonderful
this works really well.
chyeauhhhh nice one boys this is one of my favorite numbers from childhood!

Damn this was fantastic... I'm not a bluegrass fan, but there's something about this.
omg i'm in luuuv
I had listen to the original again, this came out great
It's so not fair that he has that voice and those blue eyes! Oh and he plays the dobro like Jerry Douglas! Come on
One of the best this season so far. But then I mostly just listened and didn't watch the annoying camera work.
Best cover so far this season
God damn this is good!
Wow that was awesome!!
This cover is guaranteed to medal. Sorry, guys, I have low grade Olympic fever.
So great!!!! [:
This is the first bearable cover this season that I've seen so far...
For what it's worth, I didn't find anything particularly wrong with the camera style. I wouldn't say it's my favorite but I have no idea why everyone is losing their minds over it, just enjoy the awesome music.

genial!!!
Love this but AV Club, you guys really need to turn down the music on your graphic bumps. check your levels.
At least they changed it from the song they used to use and shortened the intro. It's already a huge improvement over past seasons.
Great.

I am not a bluegrass fan at all. this actually was amazingly well done. wish this got many, many more views though
wow
I approve of this.
a rare good AV club cover
woooo!
This is good
What's the intro music?
YEE HAW!!!
The bluegrass ones are always the best.
0:18 *awkwardly stare at the guitarist*
best one I've seen xD
Well it is supposed to be like a Bruce Springsteen song. Not a huge stretch from his oldest work.
Tell the camera guy to chill the fuckout. The music is interesting enough without needing to cut to a crappy handheld shot every 30 seconds
The cover was awesome btw, worked really well
Dani Calle yes, holy shit!
where is GWAR
Yeah and They Might Be Giants
And why aren't they just letting The Punch Brothers cover everything yet?
Can i give a thumbs up for the music and a thumbs down for the nausea inducing camera work?
This guy is Harvey Spector's Memphis alter ego
While I prefer the original, this isn't a bad cover.
Whoever is directing these new Undercover segments is an idiot. Handheld cam nonsense.
Great band, great song, great cover, horrendous camera work
stop with the fake camcorder...
steel guitaah

bobthegrinch wayyyyyy over there is where you take that bullshit.
bobthegrinch only joking. The indie folk/Americana groups have sort of taken over lately. Bring GWAR back.
As has been said, the handheld 60fps shot sucks. No need
Yeehaa!! Squeal like a pig boy!
i adore the undercover series... but this intro music is loud and terrible. very off-putting.
I never thought this song could be made worse. Couldn't even finish this crap. Such a joke. Used to love this series, this one is garbage.
Is there any music or just a spew of nonsense? This sucks.
