    I am from the Appalachian highlands, the original source of this song; I have literally heard it all my life. This is one of the most original and impressive interpretations I have ever heard. The throat singing gives Death a creepy vibe that is unique and wonderful. Together with the straight singing, it is astonishing. Kudos!

    It's been several years since I heard this song... and this rendition. I came back today because it is the absolute best version of "Oh Death" I've ever heard. Both of the brothers do an excellent job and capture the soul of both characters: Death - and a man longing for just one more year of life.

    I don't know why people are complaining about the throat singing....I have heard this style many times, and while it is inspired by Tuvan throat singing, it is not exactly Tuvan throat singing. I thought that it was wonderful to see such young people playing and singing this style of music...

    • @randalclarke5487
      @randalclarke5487 3 года назад

      I believe, as a musician and musicologist, the relative "complaints" may stem from the so- called "false claim" of throat singing. This is not throat singing, its more like a Heavy Metal style of singing, so to claim it as Tuvan throat singing is a false claim, and in today's negative environment, someone is going to get miffed, unfortunately. Personally, I thought it was a good rendition, essentially almost ruined by the faux throat singing. It could have been a great version without that.

      One clue would be if you listen to Dock Boggs' versions, both the 20s version and the one 40 years later. Dock had a voice like a buzz saw. But Dock never sang with sigit, that high whistling harmonic singing Kyle does briefly.
