The best rendition of "O Death" on the Internet. Haunting in both vocals and instrumentals. This is what talent is all about, even the taking of the macabre and making it touch the soul.
I've always loved this song. I was lucky enough to have Rising Appalachia play it on request from my birthday. As much as I love them, I like your version more.
something about watching you create music is so sensual..i dont mean that in a creepy way i mean just the way you create your songs and piece it all together and your voice is just damn lovely..not everyone can move your soul and heart and mind with just a song....i may forget about you for awhile but i always come back to your music and am just as amazed as i was the first time i heard it
You are the most talented young woman I have ever had the privilege of opening my ears up to. I've never seen anyone play a banjo with a fiddle bow (White Noise). Impressive work, missus. Please never stop. It puts the biggest smile upon my face.
Can this please be on the Game of Thrones soundtrack, or at least in a future trailer for a new season?! This song and the style in which Lauren performs it would fit so perfectly with the storyline of Game of Thrones. Anyone else agree?
Amazing! The verse starting at 2:06 comes through SO strong. I LOVE it. My only suggestion would be to gradually ramp up the backup vocals over the last 30 seconds before cutting out with that final chilling note.
Ugh, why didn't the creators of Until Dawn pick you up? Their version is horrible! I literally searched for versions of this song that does a better job than the game and everything I've found so far HAS been better, but your version blows all others out of the water.
That's her charm; you always get a nice surprise when she changes direction, kinda like catching a sharp breeze on a tight tack, but she never leaves in you in irons.
Just told my father to watch this... He came back to me after and said "Yeah... Not too bad...". He had stars in his eyes and his face was priceless. My whole family is fond of you ! xD
First came about you when I was listening to house of the rising sun which is a song that has always been important to me . I loved your cover and love your voice . I now love listening to your variety of songs which always evokes some sort of emotion and reaction within me. I will keep on listening ...thank you..✌️😊
I have watched this no less than 15 times and I force all my friends on Facebook to watch it as well just so they can see what REAL talent and artistry is.
This arranged is something else .Keeps the same eeriness of the song but feels totally hers.Came across this when listening to Dock Boggs .its a crime i never came across her before but I'll certainly be viewing her music.Love that she plays the different instruments
So, 11 years ago, a friend of mine introduced me to this piece from Lauren. Sadly, he was passed away last year. I dunno why I am sharing this. I guess I just miss him.
It is happening again! A distinct, amazing voice, a deep feeling, an elaborated arrangement and a refined instrumental technique joined together in an outstanding performance. A new star is born.
What a beautiful version of this song. Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice and talent. A powerful rendition of this traditional song filled with so much atmosphere.
I've come back to this many times over the last decade. It's my favourite version by far. Superb musician. Thank you.
This chick rocks. Found her from some video about Congolese mercenaries and all her stuff is just awesome!
Same as you guys. Rhoadies rules!
Ah yes, Roland was a warrior
The same
Roland!
Knee deep in gore.
This one always stays in my mind, ten years later even.
I was about to comment just that ! Same feeling
12 years now and still stands true for me as well.
after all this years i like this version to much, it's my favorite, thanks to much for give us this jewel
The best rendition of "O Death" on the Internet. Haunting in both vocals and instrumentals. This is what talent is all about, even the taking of the macabre and making it touch the soul.
Have not watched this in years. Glad I found it again
It's quite awsome that she can play all those insrtuments so well and sing with such authority. Well done. Two thumbs up Lauren!
This is really something. The drumming gives me chills.
I've always loved this song. I was lucky enough to have Rising Appalachia play it on request from my birthday. As much as I love them, I like your version more.
This is THE BEST version of the song on RUclips!!!Well Done Girl!You are freaking AWESOME!!!
Am I the only one on RUclips trying NOT to favorite every one of Lauren's videos ?? She's amazing !
This is hands down my favorite version of this song. If the version we're commissioning for our show is half this good I will be very happy.
I've had this in my head for 11 years
goddamn
This is the best version of this song that I ever heard.
My Grandfather used to sing thing song when I was just a pup. Hearing it now brings back such memories. Thank you.
I love this Lauren! Great Great Great Great Great!!! keep coming back to listen and watch again...love it!
something about watching you create music is so sensual..i dont mean that in a creepy way i mean just the way you create your songs and piece it all together and your voice is just damn lovely..not everyone can move your soul and heart and mind with just a song....i may forget about you for awhile but i always come back to your music and am just as amazed as i was the first time i heard it
She is truly unique and has remarkable talent.
Na, that's not creepy bro... I'd hit it and she's a great singer.
you have amazing talent i hope you go far
Love this, I can't stop listening to it! :) Great job.
You are the most talented young woman I have ever had the privilege of opening my ears up to. I've never seen anyone play a banjo with a fiddle bow (White Noise). Impressive work, missus. Please never stop. It puts the biggest smile upon my face.
That's talent.....and a looker!
And finally - after 6 years - this video isn't blocked in Germany anymore. RUclips signed a licensing fee deal with GEMA.
A masterful composition. Someone give this girl 1.2 million subscribers.
Honestly this is still my favorite take on this song. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
This is really good. Maybe it's because I love O' brother I feel like this is underrated.
Can this please be on the Game of Thrones soundtrack, or at least in a future trailer for a new season?! This song and the style in which Lauren performs it would fit so perfectly with the storyline of Game of Thrones. Anyone else agree?
I had to think of Vikings. Would fit there also.
No, I don't agree at all with you. It sounds nothing medieval and, while awesome, it certainly doesn't belong to any of those shows.
A bow across an acoustic AND an electric guitar! Well done!
This gives me goosebumps, head to toe. Beautiful work!
If I heard this on the radio, I would shout : "OOOH This is the song that I like!" and turn it louder!
ooh someone thats done the full lyrics rather than just copying the more popular covers
This is amazingly awesome. Great work!
Her voice gives me goosebumps, and the style she has picked to do for this song is perfect!!
Amazing! The verse starting at 2:06 comes through SO strong. I LOVE it. My only suggestion would be to gradually ramp up the backup vocals over the last 30 seconds before cutting out with that final chilling note.
This makes me want to get ready for a Gun Fight.
You wouldn't win against "Ol Death", fastest gunfighter ever been. Been here since the beginning, and will outfight the rest of the world, lol.
You are 'the' definition of musician. Please just keep doing your thing.
2 days to shoot all the bits.2 days to edit=ONE SWEET SWEET experience.thank you Lauren.
Ugh, why didn't the creators of Until Dawn pick you up? Their version is horrible! I literally searched for versions of this song that does a better job than the game and everything I've found so far HAS been better, but your version blows all others out of the water.
duckiezz check out Ralph Stanley's version and tell me what you think
She always looks like she's unsure about something when she's singing
That's her charm; you always get a nice surprise when she changes direction, kinda like catching a sharp breeze on a tight tack, but she never leaves in you in irons.
She looks like she really concentrating to me
I'm not knocking Ralph Stanley, but this is the best version of O' Death I've ever heard! Lauren you have done an incredible job!
What a display of talent. Thanks for this.
Many years passd and im still coming back to this song...
Just told my father to watch this... He came back to me after and said "Yeah... Not too bad...". He had stars in his eyes and his face was priceless. My whole family is fond of you ! xD
Talk about multitalented. Really amazing work with this song. Really, really awesome.
why I always keep coming back to this vid.. Simply just full of pure awesomeness?
Awesome. Love you Lauren.
Oh my God this is amazing! Chills.
I love this SO much. Can't stop listening to it!
First came about you when I was listening to house of the rising sun which is a song that has always been important to me . I loved your cover and love your voice .

Absolutely wonderful rendition. Best I've heard ....
Wonderful! never realised how fun this haunting song can be to play.
Talk about talent... Honey you are going places...can't wait to see what the future brings for you!
This song is an expression of something older and deeper than the language we have to express it. It's good to see it treated with such care.
this is an amazing rendition of a great song, great styling!
This is excellent,....moody....powerful and i love the Banjo solo! great job!
Just extraordinarily wonderful. I love it.
Good god this young lady is brilliant!
Incredible. Just incredible. That woman has talent to spare.
This is so good. I watch it at least once a week.
Fascinating instrumentation. Just wonderful.
Nicely done, I don't even miss any Southern twang. You owned this one!
I just stumbled across this and it's my favorite version now.
Wow!! That 'bout sums it up. Your vocals, your musicianship, blow me away. The video is fantastic too!!
You are fantastically talented individual..a beautiful song and amazing performance.
i had to go pretty far down the search results to find a version with music and vocals and full lyrics, so thank you
I couldn't stop watching her sing. Normal I tab out when I listen to music on RUclips but I couldn't stop watching her mouth. It was mesmerizing.
That was an awesome rendition pure genious, Loved It!!!

Beautiful way to make it your own. Very fresh! Also loved the choice of presentation. Interesting to see you putting it all together. Bravo!

So, 11 years ago, a friend of mine introduced me to this piece from Lauren. Sadly, he was passed away last year. I dunno why I am sharing this. I guess I just miss him.
One person everything. Musician, singer, sound-engineer.
All this goes on in her head!! AMAZING!!
Absolutely beautiful. You have a fantastic voice. I'm jealous of your musical talents.
It is happening again! A distinct, amazing voice, a deep feeling, an elaborated arrangement and a refined instrumental technique joined together in an outstanding performance. A new star is born.
Chilling. stunningly beautiful cover.
Absolutely delicious!
