I'd kill to see this band play at a show, with Amigo, Dead South, Goddamn Gallows, and Devil Makes Three. I'd sell what's left of my soul, for this show. I swear.
I lived in New Orleans for eight years. This song was a daily, if not hourly, play. This is the first rendition I have heard that made it unique. And to be clear, its hard to add to perfection.
Lead singer is so stupidly talented. And that face! She’s so emotive and enchanting to watch. I love her facial expressions. She can tell a story with one look
I could make a conspiracy theorist yarn connected pictures chart to see what brought me here 2 years ago...the final pic in the middle would be Days n Daze the best band in the world
My dad did a cover of this many many years ago. It would be playing on the TV all the time when I was a kid. The other day I showed my nephew and showed him I could play it, my mom heard about it and got upset she doesnt like me bringing him up I usually gotta keep it on the down low. This really made me miss my dad.
I’m sorry you feel like you can’t bring your dad up. 🥺 I hope you find people and places in your life where your memory sharing is welcomed. May his memory and presence always be a blessing. 🕯️
After rereading your comment, I was assuming he had passed on. But maybe he’s just not present in your life, but still on the planet somewhere. Either way my sentiment is the same.😅💕
The thing i love about this song is that you can listen to 15 artists perform this song and they'll all have slightly different lyrics that tell just slightly different stories. It's wonderful
@@yourlocalpunkposer8107 idk if i could call this punk though, especially when compared to something like days n daze, this is more like murderfolk or southern gothic/americana
It's an OLD jazz song - 1930s?. It was a folk song that became a jazz song - and a guy named Irv Mills (who was Jewish) had publishing rights/writing credits, so the song has come full circle in 100 years. I like "Klezmer" type music and I like jazz, so this is pretty cool. If you took away visuals and "the look" of the band, you'd be hearing elements of dixieland swing jazz played on what has been popularized as "bluegrass" instruments. It sounds right out of the south but this music was Cotton Club & The Savoy before that and probably in the roadhouses before that. IF you didn't see them, would you still be so enamored of this music? I'm asking myself that same question! I know this song and I think it is great that it is reaching a new audience, so I'd say I still like it.
Friggin love this band. This period of this band. Libby Lux is an amazing vocalist and has such a sincerity to her music. I wish they'd have held on to this sound over the years.
I listened to them after finding them accidentally while looking for a different version of song of the sirens. I haven't stopped listening to them since this afternoon. Adding as many as I could my playlist. This has to be my personal favorite. But of course I love the original cartoon Betty boop cab Calloway original. This just takes it to another level. they remind me of one of my favorite bands from my youth. Squirrel nut zippers from the '90s. If they had a very very naughty side. This song specifically reminds me of Blue Angel, Katherine Whalen's voice is one of a goddess. Just like her here.... AMAZING cover. Everyone involved is so so talented.
So thankful for people that don't follow the crowd and play the same old crap that is considered to be acceptable music, I mean there's some good music out there but love this style of music it fuels my soul, loved it, if you ever come to Springfield Missouri I'll be there, please don't ever quit the world needs it
I need lyrics! My hearing is terrible, for I have a hard time trying to understand everything she's singing but I just Absolutely adore her voice and I love them! 😍💘
This brought me to tears within the first few seconds. You have so much passion in this video. Thank you for sharing this! I hope you're still doing what you love!
Hey I like a lot of this music! I used to play guitar in a metal style but now I am learning on a banjolele sort of like Libby's but I cannot get the hang of using a pick in this way. Then I tried plectrums on three fingers ( kind of strange in this setting I know) without success. I am sold on claw hammer! That is a lot of fun and it makes me want a bluegrass banjo. My point to any musicians out there is that you should try a broad range of techniques even if you are comfortable where you are.
We are back, sister! They won't listen. Thank you for giving me a place to love, until we are complete. Thank you for keeping the spirit of light alive through, your darkest energies. We bath in your Harmonic Resonance. Oh, praise the Grand Architect! The beauty of life and death, through the second veil. 🌎 😈🖤🤍
oh i love EVERYTHING about this! such a gorgeous, talented singer, amazing instrumental work...my god y'all are amazing 😍 the klezmer vibe after the band kicks in is incredible!
Love you Libby! Cant wait for the new album to drop and to do the radio interview this weekend. Sooo lookin forward to the next hometown show in Portland!
Well, I went down to St. James' Infirmary and I saw my baby there, She was laid out on that long white table, so sweet, so cold, so fair. Well, I went up to see the doctor, "She's feeling very low" he said, Well, I went back to see my baby, and good god, she was lying there dead. So let her go, let her go, God bless her soul. Wherever she may be. She may search this whole wide world over, And never find a motherfucker like me. Well, I went down to Old Joe's Ballroom, On the corner down by the square. They were serving drinks as usual, And all the usual folks were there. Well, to my left stood Old Joe McKennedy, His eyes were bloodshot red. And he turned to the crowd in front of him, And these were the very words that he said. He said, "Let her go, let her go, God bless her soul Wherever she may be. She may search this whole wide world over, And never find a motherfucker like me." So when I die won't you bury me, In my high-top Stetson hat. Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain, So the devil knows I died standing pat. Six gamblers to carry my coffin, With chorus girls to sing me a song. Put a jazz band on the horse wagon, To raise Hell as we roll along. So bring out the rubber tied carridge, Go ahead and bring out the pony and drive. Twelve men going down to that graveyard, Only eleven of them ever coming back. So let her go, let her go, God bless her soul, Wherever she may be. She may search this whole wide world over, And never find a motherfucker like me. So now, they've heard my story, Well, let's buy another round of booze. And if anyone ever should ask you, I got the St. James' Infirmary blues.
yours is definitely the best cover ever of st.james infirmary, and you know how old and covered it is! Best for arrangement, voice, charisma, power and LYRICS! I mean, you are mount Everest and all the other, closed to you, are the damned everglades...

This is a blue standard. She may embellish the lyrics here and there, but 95% of them are accurate to the first result you would find on Google. You put a lot of effort for very little gain.

They're on tour with dayz n dayz. I'm seeing the Baltimore show.
They were just at a festival in Vegas with Amigo. Don't worry, I also missed it XD
Ya add Railyard Ghosts too.
I lived in New Orleans for eight years. This song was a daily, if not hourly, play. This is the first rendition I have heard that made it unique. And to be clear, its hard to add to perfection.

It really is hard, but they managed it! Very well done!
Born n raised, still my fav version I eva heard
Personally this is one of the worst songs I have heard. Especially such a classic
❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is the sound ive been searching for all 25 years of my life
Emily Foster I couldn’t agree more. Like an itch that couldn’t be scratched.
SAMEEEEE
I’m 42 and dancing round the kitchen!
That was dope as fuck
Sad or funny. Both
Lead singer is so stupidly talented. And that face! She’s so emotive and enchanting to watch. I love her facial expressions. She can tell a story with one look
So sad that she turned borderline anorexic later...
What instrument is she playing?
@@Hauntedasylum666looks like a banjolee?
Oh interesting. I've never heard of it before. But that seems accurate. Thanks!@@Olivertwiztd
@@toniheikkila5607 you did not just comment on her body like you have anything to say on that. It's so uncalled for. Leave people tf alone
Devil Makes Three brought me here. Not disappoint!
Shawn Moran Same! Two awesome bands!
@@bogomilstoynov8405 tell me about it guys, never heard anything like this over in Aus
Same
The Goddamn gallows brought me here. All three are great bands
I could make a conspiracy theorist yarn connected pictures chart to see what brought me here 2 years ago...the final pic in the middle would be Days n Daze the best band in the world
Its like Amy Winhouse got possessed by the devil and sat in a pub while Drop Kick Murphy played some tunes . Giving birth to this. I like it
@@jacklydon3511 you're def one of those fellas .

That clarinet has a marvelous klezmer sound! I love it! Punk, old blues/jazz, klezmer and old-timey all blended in a most delightful way!
Yes!
Love an electric clarinet solo
honestly, the clarinet makes this song what it is.
I was literally saying this same thing!
The thing i love about this song is that you can listen to 15 artists perform this song and they'll all have slightly different lyrics that tell just slightly different stories. It's wonderful
Man, Norman Reedus is killin it on bass
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
HAHA
Yes!!!!❤
Starts out bluesy and ends up sounding kinda like Jewish folk music, with a definite edge. I think I like it.
How can you not!?!
*folk punk
@@yourlocalpunkposer8107 idk if i could call this punk though, especially when compared to something like days n daze, this is more like murderfolk or southern gothic/americana
bluesklezmer folk punk might just be my gender lol

The perfect music doesn't exi-
Where has this been all my life?!? RUclips randomly recommended this to me and I instantly fell in love
This is made even more awesome by the fact that it looks like they got Daryl Dixon to play the bass.
Sam porter
No, Daryl Dixon.
I don't know how they did it. But they definitely did.
🤣
found my new favorite band :) ms libby is quite hypnotizing. her voice is so unique
You should see em live! Been to a few but the best was at a hometown show in a small pub in Portland. The whole place was jumpin!!
How is this not all over every "vocal coach reacts" video?
My thought exactly :)
Fear
Please dont lol just leave it here dont send it to anyone let me enjoy it for a little longer before it gets too big
Fuck main stream
I'm trying, we'll see. 😱
My English teacher is her mom! We traded band we liked, I told her to listen to Tyler Cassidy
Too ill
Check out dnd
Also sierra ferrell❤
Your English teacher did real, real good
Surprised your english teacher isnt your music teacher. Sheesh
This will always be one of my all time favorite songs

Definitely the best version of this song I've heard yet
Love this clarinet!
Who doesnt love an electric clarinet solo?
I was shocked i could actually like a clarinet !
All you people trying to compare this band to another, they sound like this or that. They sound like Bridge city Sinners. And you love it.
Love your voice! The band completely kicks some ass!
I need lyrics! My hearing is terrible, for I have a hard time trying to understand everything she's singing but I just Absolutely adore her voice and I love them! 😍💘
its a cover of a jazz, slightly changed lyrics. google it
Louis Armstrong.
Joshua Cooper Cab Calloway
@@vSnooki Awesome! Thank you!! I was only familiar with Louis'. I appreciate it.
Joshua Cooper No problem man
She has the most powerful voice
These guys and The Builders and the Butchers will always remind me of my 5 years in Portland....the soundtrack for my rock bottom
after 2 minutes I bought your album on itunes. excellent job, much respect!

This brought me to tears within the first few seconds. You have so much passion in this video. Thank you for sharing this! I hope you're still doing what you love!
I absolutely love it, tight band and brilliant vocals!👍🎸🇨🇦
Great sound. Real Portland's music.
Brian Snoderly they're from Houston not Portland Portland sucks
Portland music? Fake you mean?
Bridge city is another name for Portland and they're from Portland. Try harder next time fuck bois
Fricken daygone blew my mind!!! Seems like this is what punk is supposed to BE. sort of jazzy you know. Bless you good sirs.

"The Dead South" brought me here. Awesome music.
Amigo the Devil brought me here
Very, very good!!!.... What a great voice!!
Well, I went down to St. James' Infirmary and I saw my baby there,
She was laid out on that long white table, so sweet, so cold, so fair.
Well, I went up to see the doctor, "She's feeling very low" he said,
Well, I went back to see my baby, and good god, she was lying there dead.
So let her go, let her go, God bless her soul.
Wherever she may be.
She may search this whole wide world over,
And never find a motherfucker like me.
Well, I went down to Old Joe's Ballroom,
On the corner down by the square.
They were serving drinks as usual,
And all the usual folks were there.
Well, to my left stood Old Joe McKennedy,
His eyes were bloodshot red.
And he turned to the crowd in front of him,
And these were the very words that he said.
He said, "Let her go, let her go, God bless her soul

Put a jazz band on the horse wagon,
To raise Hell as we roll along.
So bring out the rubber tied carridge,
Go ahead and bring out the pony and drive.
Twelve men going down to that graveyard,
Only eleven of them ever coming back.
So let her go, let her go, God bless her soul,
Wherever she may be.
She may search this whole wide world over,
And never find a motherfucker like me.
So now, they've heard my story,
Well, let's buy another round of booze.
And if anyone ever should ask you,
I got the St. James' Infirmary blues.

Libby, extra love to you❤️🔥🍻
I love their combined & revised Irish blessing. ❤
OMG!!!! This is GREAT!!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Such such talent just love it
Its refreshing hearing a clarinet.
I did my best with the lyrics. Lip reading helped where possible:
Well I went down to St. James Infirmary
And I saw my baby there
She was laid out on that long, white table
So sweet, so cold, so fair
Well I went up to see the doctor
“she’s feeling very low” he said
Well I went back to see my baby
And good God, she was lying there dead
So let her go, let her go, God bless her soul
Wherever she may be
She may search this whole wide world over
And never find a motherfucker like me!
Well I went down to Old Joe’s Barroom
On the corner down by the square
They were serving drinks as usual
And all the usual folks were there
Well to my left stood old Joe McKenzie
His eyes a bloodshot red
And he turned to the crowd in front of him
And these were the very words that he said
He said “Let her go, let her go
God bless her soul
Wherever she may be
She may search this whole wide world over
And never find a motherfucker like me!”
So when I die would you bury me
In my high top Stetson hat
Put a $20 gold piece on my watch chain
So the devil knows I died standing pat
Six gamblers to carry my coffin
With chorus girls to sing me a song
Put a jazz band on the hearse wagon
To raise hell as we roll on!
So bring out the rubber tied carriage
Go head and bring out the pony and track
Twelve men going down to the graveyard
Only eleven of ‘em ever coming back
So let her go, let her go, God bless her soul
Wherever she may be
She may search this whole wide world over
And never find a motherfucker like me!
So now that you’ve heard my story
Well let’s buy another round of booze
And if anyone should ever ask you
I got the St James Infirmary blues
I know the lyrics. But she just plain nails it.
This is a blue standard. She may embellish the lyrics here and there, but 95% of them are accurate to the first result you would find on Google. You put a lot of effort for very little gain.
Docile Bint tbh I know the original lyrics but it was important to me to know what she was saying and enough people were asking here that I figured I’d post it. Auditory processing disorders ain’t easy so I figured I’d help out. The effort feels proportional to the gain for me
Gracias
@@simonchacha554 yes in layman's terms OCD is a bitch
Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice song..
Why do I like this song so much? Danm I hope you all don't judge me to much about this affection.
I had never seen the tiny banjo before. I learned a thing. Thanks guys
That little squeak she makes at 3:58.... Amazing
For a "sinner" she sings like a saint
Seconds later, OH NEVER MIND
She's so good it brings tears to my eyes lol

I love it your voice is beautifully blessed with Billie holiday sound you should do more ballads
