Murder By Death - "Foxglove" (Violitionist Sessions)

[@attreusmani-iu5586]

I listened to them for a while and never did I once imagine that the lead singer would look like this.

[@temptingbabel]

I felt the same exact way!

[@cladinshadow]

They played at our wedding. Best wedding ever!

[@HeyImKevin]

I love it when someone sounds as good live as they do on an album

[@bentrader05]

I clicked on this video never having heard this band before. I certainly did not expect THAT VOICE. Wow!

[@melan-inyourface1093]

Nothing will give me more joy than his voice mixed with this joyous music that I expected to be dissonant but its definetely not

[@marbacc]

I was listening without viewing the video and I thought it was Johnny Cash, fucking hell he's got a great voice!!!

[@birdseye_view]

MELTING That voice.

[@micky_knuckles]

My partner of over 12 years did a cover of this for me, he doesn't usually sing in that low of a register but he did coz he knows I love the song, and of course he killed it, in my opinion, but I may be biased (for the record, i don't always just blindly love everything he does) 🤣

[@brunanogueira4860]

Amazing song. This version is even better than the album one.I've fall for it

[@AliceBottemanneMCR]

Thanks to Ray for showing this! I love this!

[@jroe2011]

Johnny Cash and Warren Zevon had a soul child.

[@ROFLmangoasSOI]

Every time I listen to this band I look for Johnny Cash hiding in the background.

[@coltenmcgowen2502]

easily the best band ever. no other band compares

[@subdermal13]

Epic, love this song, love this version

[@kcealka1]

Such a beautiful and completely well rounded song.

[@syrjones]

Awesome! I love the acoustic version!. Thanks for the vid! Cant wait to see murder by death in August!

[@twogigglez]

I'll never forget summer of '99 in Sewanee, Sarah. You're still a badass! -Joshua

[@legacy2204]

what a singing voice so soothing

[@AFullSodaCan]

Dude, it totally reminds me of Cash, too. Glad someone else thinks so

[@itsMalma]

when he looks at her 🥺

[@seanfrancisep]

My favorite thing about this video. My man loves his wife something fierce.

[@Poypull]

Hah! Not a problem at all! Always glad to help. Don't forget that little Em shape either. Also, just figured out the tuning on the Violitionist "Three Men Hanging" if you were curious. It is just E standard with a flatted G string haha it looks like he is fretting chords but he is using some of his finger as a stop.

[@redshaftedflicker]

delivering the goods, thanks MBD.

[@Omegavegametal]

just saw these guys last night in saint pete fl at the state amazing.

[@TheDondoran]

I think Cash was just floating around until he found the right person to possess. He didn't always sing like this. It was around In Bocca al Lupo that he started to sing this way, which they started writing about a year after Johnny died. :p

[@YourLittleAmpersand]

Oh my goodness. I love this song.

[@jaredgreen5840]

Good god this song is pure gold... 😀👍👍

[@stegosteven]

one of my favorites :)

[@wedding_photography]

Amazing voice.

[@KilgoreTrout791]

Improv4humans brought me to this gem.

[@birdseye_view]

Me too! :)

[@ctpreda]

Great song!

[@lalanovo1893]

This is beautiful. The original is great enough but this is just wonderful.

[@laquil1]

YUP! Perfect. Thank you so much. I was right about the chords, but tuned 2 full steps down he's just playing C D (C form with open strings), and G. Hurrah!

[@SuperBump007]

Really fuckin' dig this man..

[@LizOmatic1]

Ray Toro brought me here!

[@gagizzle123]

true, i didnt think of them, i grew up around classical music nuts so i havent had much exposure to other musicians like this :p

[@Adam_Dude]

Pleasantly surprised.

[@AFullSodaCan]

Definitely reminds me of him

[@Poypull]

He is tuned down 2 whole steps to C standard. The No Oath, No Spell video he has the capo on the 4th fret because that song is tuned E standard, key of Em I believe. Tunes down for the voice, it is much easier that way.

[@desolatesoul2304]

Good song.

[@LongLiveIshmael]

can we get some more of these violinist sessions?

[@caramullen9186]

praying for sleep to overtake me..after this cigarette

[@laquil1]

GUITARISTS: The chords, as far as I can tell, are Ab Bb Eb (Or G A D with a capo on the first fret), then Ab Eb Cm, then back to Ab Bb Eb. My question for you is: what the hell chord forms is he using? Or is he in a strange tuning? Because whatever he's doing does NOT look like that. (I may also be going off the cello part, which is 100% what I wrote)

[@etwon78]

personal opinions man. only gotta hit the right note for that one person to remind em of something they'v heard before. but like you said. doesnt even matter. its a good band and they stand on their own.

[@Poypull]

Which, C standard may fit the cello better seeing as the lowest string is tuned to C? He bounces around from D standard, E standard, and C. Depends on the song. Usually plays your basic E standard guitar chord structures, just lower. :) Hope that helped

[@beckymorris4173]

Nice

[@Karamiehorse]

Damn Sara is looking pissed!!???!!!

[@rickyfitts09]

Who dare disliked this? Shame on you

[@violentcello]

Jacqueline du Pre! And Melora Creager and Zoe Keating from Rasputina.

[@AFullSodaCan]

Yeah, I feel like the beginning of Good Morning, Magpie sounds a LOT like him

[@ColoradoHughes]

Denver show?

[@sylvstar]

I've seen them several times and it's true that the sound lets them down sometimes - not the way they play, but the mix in the venue. His vocals are low and tend to be drowned out, it's a shame. Bad sound can ruin the best bands in the world!

[@amandabulinda4679]

she kicks ass everytime I see this video

[@gagizzle123]

i dunno man, look at some of the most famous cello and violin players ever, its a pretty good crop of men :p just off the top of my head you can think mischa maisky, yo yo ma and mstislav rostropovich for cello, but i cant think of any famous female cellists off the top of my head. as for the violin, well sure theres hilary hahn, but then theres maxim vengerov, joshua bell, james ehnes, david oistrak, itzhak perlman, jasha heifitz, etc.

[@thenoiboi]

in terms of the timbre of his voice, he can absolutely be compared to him.

[@fullmetaljon]

He sounds like the old guy on the radio in the mornings

[@amandabulinda4679]

they are real

[@juliahoelzle2221]

thats what I thought. and not really with this song, but others they sound like a combination of Brand New and Johnny

[@dragon53777]

Sarah is so beautiful...

[@brittanylyle374]

[@SkylerSeiben]

they look sad I can feel it bet i know why too

[@littleswedishboy]

It was always Yoo-Hoo

[@nubsboy1]

smile

[@soullessdevice]

I saw her smile once in concert- Rare, but it exists!

[@dust2128]

sounds like cash

[@importantmancommenting9336]

Dam I didn’t know birdman could sing

[@violentcello]

I know what you're saying though. It does seem MOST famous cellists are men.

[@brim0628]

this is amazing..saw them with Man Man in St Louie a few weeks ago..murder by death really let me down..the bass and drums ruined their set imo anyway, but what do i know

[@SquareNightmareCat]

This is great, but my brain just can't seem to accept that that guy has that voice. They just don't match up somehow...

[@batsuuri.gantulga]

I like this band and all, but He'll never be compared to Cash. Not even by a little fragment of percent.

[@abhinavmax]

Reddit? Anyone?

[@kikideee94]

sorry to be a grammar nazi but it's spelled cello. :)

[@Z-Ack]

Looks like before they played ole dude dropped a bomb on girls cus she looks hella heated the whole time and dude keeps looking at her for reassurance or a smile n never gets it.. or she raggin
