The Dead South’s stirring version of the Nashville classic, “Will The Circle Be Unbroken,” invokes the heart wrenching sorrow within the song’s lyrics. A long time favourite of the band, the legendary tune takes on a mournful tone with stark guitar-picking and baritone vocals, joined later by lulling cello, banjo, and mandolin laments.
