The Dead South mark the 10th anniversary of their first full-length album, Good Company, with a new Dolby Atmos spatial audio version and collectors’ edition vinyl. Now with over one billion streams worldwide, Good Company has played a major role in The Dead South’s story: a career-changing launchpad for the band’s global success, a calling card for their community, and the spirit of camaraderie that unites their fanbase around the world.

The impact of Good Company’s success, much more than the viral video for “In Hell I’ll Be In Good Company,” continues as The Dead South grow and reach milestones such as their Grand Ole Opry debut (February 2024). With songs such as lore-building “The Dead South” and “Honey You” and “The Recap,” Good Company remains in setlist and playlist alike, still a faithful reflection of the band’s brotherhood and signature musical approach.

“We set out to record with just a few dozen live shows on our resume,” says banjoist Colton Crawford. “As a group, we decided that we wanted a very real feel to this album, so we decided to record it live off the floor. We didn't know then that one of the tracks - a weird song with dark lyrics, only featuring banjo, cello, vocals and finger snaps - would change our lives. The fact that we're still here ten years later, doing what we love, is incredible.”

Since its release in 2014, The Dead South’s Good Company has been certified Gold in Canada, Platinum in USA (single), appeared alongside international superstars in charts ranging from Spotify Daily Viral, Shazam Daily Top Tracks, YouTube Top Songs and more, and heard in major film, television and gaming projects.

Good Company 10th Anniversary Dolby Atmos is available to stream here.

ABOUT THE DEAD SOUTH

The Dead South have never been about constant reinvention, but about full commitment to their own singular way. With confidence in their sound and style and trust in each other, The Dead South arrive at the cusp of explosive global success in an enviable, and well- earned, position: total autonomy. It doesn’t really matter what you call it - progressive bluegrass, alternative Americana, country, folk and western, what matters is that this is their music, and people from all different backgrounds, beliefs, experiences, languages and ages love it.

True blue right through, The Dead South don’t shy away from ruffling traditionalists' feathers from time to time, as they flawlessly execute banjo rolls and lightning fast mandolin tremolos, 3-part harmonies and songs of classic themes -murder ballads, disloyalty, ghosts and the like, all with a wink and a smile. As they continue their climb to the top, The Dead South have learned an important lesson: If you’re going to be outsiders, you’d better be great.

The story of Chains & Stakes, The Dead South’s fourth studio album, is the story of a band that has grown more adventurous and assured with each release. To make their new collection, they met Sugar & Joy producer Jimmy Nutt at Panoram Studios in Mexico City, where the team convened to record 13 songs full of plot twists, family trees, grudges, insurance scams, bacon, burials, banjo riffs and more. Chains & Stakes is truly a “Dead South” collection in the balance of darkness and levity that has come to define their unmistakable sound.

Confirmed by the passion of their Dead South cosplaying fans, who go to concerts in the band’s signature look, this four-piece acoustic set from the middle of the Canadian prairies have found their people. Good Company, as they call themselves, is a global community of vastly dissimilar folks who might not see eye to eye, but who stand shoulder to shoulder at the gigs.
