This Little Light of Mine / House of the Rising Sun
In our latest edition of The Horizon Line, we have a double dose of delight and danger with two new covers courtesy of The Dead South.
"This Little Light of Mine" is a classic of the traditional folk songbook, recorded during the Good Company sessions in Regina in 2014. The Dead South are sending this one out to all the front line workers: "Thank you to everyone who is treating, delivering, growing, stocking, driving and caring for others during this time. We send love and gratitude to you and your families."
"House of the Rising Sun,” recorded by The Dead South in Hamburg, Germany in 2015, is a bit of an unsavoury tale (which makes it a perfect choice for them). From The Animals to Alt-J, there are many great versions of this folk classic. Give The Dead South's take a spin, you won't come back the same.
In other news, The Dead South's hit "In Hell I'll Be In Good Company" was just certified gold in the USA! We are celebrating with a dance party. Click above to find out how you can join in the fun.
