Codeine

Nathaniel Hilts, Eliza Mary Doyle, and Curtis Glas have a nice little backyard session with Codeine by Trampled by Turtles. Filmed by the infamous Little Jack Films.

The Dead South:

Eliza Mary Doyle:

[elizabethb]

She shreds on that banjo! And that voice! OMG! This is heaven!

[jasondodt]

I love the sound of this ladies voice.
Absolutely RAW. no auto-tune, no digital filters
Keep it real!

[jujuberrie]

Not only does she play a mean banjo, this girl's got some voice!! Dang

[baffledsquirrel]

She rocks that banjo pretty damn good! The dead south has gotten me into music I never thought I’d like and for that I must thank you!🙏🏼🙏🏼

[jazykjedovaty]

The banjo playing always sinks into the marrow and chills to the bones. If anybody just sits through this music, there is something very wrong. I cannot sit still. This band is way above excellent, and much big ginormous respect to them all. Eliza is a phenomenal banjo player!!!!

[jasblack]

eliza doyle sure suprised me with that voice 😍 i hope to hear her in future albums!

[muleb]

Anyone who has a problem with the vocals has never actually sat around a jam circle and appreciated real bluegrass. It's more about the jam, the instruments, and the moment. Not being an autotuned pop singer. The best bluegrass in the world sounds exactly like this.

[throttle]

She has a beautiful voice perfect for this type of music. I am so tired of all the female vocalists sounding almost exactly alike. This girl is spectacular and original sounding.

[SearchfortheMeaning]

No one has uttered the name of the infamous author to this incredible gem of a song. Songwriter: Townes Van Zandt May you RIP always...

[wikingsweden]

Having a education is important, having a banjo is importander 😉

[BBoardman]

I dont give a shit what anyone says... I LOVE this chicks voice. It's so raw and real. Its adds an emotion to the song that really suites it. And she fucking shreds on that banjo. Most of ya'll couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time. Let alone sing and play an instrument.

[thomasshrum]

I literally got chills as soon as Eliza began to sing. That woman is powerful.

[danielle]

Reminds me of my grandfather’s reunions with his family playing instruments and singing. Would love to go back to those times.

[donovanlucibello]

Great job Eliza carrying both the lyrics and the banjo melody like a boss! Love hearing a good technical banjo picking with a great female soulful voice, but not often is that from the same person simultaneously. Thank you for sharing this!

[terryroberts]

So happy ive seen these guys they got the audience they deserve so much love for them

[larrymanns]

One of my favorite songs covered by one of my favorite bands, HOW AM I ONLY DISCOVERING THIS TWO YEARS LATE?!

[eowyn-faramir-reads]

the lady has a wicked, wicked picking style.
also people ranting.. it's bluegrass. there's gonna be higher pitches, not full, rounded Aretha Franklin vocals. the entire point of bluegrass is instrumental appreciation.

Lyrics for this cover::

I ain't your darling, I ain't your baby now
Them holy roller can't climb out of town
Its dark where I've been staying,
Don't you worry, Come on in
I've finally found a friend, till the end

Codeine, Codeine
You're the nicest thing I've seen
For awhile,
For awhile

You hold my hand when I stumbled into the room
And, all of these faces will all be faded soon
It's whisper time again
Time to forget everything
Its all I got left to hold onto

Codeine,
Codeine,
You're the nicest thing I've seen,
For awhile,
For awhile

You can take your dusty bottle off the shelf
And, you can keep your words of wisdom to yourself
I love you darling so..
Why can't you let me go
Before you find me hanging in a cell

Codeine,
Codeine,
You're the nicest thing I've seen,
For awhile,
For awhile

For awhile,
For awhile

We were out doing chores and running errands for family one Saturday. Me and my two boys. We hit a few yard sales along the way. After we finished everything up, we decided to swing by G.G.s house. Their Great Grandma, my grandmother. We saw what I thought was a yard sale, but it turned out to just be a family in the front yard with a lot of stuff, chairs, and some BBQ rolling while they were playing bluegrass on a guitar, five string, and an upright bass.

I stayed to hear the whole song and clapped at the end. They were great. They never acknowledged my presence in any way. It was very strange behavior for people playing bluegrass, but this was in California. People there just aren't right.

There's a feel to it when you're there. This sounds great on a device, but to be there is a tactile thing that transcends sound alone.

This is a fantastic performance. Wish I'd have been there.

Jesus F'n Christ why aren't musicians like this are not on the radio?
