Devil makes three is described as Americana, blues , blue grass and old time country. I have found that many of these new "old time country artist" blur the lines in music they appreciate old time artist but they aren't married to purity in music as much as they are into presenting their music that is true to them. Chris Stapleton is the most famous one doing country like that. Some people say his not country, his is a soul singer or a blues singer. To me he is a amazing country singer who won't be limited by style or others expectations of how is does his music.
Second that. Most of those good modern americana artists and string bands (like also the ones which were reacted to on this channel) are a blend of the old American styles: Folk, Country (also Bluegrass if you don't define this as country) and Blues
I agree. I mostly just call it folk-country, but it doesn't necessarily stick to one genre. I kind of think of it as hobo music/traveler music. These artists really have ranging styles that touch on piedmont blues, bluegrass, classic country, folk and traditional Celtic style. I mostly see artists like Townes Van Zandt, Blaze Foley, Bob Dylan, Jimmie Rodgers, Gram Parsons, John Prine, Guy Clark, Doc Watson etc. as being huge influences on this style of music. I kind of see artists like Lost Dog Street Band, The Devil Makes Three, Sierra Ferrell, Trampled By Turtles, Nick Shoulders, Old Crow Medicine Show, Colter Wall, Willie Watson, Shine Delphi, Billy Strings, Matt Heckler as being under the same umbrella. Really good music. Not part of the whole pop-country movement. Sort of hipster music though.
Agreed! Whatever it is, I'm here for it. Maybe we'll just have to call it 'top shelf Country' that way we can decide who's in it. I find people like Chris (who identifies with Country) do want to be claimed by every genre because of how good they are, but truth is - his sound has most likely been moulded by his love for many different genre's and natural talent.
I got to see them for the first time circa ~2010 at Iowa State University at a venue they have on campus. I was outside smoking a cig quietly with a bearded dude I didn't know. Some cyclist pulled up, locked his bike up on a bike rack outside, and ran inside. The bearded dude and I saw that the cyclist left the tail light of his bike on but didn't have a chance to say anything since he ran inside so fast. We walked over and turned off his light. We chatted shortly about it. I finished up my cig and leaned in towards the bearded man, winked, and said, "now that we've done our good deed, it's time to do the devil's work" and walked inside. DMT started and turned out the bearded man was fucking Cooper McBean out there with me. I just didn't know what any of them looked like at that time. Had been listening to them for like 4-5 years at that point. Talk about a missed opportunity. Fuuuuuuuuuck.
I'm glad you liked this one, this is one of those songs that I'm always glad comes on the radio. I don't drink or I think it would be one of my favorites. I like the lyrics and love how the instruments take it to the next level.
I know this is old but it makes me SO happy to see my FAV band being reacted to. 🙏🏼 thank you.. and I really hope you continued to explore their catalog.
Love it. The song starts and the head bobbing starts immediately as well. I once read a comment under one of their songs: "May cause involuntary foot tapping". Thats TDM3
@@schadenfreude5683 Did you like this group? They are currently my newest obsession and Nathaniel's newest album truly shows off how unique his voice and general demeanor is. Just really a class act.
This is the beginning of a wonderful Journey. I had the pleasure to stumble into their first concert in Berlin and am hooked since. I'd love to see more reactions to dm3.
I got into this genre about 4 years ago and I found lots of good artists. Devil makes Three was one, I recommend William Elliot Whitmore's Old Devils or Animals in the Dark, and Brown Bird(band) anything by them. Check out Dorothy also... She's awesome.
This is a perfect example of a band that where you can hear the bluegrass, country, americana, blues, folk and at sometimes even rock roots shining through.....they really don't fall into any of those categories. Really can't label these guys. I would lean more towards the "gangstagrass" type genre...but I really hate that term. Just a great and unique band!
If you like this, you might want to check out brown bird, murder by death and the builders and butchers. This genre is Americana or gothic americana. Also, female artists to check out...Sierra Ferrell and Gretchen Peterson.
In the south and the Midwest of America there are extreme swaths of poverty, alcoholism, domestic abuse and religious fanaticism, with high levels depression, suicide and teen pregnancy. Much of America is not pretty.
My favorite tunes to knock back a few Bluegrass,country, old time, blues, folk, jazz, and rag time. And they are from Santa Cruz California. Check out Old and in the way.
Hello, Number 7 is a great song and was joyed that you liked it. But nonetheless of my favorite songs "Broken Bones" by KALEO fits pretty well with this type of music. Hope you'll react to it.
I took my now fiance to watch the devil makes three on our first date, and the opening bad was The Lost Dog Street Band. And I never heard em again till all these years later and I love benjamin tod. You should check him out
Devil Makes Three has been doing good music for a minute now. My two cents says country is a state of mind. The blending of genres and creation of new stuff makes it happen. While we may have plenty problems here in Retardastan, we are fortunate to have a rich tradition of music: country, blues, folk, gospel or rap to name a few. How about we just call it Americana?
Another good Americana group with a sound that I've never found anyone else could match is the Felice Brothers. You should all check them out. They are truly unique and you won't be sorry.
they are folk punk a b very strange mix of bluegrass and punk music.hence the whiskey reference. of you want more of this check out "children play with matches" or anything from mischief brew or for a more spooky version do "murder at the bingo hall" by amigo the devil
Interesting thoughts about the sense of community you hear in this kind of music. This is my view as someone in New York - so also an outsider - when it comes to music created in the South. I see many examples that southerners don't feel like part of The States. It seems like the Civil War is still being fought in parts of the deep south. (Actually, it's LITERALLY still being fought. They have Civil War re-enactments of famous battles in every battlefield. Basically just war games...but a psychologist could write a book on that...and probably has...) So the sense of community might come from feeling disconnected from the rest of the country. A feeling that they can only be understood by family and a small circle of friends. Not hearing different voices means their view is less watered down. An uncompromising point of view makes for better art. I love when Jason Isbell, Turnpike Troubadors, etc find a good way to write about themes like isolation, messing things up in a relationship etc. There's a lot of "America-first, God-n-guns" jingoism in country music that leaves me cold. There's a lot that has to be plowed thru before I find someone like Isbell. As far what to name this genre? "Americana" or "Red Dirt Country" are what I hear it called. But I'm cynical when it comes to labels because those are just advertising terms. EDIT: "An uncompromising point of view makes for better art." = I think a stronger point of view makes a stronger song. But everything is debatable.
Yeah, I think everyone sub-genre or genre in general has real gems and they are hard to find. Some of them don't consistently churn out the same standard of music. I think more than anything that is because some of the best performers (that goes for sport, too) come from places of struggle.
Lori McKenna is one of the best songwriter country has to offer, Humble and Kind is a great song She wrote it, Tim McGraw made it famous. Courtney Marie Andrews is great. Sarah Shook is so damn good, tough no nonsense bad ass music, Lyle Lovett is a good start. Lydia Loveless. Gillian Welch is folk/country royalty for great reason, Time the Revelavator or Tear my Stillhouse down are great songs to start with. Emily Scott Robinson,
Awesome! I totally dig Devil Makes Three. If you plan on doing another song of theirs may I suggest 'Do Wrong Right' you'll see a different side of all 3 members in a more upbeat song. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/ARL3u5nr7LU/v-deo.html By the way I'm a big Jameson fan. I really enjoy their casket series.
Gracefully facedown has got to be one of my favorite songs ever

My dad calls it "White Blues"
Yes!!! I've been waiting for this review, love this song!
This is the song that popped in my pandora and led me to their album. It really hooked me. Great reaction.
I absolutely love this band! I listen to their music almost every day. Glad you enjoyed this song and can't wait to see you react to more from them.

nobody probably cares, but the devil makes three comes from my small pnw hometown! it’s so cool to see them getting attention
I'm glad you liked this one, this is one of those songs that I'm always glad comes on the radio. I don't drink or I think it would be one of my favorites. I like the lyrics and love how the instruments take it to the next level.
When the kick drum starts…..there is no drums, and you never feels it s missing…. Love devil makes three so much! Lives are always amazing!
I know this is old but it makes me SO happy to see my FAV band being reacted to. 🙏🏼 thank you.. and I really hope you continued to explore their catalog.
Love it. The song starts and the head bobbing starts immediately as well. I once read a comment under one of their songs: "May cause involuntary foot tapping". Thats TDM3
Haha, you couldn't see because of the bar. But the foot was tapping along, too.
And Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats are another band worth looking at. Really good music!
I saw him in concert!!
@@schadenfreude5683 Did you like this group? They are currently my newest obsession and Nathaniel's newest album truly shows off how unique his voice and general demeanor is. Just really a class act.
DaisyMae0929 for sure!! I was gonna see DM3 in concert this year but then COVID happened...
This is the beginning of a wonderful Journey. I had the pleasure to stumble into their first concert in Berlin and am hooked since.
I'd love to see more reactions to dm3.
Thanks for reacting to Devil Makes Three!

Thank you! I'll take a look
Low key one of my favorite bands.
This is a band that is much better to watch live the energy level goes up.
This is a perfect example of a band that where you can hear the bluegrass, country, americana, blues, folk and at sometimes even rock roots shining through.....they really don't fall into any of those categories. Really can't label these guys. I would lean more towards the "gangstagrass" type genre...but I really hate that term. Just a great and unique band!
Hell yeah , good tune Bro.
Love The Devil Makes Three!!! This review made me happy. Thanks
If you like this, you might want to check out brown bird, murder by death and the builders and butchers. This genre is Americana or gothic americana. Also, female artists to check out...Sierra Ferrell and Gretchen Peterson.
Folk punk is another term I've heard
Love the devil makes three!
In the south and the Midwest of America there are extreme swaths of poverty, alcoholism, domestic abuse and religious fanaticism, with high levels depression, suicide and teen pregnancy. Much of America is not pretty.
Devil Makes Three introduced me to the sub-genra known as Southern Gothic. Lots of sad and angry music.
My favorite tunes to knock back a few Bluegrass,country, old time, blues, folk, jazz, and rag time. And they are from Santa Cruz California. Check out Old and in the way.
They're even better in concert
Ashley Mcbryde “Bible and a .44” for female artists..crazy good!
She's on the list brother!
Lol dark bluegrass my mates
Hello, Number 7 is a great song and was joyed that you liked it. But nonetheless of my favorite songs "Broken Bones" by KALEO fits pretty well with this type of music. Hope you'll react to it.
A little tack on request is
" Bringin Home The Rain " by The Builders and The Butchers

I think this is classed as alternative folk music
I’ve heard it called “Southern Gothic”
Lindi Ortega. Murder of crows and black fly
Another good Americana group with a sound that I've never found anyone else could match is the Felice Brothers. You should all check them out. They are truly unique and you won't be sorry.
A couple for next week.

You should also check out TDM3 vocalist, Pete Bernhard’s solo music. He just released his 3rd album in April.
Sierra Ferrell is a good one
A good song by her would be "In Dreams
You should listen to some of the newer stuff by devil makes three.

Sarah Shook is so damn good, tough no nonsense bad ass music, Lyle Lovett is a good start. Lydia Loveless. Gillian Welch is folk/country royalty for great reason, Time the Revelavator or Tear my Stillhouse down are great songs to start with. Emily Scott Robinson,
Please do Brent Cobb, "Down in the gully " if you haven't already.
Georgia Lawman by Poor Mans Poison is one of my favorite songs. If you get a chance, it’s worth a look :)
Holly Williams - daughter of Hank Williams - drinking. Female and country.
