about
"Chains & Stakes" was recorded in Mexico City’s Panoram Studio. After the success of their travel to Muscle Shoals, Alabama to make Sugar & Joy, The Dead South’s confidence in their craft and trust in their team brought them even further south of the border. Reunited with Grammy-winning producer Jimmy Nutt, the team wrote, recorded and empanada-ed their way through 13 songs full of plot twists, family trees, grudges, insurance scams, bacon, burials, banjo riffs and more. The result is an album of surprises, memorable moments, head-turning musicianship, and vulnerable personal stories. The Dead South have grown more adventurous and assured with each album, and Chains & Stakes is a truly “Dead South” collection in the balance of darkness and levity that has come to define their unmistakable brand.

lyrics
I have loved you for some time
While all those other men wait in line
I've worn down my own
No conversation this time please
Then I saw the hole in the sky
That's when I heard the angel's cry
All the love that is in her eye
She just a little devil in disguise
All the love that is in her eye
Just a little devil in disguise
It was only in our dreams
I was there this time don't you, please
Writings on the wall they did scream
Your voice is never heard when it's this clean
Then I saw the hole in the sky
That's when I heard the angel's cry
All the love that is in her eye
She just a little devil in disguise
All the love that is in her eye
Just a little devil in disguise
So I'll tell you
How the story goes
Just lock me up with that bottle
The father, son, and the ghost
My heads on fire
My heart has turned to toast
I drank too much back then but
That's how she goes
That's how she
Then I saw the hole in the sky
That's when I heard the angel's cry
All the love that is in her eye
She just a little devil in disguise
All the love that is in her eye
Just a little devil in disguise
All the love that is in her eye
Just a little devil in disguise
All the love that is in her eye
She's just a little devil in disguise
