Hull has the Dead covered
Originally released in 1987 by the Grateful Dead, Hull said, '"Black Muddy River' is the first song that really made me stop and truly appreciate the music of the Grateful Dead."
"There are so many Dead songs that folks cover and you kind of come to know a lot of them without even trying to some degree, but this beautiful song really made me pause and want to learn and sing it myself. It then led me to listen to the studio albums and explore and appreciate their music on a whole new level. 'Black Muddy River' has been one of my favorite songs to sing live for the past couple years, and I'm so happy to have our own version recorded now."
Last month, Hull released her take on Tears for Fears' "Mad World," her first new release in four years. She had previously performed "Mad World" live for a Paste Session in 2022.

The single ...
It says a lot for a young player's career that they can create a retrospective of their life through music at age 25. Somehow, Sierra Hull has struck the right note(s) and achieved that goal. Hull is a preternaturally gifted player who commands her mandolin. But her voice is strong, and song writing startling. There's lots to see here.
"25 Trips" refers to journeys around the sun, and, at 25, Hull has already had an enviable career. She's been touring for nearly a ...
It has been nearly five years since Sierra Hull released a record. 2012's "Daybreak" (also on Rounder) featured startling mandolin playing by Hull and a strong, but still tentative, vocal style. "Weighted Mind" doesn't hold back on either score, and it's a beautiful work of contemporary bluegrass music.
No one is the same person at 19 as at 24, and Hull is no different. At 11, she played at the Grand Ole Opry with Alison Krauss. Hull was signed to a record ...
