I read an article that referred to this band as bloodgrass instead of bluegrass. It sounds like they have throat singing in this song as well.

Sounds like some sort of throat-singing, very gravelly. Bloodgrass is a good name, I have also heard 'horrorbilly'. The song is deeply Christian-themed with references to communion (flesh/bread & blood/wine) and the crucifixion (hanging up on that tree).

This is Nick Cave territory.

A man is born a slave, O Lord,
or a man is born a chief;
I'll always be a beggar, Lord, and I'll always be a thief.

Before I grow dark and old and lose my eyes to see,
I'll pay back all the things I owe

If you remember me, Lord.
Lord, will you remember me?

Lord, I'll remember your flesh when you give me bread;
and Lord, I'll remember your blood when you give me wine instead.
I know you gotta be hotter than hell hanging up on that tree
Now, if I give you a sip of wine, will you remember me, Lord?
Lord, will you remember me?

I know I'm soon to slumber, Lord, for all eternity;
but if I wake up tomorrow, Lord, then let me wake up free.
I have crossed the river twice to see what I must be,
and after I have come this far, will you remember me?
