Dark Americana / Southern Gothic recommendations
tomselleck69:
A good answer to this query is "The Anthology of American Folk Music"
some other answers:
The Handsome Family, William Elliott Whitmore, recent Tom Waits albums
less relevant (happier, less narrative-y) but maybe worth checking out:
Scout Niblett, Jolie Holland, The Be Good Tanyas, Old Crow Medicine Show
Helryne:
I've got a couple of suggestions that may, or may not, be helpful.
Anything by:
The Spectral Light and Moonshine Firefly Snakeoil Jamboree
or
Stone Breath
Anything on:
the "Dark Holler" label
penfolder:
Best suggestion i can come up with is "Bubblegum" by Mark Lanegan Band
Being English the term Americana has always been a bit of a mystery as to what exactly it means but this album is dark and bluesy and Lanegan has one of the best whiskey-soaked voices in rock, imo.
rynne:
Thanks again to everyone who replied. I haven't checked out every suggestion yet, but in addition to the ones I mentioned earlier, I really like Munly (excellent recommendation!), O'death, The Handsome Family, Smoke Fairies, and Stone Breath.
glyphic:
Woo! Finally someone else jumps on the Munly bandwagon. Together we'll speak those words hard.
