Gothic Americana/ Alt-Country/ Dark Cabaret

Awesome! Can't wait to hear more Corb Lund. Horse Soldier was a cut above the average country, for sure. There's a lot of good country music coming from Canada these days.

I've got Five Dollar Bill and Hair In My Eyes Like a Highland Steer, too. Also several live recordings - he's terrific live.

I haven't got any live recordings, however I'd be far more interested in actual albums than just a compilation of live songs. I always hated it when bands released live albums from different shows all mashed together on one album, really cuts the flow and overall impression of the album in half. The need to get the albums Modern Pain and Unforgiving Mistress. I would also highly recommend Losin' Lately Gambler because if you liked Hair in My Eyes.. then you'll really enjoy this one.

Talking about him live, here's a great clip I found of him doing "The Hockey Song"

Shane MacGowan is gonna need more than some mouthwash and a toothbrush. A hammer might actually improve it, though that's not saying much...

No I know you weren't, however if you hooked your mum up with Shane MacGowen that'd be pretty much be the coolest thing ever.

I'm also jealous that Justin Townes Earle is opening for them, I really enjoyed his 2008 album The Good Life

Lucky gal. I'd give anything to see them do Down In the Ground Where the Dead Men Go live.

Can't remember where I heard it, but rumour has it Shane's due to finally go get his teeth done in the near future. With any luck they'll have a go at doing a new album soon enough too.

By the way, Pete, are you into Townes Van Zandt at all? If not, I can fix that for you

His work is much, much older than a lot of what I've come across in this thread, but definitely is a precursor to Gothic Americana in a stylistic sense. At least that's what I got from what I've heard of him anyway.
