thanks for the prompt responses! can i offer any of you some bourbon crow? i have their 2006 album "highway to hangovers". in case you don't already know, bourbon crow is the country side project of wednesday 13, the frontman for the horror punk band frankenstein drag queens from planet 13.

Did you receive anything besides "death row hoedown"? 'Cause that's the only one I've got.
I've got Bourbon Crow's "Long Way to the Bottom", too.

hah no, you and pete both sent me death row hoedown. thanks again. so you have obviously heard of bourbon crow. but do you have their first album? you mentioned that you have "long way to the bottom", but do you have "highway to hangover"? if not, i will gladly send it to you.

I've got "highway to hangover", thanks. Do you have "Long Way to the Bottom"?

I'd also sent you the Muleskinner Jones' track "Blood & Muskets" from a Rodentia compilation.

i do not have long way to the bottom, but i'm running low on space so i'm not too desperate for it at this point in my life. in other news, have any of you guys heard about this guy?

Phantom of the Black Hills on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

seems pretty interesting.

Ditto

All Muleskinner Jones LPs and CDs are available (cheap) from the artist's own website (a Google on 'Muleskinner Jones' will get you there). Also on emusic, itunes, and most other download sites. Get 'em ;)

Think there are some free downloads on last.fm too, just search there for Muleskinner Jones.

I would have posted direct links but, this being my first post, the forum won't let me!

Couple of my favourite LPs that I think fit loosely into the 'Gothic Country' cannon would be The Violent Femmes 'Hallowed Ground' (they practically invented the genre with 'Country Death Song' way back in the mid 80s) and Johnny Dowd's 'Pictures From Life's Other Side'.

cheers

Murder by Death does a Smashing Pumpkins cover - "We Only Come Out at Night" - and it's posted at "The Cover Lovers".

hey, berni. i just got "always say please & thank you" if you're interested.

Thanks Jack, that's awesome!

no problem. i just sent it to you in a private message, let me know if it works. i made sure that they were mp3s also.

Tho' I forgot to say "please", I "always say... thank you"

Dad Horse
 

Anybody got the Dad Horse Experience cd? I cant find it anywhere. Oh yeah, I looked up those blues bands y'all gave me, but i have yet to fully research them.

I don't have the whole CD, but I've got some of the songs. Let me know if you want them.

Ah, what the hell, sure. Thanks in advance.

Ninebullets.net has a post on Dad Horse Experience with 3 MP3s. Use the archive search to bring it up.

I assume they wouldn't read this if they agree with me, but is anyone put off by the title of this thread?

Why would they be? There isn't anything offensive in it. What reason would they have?

You've lost me there.

samesies.

anyone get the new those poor bastards album yet? the cover looks awesome.

What I meant was, its sort of a mish-mash. It doesn't really give you a direction and it seems to me if you're not into this style of music, you'd be looking for a path to go down. Instead we're throwing them in the deep end.

Honestly, I'm sure I'd love a lot of whats suggested here but I don't have the time to try something I think I'll hate. More descriptions please?

Oh, ok. Well, It's sort of like the tag line on No Depression magazine "...whatever that is." Genre labels are a handy shorthand, but are inherently problematic. I myself have a hard time classifying the music we talk about on this site because oftentimes what I like about this music is the juxtaposition of styles in often unexpected ways. And I often can't quite put my finger on the influences and instrumentation like my son, who is a musician, can. So rather than sounding like an idiot, I tend to shy away from detailed reviews/descriptions. So if it seems like a mish-mash, it's because it is! Also, I think that people who like music which is a composite of styles tend to also like the styles on which it's based. So if I like punkabilly, I'll probably also tend to like rockabilly. Some of the artists that get mentioned here aren't really gothic country but fall under the general taste umbrella of gothic country, etc. fans.

If I wasn't dirt poor, I'd have gotten it a month and a half ago. But, seeing as I can't afford it, I'll just have to wait until it pops up on the internet somewhere for free download. I'd really like to buy the vinyls, maybe someday.

you're in luck! look what i just found:

Those Poor Bastards – Gospel Haunted « Below The Fog

Hey, thanks! I own you one.

Ah, another band that I have been looking for, and would recommend, is JB Nelson. Keep an eye out!

You can get “Animal Extracts” by JB Nelson FREE at www.devilsruinrecords.com/animalextracts.zip

I "Mountain Meadows" by Elliot Brood and love it. Anyone know of anything else along those lines i might like?

There's lots. Browse back through this thread and take note of recurring artists. I started with 16 Horsepower, Elliott Brood, and O'Death and went from there.

Does anyone have The Dedringers – Sweetheart of the Neighborhood or Jeff Finlin – Ballad of a Plain Man?

Thats me. I love all the sub genres of country music.

Has anyone heard the new Woven Hand release?

Awesome. Which would you recommend to dl first?

Built With Bones is my favourite, but I've heard a lot of good things about Defiant

Thanks for this Pete and also thank Christian Williams for his kind generosity. On my rare forays back to this forum this is the 1st thread I look at. A credit to you.

Just signed up here after i came over this topic while gooogling. Lotsa bands i gotta check out it looks.
Yesterday i got Munlys new album, or Munly & The Lupercalians as they are called.
Highly recommended :D

Just how new is this release? And, what is the new Munly release called? And thanks, LoathsomePete, for the Christian Williams stuff.

Hey, have you seen the new Loathsome Wyatt and the Holy Spooks album? It's like a 3 cd album. His Holy Spooks work is a little calmer than Those Poor Bastards., but I'm looking forward to listening.

Your music sucks. Terribly. To the point that I think you are just messing with people. It's that bad. No. It's worse.

Please don't quote spammers, it just doubles the clean up I have to do.

Also it really did suck.
