That was a typo on my part. I was typing fast and high, and did not do a check.

.357 String Band indeed.

Now that I have enough posts I'm going to start posting some videos of examples of Gothic Country, enjoy!

Spoiler for videos:

That should be enough to give you guys a good start, anymore questions just ask me or The Prophet.

Here's a couple from Jim White. He played both of these when I caught him live recently. Terrific songs.

Don't tempt me. Or, is this frightening, a class of music, Gothic+ Country? Mysterious, eerie, saga-rific! I think I am goin' to try some of it.

I thought this needed a revival. Here are some other similar bands/artists (mostly Dark Cabaret-ish) that haven't been mentioned, with a song each.

The Hellblinki Sextet
