This Songs: Ohia shit is pretty fucking neat. Reading up on the dude behidn the music and apparently he died recently at age 39 due to alcoholism. Rad.

>>61795481
this and mid period DBT, Southern rock opera, Decoration Day and Dirty South for me were fucking masterpieces, saw them live on each tour and each time fucking excellent fun live.

Townes Van Zandt with an acoustic and no backing band transcends fucking everything for pure emotion, he makes buckley look like a fukcing joke.

16 Horsepower and Woven Hand are well worth a look as is Stories Under Nails by Ben Weaver if you can find it, he's like mid-era Waits.

ever watch yellow pee pee monster

Don Gibson's late-60's recordings were almost all really slow and somber because his drug addiction drained his energy and songwriting ability.

I'd also recommend Palace "Arise Therefore" as alt-country, it's fucking bleak as is the "I see a Darkness" album, which should be standard listening for /mu/

great album, they sucked live :/

Hank Williams, there's loads of that real early era stuff that's just decent folk shit really, I think there's an Alan Lomax series, probably a download available... I'll even go some Dolly Parton shit for fucking miserablist quality songwriting, it's just fucked over by the ghastly production :/

>>61795422
New Chris Stapleton and Brothers Osborne is really good.

But what you're really looking for is a nice George Jones or Waylon Jennings

Davis Eugene Edwards might be my favorite current artist, I'm not even sure if I could name a bad song in any of his, what, eight?, studio albums. Some are 'meh', sure but he is so consistently good

if you ain't passed out yet OP and still want somber and sparse:

FYI feelfag, they are 3 commonly regarded Kings in country western music, and as great as he is, Hank ain't one of them.

Bob Wills is king if you're in Texas, George Strait is king if you're under 40, and Roy Acuff is the original, and my personal, king (just ask the the country music hall of fame)

>pic related, Roy teaching the leader of the free world how to yo-yo on the Grand Ol Opry

Lucero fits the bill too

If you're going to be that much of a faggot about it, Spade Cooley was the first act marketed as the "king of western swing".

George Strait is ass.

Honestly, pretty much liked all of these.
Thank you guys, I got enough music to go through for the next month.

If you want to suggest more, feel free to do so, I am definitely monitoring this thread.

Anyone willing and able to school me on Iris DeMent, been meaning to get into her music (aw, fuck it, I ain't gonna lie, wouldn't mind getting into her either)

>Spade Cooley marketed as king
huh, didn't know that, but I'm not surprised. maybe it's just because of that whole 'being a drunken asshole and killing the wife' thing but it's pretty undeniable Bob has been the accepted king of country swing for the past 50 years.

Spade is great though, and criminally forgotten today

>George Strait is ass.

yeah, he's not my favorite, a little too modern sounding imo, but compared to the shit thats popular now, he's great

I was at the bar just last night and "All My Exs Live In Texas' was put on the jukebox and I started singing along under my breath and by the chorus about 60% of the bar was audibly singing along

>>61797465
sorry anon, I got caught up in looking up torrents, checking your links right now, stay tuned

I really liked this. It's not very known, and it's probably more Country Rock with some electronic elements. I don't know, I though it was good.

First link is pretty good, downloading both albums of his right now.

Second link is really not rubbing me right... I like dreampop but the idea of mixing it with country just doesnt sit well with me. Also when I really feel lonely and want to get smashed alone I don't exactly imagine female vocals accompanying it.

Good shit.

>>61797511
I feel you anon, i feel you so much

i was raised Christian, have read the majority of the Bible but just never felt the need or had the desire to actually believe in a higher power. But to hear him sing (or Johnny Cash, Hank sr (Alone And Forsaken), Roy Acuff (Great speckled Bird) or even Swans (Children Of God)) I really wish i could feel that glory - even though, intellectually I feel its 100% bullshit, factually.

Something about that old time Puritan vibe is so appealing - maybe it's just the generations of Protestants I'm descended from?

Some quite Jazz may hit the spot
