Quick shoutout and I happen to be wearing their t-shirt at this moment; Memphis Morticians.

What about the Bob Dylan song, Ballad of Hollis Brown? Is that Gothic Country?

Seems incomplete to leave out the darkness of the Gun Club

The chameleons... yeah!!!

Thank you so much for this video. I’m utterly obsessed with all things David Eugene Edwards so this made me very happy. I hadn’t come across Devotchka before but can see them becoming my next obsession. I see someone else has mentioned Tarnation so I won’t go on about them except to say that they’re incredible.

Nice video. Where does the Black Heart Procession fall genre-wise? Not country enough to fall in the gothic country arena?

Would add Zombie Ghost Train album "Glad Rags & Body Bags" - rockabilly mets the Misfits. Singers voice and the bands lyrics have an early Misfits vibe. Would check out the song R.I.P. from the album.

I also have to mention the TRAITRS and the Occults. These are my two favourite current Goth Bands. TRAITRS were also really good live, and their debut album Butcher's Coin, is a perfect goth album.

Although more associated with blues, I feel Chris Whitley could have been mentioned here. His debut "Living With The Law" and the stark, surreal poetry of the solo "Dirt Floor" an absolute masterpiece that echoes bad times, and heartbreak. One man with his amazing poetry and stunning resonator work.

Great vid, bro! Glad to see Nick Cave mentioned - heavily influenced by rural gothic literature, in particular. Would also like to throw in some more of my Aussie Brethren who excel in the darker aspects of folk music traditions..... A local guy in my parts Jimmy Willing (& the Real Gone Hickups) and especially his "Preacher Man Blues" a murder tale of the highest order. One; f the finest post punk blues/coumtry albums ever to come out us "The Axemans Jazz", by the Beasts Of Bourbon. This debut L.P. is a blues/country/punk/psychobilly masterpiece. Murder and death abounds, all passionately performed without a hint of irony. The entire album is on yt, but if nothing else, check out the video for "Psycho" - a slow dirge, country twanger backs the deadpan, baritone narrative of Tex Perkins first hand account of the death of his brother, neighbour, mother..... Dark!

Thank you for this great channel ! The first band that came in mind , when i read your thumpmail was " Heathen Apostles".may be you did not know them, but you shoud ! Best haggety

I like your show I like it very very very very very much

This video just came at a pivotal point in my life, and you have no clue how much I appreciate it. I've, rather recently, been going on a journey of myself. I've been told that I am gothic and goth (though I listen to all sorts of music) despite being country-I grew up in the sticks. I live in the south now. I've been in the open plains of North Dakota. I've been in the frigid cold. I've been reflecting on these experiences, and I consider them gothic. It was to my surprise that I discovered Southern Gothic. On top of that, I've always enjoyed Lead Belly, Cash, etc., especially their darker songs-so bringing them up was, for me personally, a perfect introduction. I also ironically just really got into raw black metal, and Wayfarer sounds awesome; I'm about to check them out after I leave this comment. Anyways, thank you for this video! It's definitely helped me realize that I'm not the only one out here that falls under the gothic cowboy category. EDIT: Ive always considered a lot of folk music to be dark, and now i consider them to be gothic. I also want to recommend checking out 69eyes - wasting the dawn. The music video captures country gothic perfectly; though i wouldnt say the music falls under that.

I am aesthetically a Crust-Goblin...Fields of the Nephilim meets DOOM, lol...and I love old Country. Settling in rural Arkansas after years of wandering has surely influenced my tastes.

Nice video. I love finding odd genre combinations. Unfortunately, UA-cams algorithm is overtuned, and you can't go looking for new bands like you used to. If you've never heard of "Diablo Swing Orchestra," you should check them out. They're heavy metal swing

Really the only decent music to ever come out of Denver

Everyone owes it to themselves to check out Slim Cessna's Auto Club. One of the best American bands that doesn't have a genre or any radio airplay.

Chrome, Blurt, Higsons, Kleenex, KLF, DAF, Die Warzau, KMFDM, Liasons Dangereuse, Nitzer Ebb, Japan, Department S......

Awesome vid and topic by the way...😊

Cont...especially this guy.... ua-cam.com/video/kEDwj4yQi8s/v-deo.htmlsi=kIZwdrlZzXMm_BhP

Check out Those Poor Bastards. Wisconsin goth country band. 👍

Good to see several of these bands given some well-deserved kudos. Why, however, are all the videos reversed?

ДэВОчКа 😂 But seriously, thank you for the video, liked it 👍🏻🙂 There is a few bands for me to check, I may like this "genre", in a broad sense 🙂

Jaye Jayle and Orochen have that American gothic vibe too! But where's the spotify playlist??

1st time I've seen one of your videos. Subbed and I'll be sure to take a look at some of your other stuff...

21:01 Gothic Folk Video - YES 👏PLEASE👏 Freaking LOVED this one! I grew up on a healthy mixture of rock and metal from my dad and old country from my mom, so this kind of country has always pulled me in like a moth to a flame. Loved that you mentioned Coffinshakers and Dead South, two favorites of mine. Absolutely checking out Wayfarer - boyfriend's been on a huge post/atmospheric black metal binge all year so I'll have to share this with him! Absolutely love how you're diving into a lot of niche genres that not a lot of other channels probably even know about. Keep the awesome videos coming! 🤘🖤

How the hell are you missing Slackeye Slim in your list? He had a bunch of people's Album Of The Year about 12 years back and I think he influenced a lot of the current crop

Not worth watching if there is no mention of Townes Van Zant..

Th’ Legendary Shack*Shakers…

This is well outside my typical listenings but you paint a compelling picture. I'll give that Spotify list a shot

Excellent, informative video. I would also recommend for anyone interested in this genre to check out Jim White (especially the “Wrong Eyed Jesus” album).

Thank you for the excellent video. Very informative! I would very much like to hear your analysis of Bobbie Gentry.

Hey man great video, very informative. Just want to make a recommendation of another Southern Gothic band called Tarnation. They were out of San Francisco in the 90s on 4AD, the same music label as Bauhaus, Cocteau Twins, and Pixies to name a few. Keep up the good work.

Good video, will be checking some of this stuff out. Surprised Orville Peck didn't come up, or Sturgil Simpson, unless they hew too close to the mainstream. One thing I would suggest to fans of this genre, and this is a single project because the rest of this artists output isn't like this: the album Kentucky by Panopticon. This is Blackened folk-metal with the specific folk tradition being drawn on in this case being American labour ballads. The whole thing is themes around the class struggle and despoliation of the natural environment of the Kentucky hills at the hands of the coal industry. Its brilliant. Includes a cracking version of Which Side Are You On? Where do you see Lingua Ignota / Hayter's subsequent work fitting in with all of this?

You might be interested in the essays I wrote over ten years ago on American Gothic Culture on my site called The Anadromist. The first essay is called American Gothic #1: What is American Gothic? (I'd put the link here. But that tends to get spotted erroneously as spam.) I just subbed. Thanks for the good work.

Another great list. Only know a few bands in this genre (Wovenhand/16 Horsepower, and some of the Jay Munly projects). certainly gonna look into Sons Of Perdition. Lately I'm listening to Micah P. Hinson, who certainly got some goth-country vibes.

18:15 You said Handsome Family formed in 2001 but then show their third album "Through the Trees", which is from 1998?

Duuuude! I love dark country, dark americana, folk polk... Never heard of any of the newer bands mentioned here ('cept Dead South, of course) looks like I've got a new rabbit hole.

all great groups and singers, and a few im not familiar with at all. I'm a longtime fan of Lonesome Wyatt myself.

the .357 string band, devil makes three, and Hackensaw boys come to mind when I think of gothic country or dark western music.

Another great one! I recommend checking out Aquarian Blood from Memphis, TN. More folk, with a country vibe; definitely Southern gothic in spirit. Their song Alabama Daughter on Bending the Golden Hour (2021) is a good introduction.

i would rlly love to see you talk about autumn 🙏🙏🙏 the first time i listened to their album The Hating Tree my life CHNAGED it is soooo good the currently have 2.1k monthly listeners they are SUPERR underrated

I would love to see one of these videos dedicated to the neofolk scene and all the stories and contradictions behind it

They aren't Goth bands.

Awesome! Another band to check out is Timber Timbre

I would also have mentioned The Knoxville Girl by the Louvin Brothers in Act I and Mother of Earth by Gun Club in Act II. Gun Club introduced me to Country Music as a 16yo Punk Rocker in the mid-80s. Now I pluck the bass in a Honky Tonk / Western Swing band in Germany.
