The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I did a search for "country" and it didn't come up with anything, so I figured I'd just start this (since asking you guys for good rock music suggestions was so successful).
I'm actually just looking for good dark alternative country music suggestions. Moody, narrative, semi-mythical "country death" music. Things like Ghost Riders in the Sky. Similarly dusty and character-rich vibe as Tom Waits. World-weary. Seedy. Cowboys fighting the devil. That sort of thing.

This is more "Americana" than just country, but: Charlie Haden was a legendary jazz bassist who died just a few weeks ago. Although he became famous for being at the forefront of the jazz avant garde as part of Ornette Coleman's band and the Liberation Music Orchestra, his roots were in Americana. In 2008 he recorded an album with his friends and family called Rambling Boy. It's a really beautiful collection of country, folk and bluegrass songs. The whole thing is a joy to listen to, and has the breezy laid-back feel of a family BBQ. My favorite (recent) country album. It lacks the darkness you're looking for, Abnorman, but it's really worth listening to.

Any ideas?
Check the lyrics -- no gangsta rap has topped this one in my book.
I think Nick Cave or someone like that covered this song. The original is better. If you like this, you'd like the rest of their stuff.
