Soul Goth

Tags: country, blues, americana, goth, playlist

Howdy folks.

Some of you will be pleased to find that this is a ~music post of mine not about emo rap, hahaha.

Across the past six months I've found myself infatuated with a new sound I can't quite put the finger on. These songs have something in common, in spirit. And that's what I'm after.

Here's a little playlist I've assembled under the title of Soul Goth. If you have any other recommendations, give me everything you got.

Or if I'm describing something what already exists; let me know.

Yalla.

"God's Gonna Cut You Down" x Johnny Cash

"Pray I Won't Wake Up" x Honky Tonk Hustlas

"No Sugar In My Coffee" x Caught A Ghost

"In A Week" x Hozier

"In Hell I'll Be In Good Company" x The Dead South

"Loud And Heavy" x Cody Jinks

"The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie" x Colter Wall

"When Jesus Comes" x Uncle Sinner

"The Devil Had a Hold of Me" x Gillian Welch

"Fingers To The Bone" x Brown Bird

"The Piano Has Been Drinking" x Tom Waits

"Graves" x Whiskey Shivers

"Burn The Witch" x Shawn James

    I believe you are, and you even got pretty close in your naming of it: Gothic Country And here is the custom Top Album Chart for the genre. You might find some more stuff in there you like.

        LOL np... and how? Probably because I consume a lot of content, have a pretty good memory and way too much free time.. ;) p.s. A lot of "regular" alt-country artists have that same gothic sound...

        p.s. A lot of "regular" alt-country artists have that same gothic sound too. E.g. The Civil Wars (a personal favorite of mine).

      I'll put in a huge recommendation for Munly & The Lee Lewis Harlots right near the top of that chart. That's one of my favorite albums and is as dark and goth as you could ever want from country...

      I'll put in a huge recommendation for Munly & The Lee Lewis Harlots right near the top of that chart. That's one of my favorite albums and is as dark and goth as you could ever want from country music. Insanely vivid lyricism and tracks are much more distinct from each other than most of the rest of the genre, in my experience.

      Genuinely one of my favorite albums...some real filthy grimy shit.

      I fucking love William Elliot Whitmore. His KEXP session from 10 years ago is the first I ever watched and was what made me fall in love with the station/channel. William Elliott Whitmore - Hell...

      William Elliott Whitmore - Hell Or High Water
      William Elliott Whitmore - Old Devils
      William Elliott Whitmore - Hard Times & Interview

      I am definitely going to have to check out the rest of those recommendations. Thanks!

      p.s. Was it you who posted the Orville Peck video a while ago? That shit was great and I plowed through a lot of his other songs after that. :)
