found this tonight and I think that folks here will like it--very Americana grass stuff from many unknown and marginally known artists, but then there's Kristofferson, Cash ("Personal Jesus" recorded at the end of his line), Civil Wars, Van Zandt, Waits and others.
While I see Steve Earle, Yoakum, and especially Drive By Truckers as "southern Gothic" in the literary tradition of O'Connor, Welty, Lee, Faulkner, Thomas Wolfe, this is a good mix.
Cool version of Gallows Pole
I asked Steve Earle about his influence from Southern Gothic literature but didn't get a real good answer. He was tired. Another time. Love to talk to Cooley and Hood about it, and Isbel.
going to read Absolom Absolom now.
