Best To Worst
Christian Williams
Lawrence, KA (US)
Built with Bones (2007)
The "Holy Grail" of all Gothic Country albums. Ultra-rare and unsurpassed. Amazing what you can achieve with just a Martin guitar, a zeppified Deering Goodtime banjo and a dark baritone. The album will stand the test of time under all circumstances.

Albuquerque, NM (US)
Through the Trees (1998)
On their third full-length album their twisted take on dark country music was fully developed. The songs deals with the tallest person ever and bipolar wards among other themes. The album have retained its strong luminosity over the years.

Sackcloth 'n' Ashes (1995)
16 Horsepower's debut album Sackcloth 'n' Ashes has an obvious reference to the Bible. The religious imagery is omnipresent. The mother of (almost) all “gothic country” bands honors the expectations with this groundbreaking album.

Sons of Perdition
Austin, TX (US)
The Kingdom is on Fire (2007)
The album made an indelible impression on me, especially the song "Blood in the Valley". Lonesome Wyatt from Those Poor Bastards was given a carte blanche to record a hellish sermon for the song. Wyatt decided to go the whole hog. There's absolute no holding back here.

Slackeye Slim
Mancos, CO (US)
El Santo Grial: La Pistola Piadosa (2011)
Slackeye Slim is ridiculously talented. The album was appointed “Album Of The Year" in 2011 and placed no. 9 in "The Greatest Underground Country Albums Of All Time" by the touchy but reputable site Saving Country Music (SCM). I rank it higher.

Those Poor Bastards
Madison, WI (US)
Satan is Watching (2008)
Without any doubt the hardest album on the list. Those Poor Bastards have several times raised the bar for evil doom country. With this album they push themselves a little bit further. This album definitely shines the brightest (no irony in this) in their extensive production.

Munly & the Lee Lewis Harlots
Denver, CO (US)
Munly & the Lee Lewis Harlots (2004)
Munly & the Lee Lewis Harlots is one of many constellations with Jay Munly. Munly & the Lee Lewis Harlots only released one album. But this album is a masterpiece. Nothing lasts forever. Even the longest, the most glittering reign must come to an end someday.

Reverend Glasseye and His Wooden Legs
Boston, MA (US)
Black River Falls (2001)
I found this song on YouTube, You can search for more by Reverend Glasseye.
Don't judge a book by its cover. So the saying goes. But, this is not true for album covers. An album cover should interact with the music. This debut album is precisely as good as the album cover indicates. Reverend Glasseye was too talented for his own good.

Blanche
Chicago, IL (US)
If We Can't Trust the Doctors... (2004)
Blanche's debut album is packed with attitude and self-confidence. With this masterpiece they truly live up to their mission statement: "To create, maintain and extend throughout the community high standards of musical standards".

Strawfoot
St. Louis, MI (US)
Chasing Locusts (2007)
Strawfoot came, flourished and disbanded. Strawfoot stayed around long enough to release two exquisite albums. They are both out-of-print and extremely rare. The debut album shines slightly more brightly.
