The YouTube journey this suggestion took me on has made me realise that what I mean by "dark country" is actually Americana. Found some promising stuff, thanks.

I love this record. Gunslinger ballads. Some of the songs crack me up. Im not sure this is what you are looking for but i feel like putting it here.
Steve Earle
Any and all hank williams!
Outlaw country. I like that shit.
More recent stuff that goes under the radar - Felice Brothers
Love this song:

This is exactly the kind of stuff I love. Slightly campy tails o' the west.

That was great. Coming from a similar sort of place as Tom Waits' rootsy stuff.

I've got a Felice Brothers record, but I just never got into it.

Glad I hit your sweet spot! I really enjoy the Felice Brothers. Their self titled record and celebration, FL are both pretty incredible.

Steve Earle is great. Should probably have his own thread.

I think I've got the self-titled. It may just have got lost in the shuffle - every now and then I get some free time and grab a bunch of albums and see what sticks, so I don't give everything much time to grab me.

Andrew Combs. His album "Worried Man" is an absolute must.

Yeah, because there's NO WAY any good country music was created in this Millenium... Anywhere...
