Murder By Death.

'In Bocca al Lupo', by Murder By Death, recommended to me by my friend Zack, is a terrific blend of southwestern rock styles. The band clearly derives its strength from the legacy of dark, strange and angry men of generations past: A bit of Tom Waits, a hefty dose of Nick Cave, and a whole lot of Johnny Cash. In fact, the lead singer sounds so much like Johnny at times that it's just downright eerie. One track on the disc really made me think of Elliott Brood, which I posted about earlier. If you're into the dark side of the west, definitely give these albums a listen.
