So I just heard this violent old country song by Jimmie Rodgers and it really made an impression on me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=078MsA9m2t0
Can we get a thread going with other old songs about drinking, fighting, and killing or with newer songs with a similar feel?
Here's another by Jimmie Rodgers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa_a7cUjC4o

I fuckin love Jimmy Rodgers.
Monitoring this thread.
anything by Skip James probably
he was a pimp
he was a murderer
and then he got a penectomy and got even angrier
Here's an Irish classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlWTASnnft4
And here's Old Crow Medicine Show with a good old fashion murder song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9h7zpJSiS20

Lol. And he was also a Baptist preacher. Interesting how those things work together.

Old blues singers are the hardest motherfuckers to make music in America. Their grandparents were slaves and their parents were called niggers by half the country. Imagine being raised with that history and how dark it can make you sound.

Yessss. That's what I want to hear. I have to go to bed, but I'll leave you with some Mississippi John Hurt. Hopefully there'll be some more great stuff here in the morning:

It's pretty wild

Glad you approve. They're the best Irish band, imo. But the Clancy Brothers are good too. You could pretty much fill the thread up with songs from this album.
