AND DAMN ALL ELSE !DARK COUNTRY
A rare name for the Black Land of Mordor, a term used in fact only by Frodo Baggins. It is effectively a loose translation of the name Mordor, in which the element mor means 'black' or 'dark', while dor relates to a land or country.

Sounds Like: Dark Country is the bastard offspring of anyone who ever wrote,dreamed or recorded a murder ballad.Can you imagine Johnny Cash and Steve Earle in a gunfight with Nick Cave and Tom Waits?it doesnt matter,because we won !Currently a duo of Samuel and Jimmy James, an albums worth of material
entitled "Tunes From The Dark Side",is in the can
and ready to creep out of a freshly dug grave soon!The songs run the gamut from trad country styled songs of love and despair,
through to dark and brooding tracks
dealing with murder,stalking,alcoholism,burial,
death,witchcraft ,guns,and even more murder.Not your thing you say? Too bad!Consider yourself virtually murdered!The brand new video for the song
"First Degree Murder" filmed in the Australian outback is on our My Space page right nowIt features Samuel,his soon to be dead and buried teenage bride,and a cast of very few survivors.
Check it out at your peril.We trust you will hate it. Thank You kindly.Welcome To The Dark Side!JD
