Panopticon's Kentucky is the best recent country\bluegrass with a side of black metal. This album is about this one time coal miners sang hymns, cooperated and took weapons to defend themselves against both blood-sucking corporates and the national guard. If there'd be the word 'based' in Merriam-Webster, it would refer to these fights and that album.

You are welcome c: Have a great journey.

As a side-note: (1) this is a one-man band, yeah, he arranged and played it all himself, but you can also see lives with other musicians invited; (2) black metal has a lot of ties with nazi circles, and Panopticon is one of the bands that explicitly does not, so it's super safe to listen and support.

Beer is good, city is scary, I'll throw a tantrum if you bring wine to the prairie.
