Worth, Texas on Easter Sunday, 1948, alt-country demigod Johnny Dowd spent most of his formative years in rural Oklahoma. After a stint in the army, a nasty divorce and a 20-year treadmill of odd-jobs (he now co-owns a moving company in Ithaca, NY), Dowd began penning the kind of Gothic murder ballads more associated with Nick Cave than Hank Williams -- double homicide, bloody car wrecks, and Judas-like betrayals (spiced with more than just a hint of gallows humor) are just a few of the themes that fire his violent first-person narratives. And though his music features a number of baroque, carnival-like flourishes, it's Dowd's harrowing, world-weary voice and sparse, under-amped guitar that truly breathe life into his characters. His first two albums, The Wrong Side of Memphis(1997) and Pictures From Life's Other Side(1999), feature the kinds of marginal characters you'd find in the works of Flannery O’Conner -- but don't bank on reading about any of them in your high school lit class any time soon.     Johnny Dowd Just Like A Dog MP3 Alt-Country A peculiar, Tom Waits-inspired bit of junk rock with a whirring, misterioso synth and lyrics that will chill to the bone.
