Maybe not Dark Country, but definitely Americana and a duo. It’s an interesting style. Not to get off the covers (though this group does covers).

The original song is Primus, in the style of duo de twang
Here is a different one
They also do a Man in The Box and Stayin Alive cover in this style.

Other than your cover what are some examples of dark country you’d recommend?

this one is not really dark country, but I’ve made a few darker covers : Dark country | BASS COVERS ON THE COUCH
also we have a thread about this : Dark country / modern bluegrass
thanks Brian but I don’t know what is this obsession with band t-shirts ; I just wear my normal clothes … sometimes it’s a Slayer t-shirt but sometimes it’s just a jersey 
anyway thank you all for your kind words ! very appreciated as always

Excellent bass line @terb! I’m getting to like more dark country after listening to your covers.
Good job!

Yes, but it is not really a cover if the original artist is playing it is it?

sure, this is the hard question of the auto-cover … for example if I wrote a song for a band where I was playing the guitar, and now I record a different bass line over it, is it a cover or a composition, or both ?

Depends on if you or your label hold the rights to the song

Yeah, in legalese that would be the fact,
but
in the common sense world (very often contradicted by the legal world), if Les Claypool writes the song and plays / records it with Primus, then sits down and plays it on acoustic bass, is it a cover or is it just unplugged.
Or do we consider all unplugged performances covers of a band by the band that did the original?

this is the gray zone of covers I guess 
but if an artist plays the bass line of its composition unplugged , it’s not a cover in my opinion. it’s just a different version of the song.
it’s like Helter Skelter : I don’t think it’s really a cover when it’s played by P.McCartney

Hmm, in this case it is a variation of the song, played a bit differently with an entirely different guitar part, tempo and style…not sure lol

Here’s my cover of “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” by one of my favorite bands – The Band. The song is about the American Civil War, sung from the perspective of a Confederate (southern) soldier. I’m not a big civil war history buff, but I do love this song.
(P Bass with flats, direct to interface. Bass is boosted in mix)
In memory of Levon Helm, 1940-2012

Awesome cover of one of my favorite Southern Rock songs @bjams. You did a great job of keeping the rhythm and staying with the chords.
I’m glad to see so much Southern Rock and Dark Country being covered. Those are some great genres of music that many people don’t appreciate.

You can boost that bass even more, it’s not very audible on crescendo parts…as for playing, it seems like you nailed it.
