Sugar Mountain
Johnny Dowd (1948, Fort Worth, Texas) is een Amerikaanse singer-songwriter die bekendstaat om zijn donkere, eigenzinnige mix van country, blues en experimentele rock. Hij groeide op in Ithaca, New York, en brak relatief laat door met zijn debuutalbum 'Wrong Side of Memphis' (1997). Zijn muziek wordt vaak geplaatst binnen de alternatieve country, maar zijn stijl is rauw, grillig en moeilijk in één genre te vangen.
Dowds teksten zijn doordrenkt van zwarte humor en behandelen thema’s als religie, schuld en sterfelijkheid. Met zijn intense liveoptredens en compromisloze aanpak bouwde hij een trouwe cultstatus op, vooral in de VS en Europa, als een buitenbeentje dat de grenzen van americana voortdurend oprekt.
