The song is Dark Night, by the Blasters.
And I’m not sure if Rockabilly/Surf is the right category of the song, so I held off putting that in the Title. I just found the song on my Tarantino Soundtrack Album, and I want to get more music in a similar style/genre.

The song is:
Dark Night (Youtube Video) by The Blasters (From the Dusk till Dawn Soundtrack, and the Hard Line Album by The Blasters).

The song “Dark Night” by the Blasters is just really awesome sounding to me, and I don’t know what genre it really could be. Wikipedia hints that it has touches of Rockabilly plus the Blues, but I’m not sure.
I just really like the song as a very dark menacing song in terms of lyrics, but with a really upbeat guitar/vocals through it, and I’m not sure if that applies to just that song, or if that’s the “style” of The Blasters.

I REALLY would like to hear songs similar to the Blaster’s Dark Night, and any help would be appreciated as I REALLY dig that song. Gracias for all and any Help!

My first thought upon hearing that song was of Southern Culture on the Skids.

They’re not quite in the same style, but you could also check out Tarbox Ramblers. They’ve got a song with an wonderfully menacing guitar line called “Ashes to Ashes” (it’s the last song on this album), but it’s not upbeat.

P.W. Long, who also records with the band Reelfoot (or P.W. Long’s Reelfoot), is kinda sorta in that same rockabilly, Southern blues rock vibe. (He’s playing solo in that clip, but the song on the album has a full band behind it.)

Ack, can’t edit! I wanted to say, on second thought, that’s not a good PW Long clip to sell people on him and his music. Oops. I can’t find any clips of him with his band, though, dang it.
