You might consider Texan Cody Jinks the Leonard Cohen of modern outlaw country or the Waylon Jennings of moody singer/songwriters. Since the late 2000s, he's brought reflective lyrics, a way with minor-key tunes taken at a measured pace and a crater-deep voice to the country scene. Jinks has long operated as a DIY artist, but tunes like the emotionally complex ballad "I'm Not the Devil" helped break him through to the upper rungs of the mainstream country charts in 2016. Since then, he's turned out tender character studies ("William and Wanda") and ominous rumblings ("Which One I Feed") alike.
