@adippered,
Bit early in the morning for me, so my thinking may be a bit fuzzy, but here goes:

1a Country men go wild when its dark outside D?n?a?? (7)
men + go wild (indicates anagram) when its dark - outside (surround another word) - men + dark - DENMARK = a country

15a Escaping Prisoner in disguise? Bad Sign A?s?o?d??? (10)
prisoner = con, in (within another word) disguise (indicates anagram) bad sign + con ABSCONDING = escaping

16a Contrarily, models reply with verse enclosed ?e?v?r?e?y (10)
models (indicates anagram) reply - perly, with verse enclosed - PERVERSELY = contrarily

64a Mal's priest is dancing in planes wake ??i?s?r?a? (10)
mal's priest - is dancing (indicates anagram) - SLIPSTREAM = plane's wake

4d The spanish reversed embargo on republic ??b???n (7)
'the' in Spanish - el, reversed - le + embargo - ban, + on = LEBANON = a republic

57d Sadly cannot go around street that's endless C????a?t (8)
sadly (indicates anagram) cannot - go around (surround another word) - street - st - CONSTANT = that's endless

Hope that helps.
