"Gravity's Gone" might be the high water mark of the DBTs entire career. Cooley's definitely their MVP.

I know nothing of Virosa, but I think I'm going to check it out now.

At first listen, a Blessing and a Curse underwhelmed me. The Dirty South was a raucaus record from start to finish and I worshipped the DBT's energy that seemed endless on The Dirty South. A Blessing and a Curse felt like a hangover and I wasn't ready to stop the party.

However, when I relistened to a Blessing and a Curse months later, I was suprised at how much liked it. It's a strong collection of songs and some of the better moments of DBTs career (Rads maybe right about Gravity's Gone).

I'll be checking out Viarosa after this post, definitely sounds like it's up my alley.

Thanks for these, I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the list.

Did you just scale the images in horizontally for these? You should keep them the way they were.

All these side-scrollers either need to get bigger monitors or stop complaining about how the internet looks on their phones or tiny laptops.

The line you can draw from "Women Without Whiskey" to "Gravity's Gone" ain't straight but its a hell of a line.

What about the song "Daylight'? One of my two favorites off that album, the other being Gravity's Gone.

Good stuff Konsty.

I'm still least likely to pull out "Blessing" than any other Truckers album (although I do like it) , they are easily my band of the decade.

Viarosa slipped by me, but the description has definitely piqued my interest. Thank you, sir.
