...for the first time right now.

wife is out, i'm catching a buzz with vicodin and scotch. and DAMN, i'm only at the second song...and i already want to change around my schmoo (just kidding shmoo) top 20.
wow...this is good. song 3 just started...'the day john henry died'. fuckin' good.

mental note: when loogar speaks, listen.

ok...does this thing keep getting better with each song, or what?

or am i getting more drunk?

Wait til you get to the open Buford Pusser 3 song set.

"Goddamn Lonely Love" was the best closing song of the year.


Ask Loogar who gave him his first DBT disc.


Mmmmm.....Newcastle.

<---downloading decoration day and southern rock opera over at ss right now. shhh...don't tell anyone.

hey rick derris, why don't you head down from ft. lupton to erie and pick up some lui's take out on the way???

do they have more than one vocalist in the band?
'carl perkins' cadillac' vocalist sounds different.

3 different vocalists

Hood, Isbell, Stroker Ace

Nice dude. I was only out there from March to June. I'm sure it's cold as shit by now. If I was heading over to Erie it would be on my way to Vail or something. Or to Boulder to get shitty.

<----Jealous you have so many world class ski resorts nearby.


Oh yeah, Decoration Day is actually my favorite DBT album. Start to finish it's tough to fuck with.

I have recently had to alter my favorite band answer from "Opeth Period" to "American Band ?..Drive By Truckers...Foreign Band ?...Opeth". This is due to the fact that IMO they are the only 2 bands that have released 3 consecutive outright masterpieces (well in Opeths case it is 5) but still DBT are hands down the best band in the land right now.

This past New Year's Eve I saw em at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta and decided that they were the best live band in America after the 4 hour marathon they put on and that was the 5th or 6th time seeing them. Saw them twice this year and it was only confirmation.

ok, i have to change my avatar. i'm getting upset looking at my ugly mug too much.

and this 'cottonseed' song is awesome. this album is just made for drinking by yourself.

Yeah, when they played "Get on the Plane" at midnite, I almost wept...It was seriously a defining monent in my life.

When they played "People Who Died" as a closer...I openly went NUTZ!

Benny did give me Southern Rock Opera when we worked for Siegelman...he helped create the monster you know.

"marry me" is going on the wife's xmas mix.

I got it last week. It gets better with each listen and I think my favourite at this point is 'Sands of Iwo Jima'.

But it's way to long. I've said it before and I'll say it again there is no reason for an album to be over 45 minutes long.

It wouldn't have done any harm to cut 20 minutes off it.

I couldn't even begin to pick a favorite DBT album. Own everything now except for their first 2.

I was reading on Patterson Hood's website that they're in the process of remastering their early stuff for re-release in Spring '05.

I went to both shows they played here in Richmond this weekend and was fucking blown away (again).

Chase, did you (or anyone else) hit either of these shows?

nah, didn't go. not really a fan.

Mike Cooley sings that one. That's probably my favorite track on Dirty South. It made my Year End mix.

Jason Isbell, Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley are the 3 songwriters in the band. They usually sing the songs they write.

Hmmm...dammit, now I wanna go to the record store and buy this.

This will only lead you to be louder, dumber and drunker than you usually are.
