They are broadcasting a live set from SXSW and it sounds GREAT. Cannot wait until A Blessing and a Curse comes out.
Atl. crew will love this quote from Patterson: "Most of our records have been long and sprawling things that last an hour, no record should last more than an hour... we were shooting for the magical 43min. of Let It Bleed, but we didn't do that, we hit about 46minutes."

If I had Yail's set up, I'd switch over. I have Springsteen Live 1975-1985 at top volume, and the windows open. May grab my book and go sit outside.

Decoration Day
Southern Rock Opera
Dirty South

Your tastes are hard to pin down, Ryan. But of that list, I would just go in order.

But if not, listen to "The Day John Henry Died" off of Dirty South -- I think you will like that.

nah, give me the best one of those 4. I've already heard A Blessing and a Curse.

i think the thing that really bothers me is the voice. I know I'm probably wrong, but the drawl sounds deliberate, as if he's saying "don't forget! we're from the south!" silly I know, but that's my major hangup.

There's 3 dudes singing on the new one and the last 2.

It depends on what you want to hear. SRO is a sprawling 2 disc rock opera about growing up in the South and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Decoration Day is darker, and Bloor's fave.

Dirty South seemed a bit more accessible to me, and that may be because Isbell adds a new dimension to the band.

The new one is sheer beauty.

But, judging by what YOU like, I'd say Dirty South.

i heard from the manager at plan 9 that they are opening for robert randolph in charlottesville and on the 19th (day after record release) are performing on conan. he's mentioned in the cd booklet and rightly so.
i think i'll go to the one in charlottesville. well hopefully.
