This is the latest in our series from the legendary White Whale label! With the band featuring the first (rather good!) recorded work of Don Johnson of "Miami Vice" fame! With 10 of 11 tracks written by producers John Carter and Tim Gilbert, the duo most famous for writing "Incense and Peppermints" for the Strawberry Alarm Clock, and producing the legendary Rainy Daze.

Remastered from original tapes in the usual perfectionist Rev-Ola style plus full historical linernotes featuring interviews with band members, unpublished photos and all!! This is a must for all West Coast pop rock, Powerpop, Country rock...and I suppose Grateful Dead and Don Johnson fans!....this is a seriously good album never before been on CD anywhere!

I have and wholeheartedly recommend this album.

"The Dickey Betts Band"

Jesus, why does Dumpjack not have THESE rekkids? I'm scared.

They were burned years ago for fear they would incite unsuspecting men to commit arson, rape and murder, all at the same time.

[cimg=300]

Betts, Jack Bruce, Rick Derringer and Mick Taylor. Was this show sponsored by The Can Lao, Frank Lucas and a consortium of Heroin Dealers? Can you even FATHOM what that might sound like?

It's probably a 2 hour long 12 bar blues jam called "The Nod" b/w "The Dope Fiend Lean"

I nodded off just reading the cover.

DBT was pretty loose this past Friday night. Much less polished than their last two Nashville shows I attended (Halloween '08 at the Ryman and '07 at Cannery Ballroom). Per usual at DBT shows, I got black-out drunk and threw cans of beer on the floor much to femdisco's dismay (at least I didn't thrown them in the crowd). They played a good chunk of The Big To-Do, which I dug. David Hood sat-in for 3 songs in the middle of the set, including a decent cover of "Respect Yourself". "Buttholeville" was pretty damn incredible as it was at the tail-end of my PBR tall-boy consumption. Nowadays, it's pretty rare that I can sit through a band for 2+ hours, but with DBT it's a pleasure.

The going rate around the DBT board is that Cooley is quitting cigs and drinking, which might be the reason why some shows aren't as tight--ironic as that may be.

DBT on Squidbillies tonight @ midnight.

Others to be featured: Lucinda Williams, Todd Snider, Gillian Welch, David Rawlings, Rhett Miller, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Hayes Carll

That Squidbillies episode was pretty fuckin' great. I love that show.

They had a really nice Jason & The Scorchers theme song last week, too.

The Blog RedTelephone66 upped the album today for those not scared off by or curious because of the Don Johnson involvement. You can find it here I would say Dumpjack is the only one who will probably download but I'd guess he'd probably have already found it.

Surprise! New Thanksgiving single:

Quote:

The Truckers continue on their quirky exclusive vinyl release path with this wonderful 10”.... just in time for holiday season, and holiday themed!

Sleeve is illustrated by Wes Freed, longtime Truckers packaging artist.

Brand new, unreleased songs, never-before-heard to be released on the forthcoming full-length ‘Go-Go Boots’, due February 2011 on ATO Records. The A-side is the perfect quirky Patterson Hood composition, surely to attract collectors and fans, and bring them deep into the Holiday mood, darkness, strangeness that is Drive-By Truckers, and of course, post-Thanksgiving food-coma, pre-Christmas jitters.

Each record includes download card so consumers can redeem the songs.

Limited pressing of 2500.

Audiophile vinyl

TRACK LISTING
SIDE A
The Thanksgiving Filter
SIDE B
I Used To Be A Cop

Also, this confirms that a new record is definitely coming. :rawk:

I love those Eddie Hinton covers ("Where's Eddie" and "Everybody Needs Love") but wish they would've switched 'em out for two new songs. Oh - and diggin' the Wes Freed cover art as usual.

Flying Rabbit · **Posted:** Wed Nov 10, 2010 11:04 am

Yeah, there's a handful of songs they do live on occasion I would've rather had. The song that's getting the most attention over on Three Dimes Down is definitely "Pulaski", which is a great song. Glad its finally hitting the wax. I pre-ordered my single, so I'm hoping it arrives shortly after Black Friday. Though, as I learned with the last single, there isn't the ravenous record-buying DBT fanbase I presume there to be.

Next show I'm doing is NYE in NYC. Opening act? Yeah, a burlesque/carnival/circus act. Kinda a letdown, but I'm hoping for some guests to pop in hopefully. They play Philly New Year's day, so we're considering just popping down 95 to Philly, then on home. It could be my lost weekend.

They fucking BRING it for NYE. And in NYC - that sounds amazing.

Used To Be A Cop is such a typical Patterson song, it almost doesn't need any comMEHnt.

Quoted for truth, though sometimes these end up being my favorites like years later after the fact.

Saw em' last night.

Decent turn out, must have been 1,500 - 2,000 people there even though I've never seen or heard anyone in Glasgow reference DBT's in anyway. Most of them were OLD though including a man who looked roughly about 97 and for some reason was dressed like a Gestapo agent.

Pretty good show overall except they absolutely murdered 'Sands of Iwo Jima'. Oh and there was a huge wildebeest style migration to the piss trough during one of Shona's songs.

I didn't recognize quite a lot of the songs so they were either playing a lot of stuff from pre Decoration Day or new songs. They definitely played Used To Be A Cop.

Mike Cooley had some difficulty understanding the local hecklers Glaswegians accents. He stopped a song half way through to ask "What the fuck did you just say?" When the heckler repeated he said "I have no fucking idea what you just said" and then started up again.

Paterson Hood, the worlds most enthusiastic wookie, said the new album is out in February. You may already now this.

I tried to bootleg the show but when I played it back it sounded approximately like this "YXYXYSUUUSSSSSSMMMXMXXMMMXSBSSKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!".

Star of the night though was my better half who despite suffering from terrible asthma hung on until the final note of the encore before collapsing. Much appreciated Jeuds! That's what I call commitment to her man.

Flying Rabbit · **Posted:** Thu Nov 11, 2010 5:01 pm

A few friends are over there. I know they're definitely going to the Manchester date tonight (I think), and traveling a little bit following the band. They are uberfans.
