  1. anyone listen to these guys? they have been a local hit around here for a while now but with all the press for their latest record, harwire healing, i thought that some of yall might have been turned on. Hardwire healing is pretty good but not quite as good as red dust rising.

  2. Flagpole has word that, although the ink's still drying on the contracts, the Drive-By Truckers are scheduling a three-night stint at the Melting Point on Apr. 26, 27 and 28. That's six days of shows from two bands with rabid fans! The Trucker shows will be mainly acoustic affairs and will kick off the band's "The Dirt Underneath" tour; tickets aren't on sale yet, but will surely go fast.

     

    Anyone know anything more about this dirt underneath tour?

  3. just saw these

  4. thought i'd pass this along. supposedly there are some more southern dates to follow.

     

    MARCH

    06 Tue Athens, GA 40 Watt Club

    07 Wed Athens, GA 40 Watt Club

    08 Thu Asheville, NC The Orange Peel

    10 Sat Sunrise, FL Langerado Festival

  5. Any idea who these retailers are? I'd hate to get it somewhere and then find out I could've gone somewhere else or ordered it online and gotten the bonus DVD.

     

     

    yeah, not really sure. i was told it was certain indie stores and not so much the big box stores, there is nothing on there site about this. i figure that it can't be too selective since the oz music here in tuscaloosa had the package with the bonus dvd.

  6. at select stores the dvd will include a bonus acoustic performance dvd. not sure what the rule about posting things in the forum is, but if anyone wants a sendspace link to the tracks send me a pm or tell me its alright to post here.

  7. i remember some discussion of this album here before it came out. just listened to it in its entirety for the first time last night. i thought that it was generally pretty good, not much different from dando's other stuff but nice to see him coming out with some new music.

  8. no offense taken here. they certainly do bring the METAL live but i think that their discs are great as well. As far as Decoration Day goes, i think it's a great record. Check out Southern Rock Opera and The Dirty South, although it sounds like they just might not suit your ear.

  9. Americana Awards Honor Young, McMurtry

    Veteran rocker Neil Young, singer/songwriter James McMurtry win Americana Music Awards

     

    NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sep. 23, 2006

    (AP) Singer and songwriter James McMurtry took home album of the year and song of the year honors, and veteran rocker Neil Young was named artist of the year Friday at the fifth annual Americana Honors and Awards.

     

    The awards, which honor American music based on the country, folk and bluegrass tradition, also recognized the Drive-By Truckers as duo/group of the year and guitarist Kenny Vaughan as instrumentalist of the year.

     

    McMurtry, 44, won album of the year for "Childish Things" and song of the year for "We Can't Make It Here Anymore," a pointed commentary on the economy, war and other issues.

     

    The Austin, Texas-based singer is the son of "Lonesome Dove" author Larry McMurtry and credits his father with exposing him to country music as a boy.

     

    Young, 60, is one of rock's most influential figures _ and one of its most erratic, shifting from tender folk ballads to feedback-drenched grunge, electronica, rockabilly, blues and full-blown country.

     

    Last year, he released "Prairie Wind," a country-flavored album recorded in Nashville, and this year put out "Living with War," a collection of protest songs that included the blunt "Let's Impeach the President."

     

    Held at the historic Ryman Auditorium, the awards show was hosted by Jim Lauderdale and featured appearances by Elvis Costello, Rosanne Cash, Rodney Crowell, Charlie Daniels, Vince Gill and many others.

     

    Crowell received a lifetime achievement award for song writing and Alejandro Escovedo received one for performing.

     

    Besides instrumentalist of the year, Vaughan also was honored with the new lifetime achievement award for instrumentalist.

     

    Daniels became the fifth recipient of the Spirit of Americana Free Speech Award, while the family of songwriter Mickey Newbury accepted the President's Award, traditionally given in posthumous recognition to an artist for outstanding career achievement.

     

    The awards were presented by the Americana Music Association. It is in part a reaction to slicker mainstream country music that grew in popularity in the 1990s, the organization said.
