Seems a bit over the top, but it's the truth.

Not officially.

If that's Patterson's dad on bass, he's a pretty damn good.

Yes. The bass is awesome. The guitar rips your gut out too. I like it better than either of Mr. Isbell's.

I agree. Killers and Stars struck me as a second-rate attempt at recreating Nebraska. Murdering Oscar blew me away on 1st listen. Has some rockers, some ballads, and great songwriting. It sounds a lot like a DBT record for the most part. However, it sounds like a top-notch Truckers record. I'm a bit surprised he kept some of this material to himself. Then again, it's been sitting there for a long time. I know the band came close to breaking up right around the time when he wrote and recorded much, if not all, of the material. Either way, it's a damn fine album.

Blows the 2 Jason records out of the water.

It's fucking amazing.

Right in the middle too. Great placement. Great song. Great rocker on an otherwise folkie/country album.

Agreed. However, "When the Wheels Don't Move" breaks up the mellow vibe quite nicely.

The slide guitar work on "Jukebox of Steel" is top-notch.

I checked out the samples and will most definitely be downloading this in 3 days when my eMusic downloads refresh. Thanks for the tip/info/etc. NP:

Basically Jay took a bizarre tabloid story and turned it into a great song.

With or without the pirate get-up?
