CortezTheKiller Report post Posted November 18, 2017 Technically that line came from Patti Smith.Patterson credits her. I have never believed a song could change the world. But perhaps a song can provide an outlet for emotion, a tonic for the troops. Maybe a song can be a platform to launch our dreams from, a source of a little light to warm up our darkest nights. One more reason to raise our fists into the air and quote Patti Smith: “Love each other, motherfuckers!” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

choo-choo-charlie Report post Posted November 20, 2017 I don’t know, not sure I like the new song. Seems like he’s trying to be too literal and direct — I always thought Patterson’s best work were his story-songs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was surprised to learn about this. http://www.drivebytruckers.com/records-TheNewOK.html Yes. Another excellent record from DBT. They are on a roll with 2 great records in a year. The current (& longest lasting) lineup is really strong. Great cover of "The KKK Took My Baby Away" on "The New OK". I'm not able to buy many CDs as I'm on a fixed income now but I splurged & got this one. No regrets. DBT are one of my favorite bands, about equal to Wilco. I've had a bit of dialog with Patterson Hood via email & he's a really nice guy. We bonded over Midnight Oil during the last Oils tour. The last 4 DBT studio records are all keepers. All 3 shows from last years Heathen's Homecoming are available online. Epic collection & worth picking up the downloads. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was surprised to learn about this. http://www.drivebytruckers.com/records-TheNewOK.html Mine came in the mail on Friday. It's great, but not IMO as strong as The Unraveling -- only one Cooley song. DBT, Wilco and YLT are my three favorite "current" bands. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yaz Rock Report post Posted December 24, 2020 Yeah, oddly, the digital release was a few months ago but the physical release was this week. That seems to be the direction the music industry is moving in. I echo all the above sentiments. Additionally, even when Cooley's writing contributions are minimal, the songs he submits are out-of-the-park great. DBT are pretty much the only band I listen to that are putting out topical songs of the times right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ih8music Report post Posted December 26, 2020 Perhaps not quite as strong as The Unraveling, The New OK is still an excellent album. Love the Ramones cover, to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuckrh Report post Posted December 27, 2020 If you ever get a chance to see The Dimmer Twins (Hood & Cooley) do it. The show I saw was fantastic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
