ih8music Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Why is it a shame? Is it not a good thing to encourage people to clean up their act? Oh no, I agree it is. It's a "shame" in that that's what caused the friction in the band and led to his departure. The albums he was a part of are DBTs at their best, IMO. But yes, the end result is that Jason is sober now and making terrific music on his own. And Patterson/Cooley sound great on the new album (working my way through it now).

CortezTheKiller Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 With the penchant for bands to NEVER say anything bad about past or current band members and to gloss over problems, thing must have gotten pretty bad.Shonna apparently almost Yoko'ed the band. Good read... http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2014/02/drive-by-truckers-southern-storytelling.html That's nice article. So is this one from Grantland's Steven Hyden. http://grantland.com/features/drive-by-truckers-carry-on/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'm very late to the DBT party. Really liking English Oceans, very much. Been through the disc 2x today, and some extra listens to Primer Coat. Love that song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Heartbreak Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Can one of you DBT experts school me on which songs are sung by Cooley and which by Patterson on this new one? I downloaded it, so I don't have liner notes to help me. Apparently, one guy sometimes sings a song the other guy wrote, adding to the confusion. Thanks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cooley sings one of Patterson's songs on this new album ("Til He's Dead or Rises"). It's the only time in DBT's history this has happened. Otherwise, they sing what they have written. And it's easy to tell them apart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Patterson sings the others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Heartbreak Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Damn, you guys rule. That was fast! Thanks.I like Cooley as a singer much better than Hood, but it's an interesting balance. Good stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I remember going through the same exercise when I first discovered DBT. And when I first heard Uncle Tupelo and having to figure out Farrar and Tweedy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I remember going through the same exercise when I first discovered DBT. And when I first heard Uncle Tupelo and having to figure out Farrar and Tweedy. This reminds me completely of the UT experience. And Cooley reminds me a bit of Jay, only a little better, I think. Something about the inflection... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 This one is pretty damn nice.... the worst part of that article is the live photo selection they chose to run. Those are yours, aren't they. They have your feel to them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tinnitus photography Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 thanks Choo Choo. Mr H, they are pretty loud but it depends on where you are. i'd definitely bring 'em, but you may end up not needing them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shug Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I'm totally digging the horns on Shit Shots Count. Have they ever toured with a horn section? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Just picked up the album and got a wristband that gets me in to see them at twist and shout record store in Denver on record store day. Also gets me in line to get something signed. Thinking I will get a vinyl Dirty South for them to sign. At 45 I always feel a little douchey getting stuff signed but oh well. Want that one on vinyl anyways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anthony Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Am I going to need ear plugs, seeing these guys in a theatre setting? I saw them in a small-ish general admission type of place and I wish I had brought ear plugs. My ears were still ringing a day later. Very loud. (I know, I know. I am starting to sound like a geezer: you darn kids with your loud rock and/or roll music! get off my lawn!). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very loud. (I know, I know. I am starting to sound like a geezer: you darn kids with your loud rock and/or roll music! get off my lawn!).I'll be 50 this year, and have seen my share of loud shows. I have tinnitus, so I appreciate the heads up...especially since I don't wanna make it worse. Plenty of younger folks with it, too, and it is no laughing matter. Even standard disposable ear plugs beat having nothing at all! Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
