I've been meaning to post this somewhere, I watched Isbell's JazzFest set on AXS TV, it was fantastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold as Gasoline Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Should be a very interesting DBT "reunion"! Congrats on being able to attend. I've seen Jason a few times now, and he and his band are excellent live, so I would expect a raucous and proficient show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Now that his records are better than theirs (personal opinion) I guess they need him back even if for only one day. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Well I was not trying to get in an argument with anyone. Still plenty to recommend the Truckers but Southeastern kicks ass, that's all. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Southeastern does kick a lot of ass. Track-for-track, I'd take it over English Oceans -- but I do also enjoy that album quite a bit. It's great to hear Mike Cooley getting more songs on the records. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I have to admit I have not bought the last few DBT records. I saw them recently though. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I have to admit I have not bought the last few DBT records. I saw them recently though. LouieB I am new to the DBT over the last several months ( found my way to them after listening to Southeastern) so I don't have years of experience with them although I do have most of the catalogue now, I think the new album is excellent. I don't know what their fan base thinks, but I love it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 fanbase says EO is a return to form...probably the strongest record since Brighter Than Creation's Dark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I don't know if I'd call it a return to form, mainly because they've evolved through very distinct eras with different sounds and lineups -- so to which point does it return? Not sure. I know there are a few folks here who refer to The Dirty South as their last great record; others say BTCD is the last great Truckers record, although that record - which is terrific - also was more than a little bloated. It could have had 4-6 songs trimmed off and been a true classic. I'd say top-to-bottom EO is probably their strongest and most balanced since BTCD. EO is definitely more muscular than Go Go Boots but it still has some quiet moments. I really liked the stripped-down approach of GGB record and enjoyed hearing them explore another side of themselves. But I do dig the sound of the new record quite a bit. I first discovered DBT around the time of Decoration Day/Dirty South and have been a big fan ever since. As they moved out of the Isbell era and began exploring more styles and dynamics in their music, I think they became more tuneful and even more interesting. Don't get me wrong -- I love the three-guitar assault of the old days -- but the Truckers of today can still bring it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 yeah, by return to form i really meant return to quality. GGB and TBTD were pretty spotty....EO is a ton better. Decoration Day is my fave DBT record, but The Dirty South is not far behind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chez Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I would give several body parts to see this show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Just picked up a copy of Isbell's Here We Rest. It's pretty good...not sure he could retain my interest for an entire album at one sitting, but the guy is decent. At times he reminds me a bit of Brent Mydland of the Grateful Dead in his vocal range and inflections, oddly enough. I will dig more into his stuff and see what I think. I'm guessing Southeastern is the one people recommend the most. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not necessarily sure it will do it for you, but I have only heard one other record he has one and it was uneven at best. Southeastern has stood up to repeated listenings for me, but then again I rarely relisten to anything any more. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rockinrob Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I really love all the DBT records, but the newest one is probably third to least favorite, 2nd being Pizza deliverance and 1st being The big to do. That being said, it is probably my favorite new album of the year so far. It isn't it's fault, just the nature of a band with so many fantastic records. On that note, I really don't get the hate for GGB some people have.... In other news, I was eating at my favorite mexican place in town, Taco Bus, when I noticed Patterson Hood and Jay Gonzalez were eating a couple booths down from me! I told them I was super excited for their show that night and we talked about record stores. Definitely one of my least awkward run ins with a musical hero of mine!
