Drive-By Truckers ~ The Big To-Do

This may sound like a stupid question but I'm rather new to DBT - now that Jason Isabell is gone, do they still sing any of his songs live?

To my knowledge, they don't but he does at his shows

They don't. Love that guy's voice and his songs are great....so I wish they did, but it wouldn't be the same anyway. I'm still kicking myself for not seeing him earlier this year when he was just a couple of hours down the road

I did the same thing... Isbell was in the UK in June last year :(

im usually the last guy who is a good spellar but
www.jasonisbell.com

having said that i became a fan cause of that 3 singer/songwriter/guitar player frontal MASS attack that existed when jason was in the band. i still miss him mostly cause i didn't see this band before he joined so all i knew was that the dbt had him in it. someday i hope he returns, though that is highly doubtful is my guess. but its still all good, just different. not hearing jasons tunes in the dbt fold kinda hurts cause his numbers were a++

but jason didn't disappear! and his shows are still amazing. he's an incredible songwriter. imo

Hi all.

My hubby-to-be and I have tickets for Manchester, UK (12th Nov) and Birmingham, UK (13th Nov)

Unfortunately something big has come up on the 12th and we now can't make it to the show (trust me, we've tried everything)

Our Manchester tickets are now for sale. Face value (£15 per ticket) is all we ask...

PM me if you're interested.

Damn. If only there wasn't a gigantic body of water between us.

I've been on a Truckers kick lately and listening to Southern Rock Opera quite a bit. Given the meaning that Patterson has supplied for the song Angels and Fuselage, it has become one of my favorites. However, it is incredibly haunting and vivid.

Patterson's explanation:

Set inside the plane after the engines shut down and everything went quiet. Just the sound of the wind over the wings and your own heartbeat. Again, Miss Kelly Hogan plays the part of Cassie.

The song is a recollection of the moments before Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane crashed. Cassie, being one of the back-up singers, and sister of then guitarist Steve Gaines. For those that don't know, Skynyrd's plane was en route from Greensville, South Carolina to Baton Rouge, Louisiana when one of the engines failed during the flight. The plane crashed in a swamp 5 miles north of Gillsburg, Mississippi. Lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist/vocalist Steve Gaines, backing vocalist Cassie Gaines (Steve's older sister), assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, pilot Walter McCreary and co-pilot William Gray were all killed on impact.

The lyrics are what really make it a chilling tune:

Looking out the window, the trees are getting closer it seems.
Thinking bout you Darling.
Adding up the cost of these dreams.

Strapped to this projectile, just a blink ago I was back in school.
Smoking by the gym door, practicing my rock-star attitude

And I'm scared shitless of what's coming next.
I'm scared shitless, these angels I see in the trees are waiting for me.

The engines have stopped now. We all know we are going down. Last call for alcohol.
Sure wish I could have another round.

And I'm scared shitless of what's coming next.
Scared shitless, these angels I see in the trees are waiting for me.
Waiting for me.

Friends in the swamp.
Friends on the ground, in the trees.
Angels and fuselage.

Just got into them, I think they're fantastic! Only have listened to The Big To-Do so far, but will definitely be checking out more!
Also, fun fact: the drummer is my guitar teacher's cousin!

That's awesome! The EZB is the shit.

Interestingly enough, I work with a woman who knows another woman who was apparently in a pretty committed relationship with Johnny Neff. Come to find out the last I heard was that they're no longer together and Johnny Neff and Shonna are now a thing. How true that is, I don't know...but it was still an interesting fact.

Angels and Fuselage has always given me goosebumps because of the meaning :( Absolutely amazing song though :thumbup:
