    I won't lie - I'm a little in love with Kathleen Edwards... may try to get out and see her tomorrow night at The Troubador...

    Hell, I've been married for almost 15 years and I'll agree with you. She's got a spark to her, and she obviously enjoys playing live. She put on a great show, played a lot of stuff off the new album. Highly recommend going, especially the troub. That's a tiny place from what I remember, only holds about 300 people.

    Wouldn't be suprised if Marty McSorley shows up there, she said that they were playing on Leno tomorrow night, and she was trying to get McSorley to play tambourine. If you do go, request 'Summer of 69'. They were talking about Bryan Adams at the SD show, and launched into a impromptu (and ragged) version of Summer of '69. Bet she'd get a kick if someone requested it in L.A.

    She played a great solo version of it, if that helps tip you over the edge!

    So yes, you need to go to Kathleen Edwards and you need to head down to the belly-up for the DBT.

    "Unfortunately, the Sun Jun 29 show in Edmonton, ALB at the STARLITE has been canceled due to a scheduling conflict. More show dates are on the way."

    booooooo we were planning on hitting that show... calgary's show is a festival so we figured they'd get a shorter set here.... oh well maybe the date they are doing instead is a full show in calgary! wishful thinking...

    is ninebullets down because it's the end of that leg of the tour, or just cause the fans couldn't play nice?

    Fans couldn't play nice, I'm suspecting... I read through the one thread yesterday - it was ridiculous...

    I could see both sides of the argument, but the people making the arguments were just obnoxious... exactly what is wrong with internet forums...

    Too bad - usually a very good board for a very good band...

    Of DBT albums, which two should I purchase as a new listener? Or, better yet, what would be your greatest hits from them(say 15-20 songs)? Thanks

    they haven't made a bad album but i recommend starting with decoration day. for songs, try: the opening act, let there be rock, zip city, danko/manuel, nine bullets, decoration day, gravity's gone, heathens, outfit, a world of hurt, tornadoes, carl perkins' cadillac, panties in your purse, goddamn lonely love, the company i keep, shut up and get on the plane, sink hole, cottonseed, the boys from alabama... it's hard to stop. i left out at least 20 songs that shouldn't be left out. and that list only includes hood, cooley and isbell's songs.

    You should actually buy three:

    1. Southern Rock Opera
    2. Decoration Day
    3. The Dirty South

    Then buy Brighter Than Creation's Dark, then buy Isbell's solo album, Sirens of the Ditch, then buy A Blessing and a Curse (not in the same league as the others, but good), then start seeing DBT shows and have your mind BLOWN, then move to Alabama and be happy! :)
