    Never did the Dollywood thing...

    Me neither. It's on my list when I do my Nashville/Memphis/Dollywood/Graceland roadtrip someday! I do love me some Dolly - saw her on her bluegrass tour a few years back and she was great.

    Y'all are making me want to download that EP...but I don't want to buy it twice, and I know I'll end up getting the vinyl when it comes out. Hm.

    Never did the Dollywood thing.....that side of the National Park is a little too built-up and crowded for my tastes. If we go to the mountains, it's for the national park, not the "attractions." Once I had to do Dolly's "Dixie Stampede" dinner theater...what a rip-off.

    Downloading the ep as I type. :D


    Darlin', I can see I need to add to your education. This Canton, Georgia sweetie has been to Dollywood...at Christmas no less. And I had the joy of taking 12 eleven year old girls to Dixie Stampede...like herding cats....

    So plan on taking the iPod on our long awaited trip to Tennessee and we can play the new ep on the way!!!!

    p.s. Merry Christmas, PBM! Love to you and yours!

    Remember, if you buy the EP off iTunes, you can use the "Complete My Album" preference so that you don't duplicate songs when it's released in full.

    And the same to you and Ty.

    Enjoy the Volunteer State. Be sure to check out Lookout Mountain.

    And on your way, stop off in Lauderdale County...there's a nice little community near the border that you can zip in and out of rather quickly.

    :)

    I am so in love with this band right now...that I won't mind owning multiple copies to help keep them in Jack and PBR. :D

    That's true...I just don't like having it *only* in digital format, so I know I'll end up buying it again... :p

    I am in love with the Shonna song off of the ep on first listen.....Purgatory Line...great stuff.

    She's got an old-school-country-twang to her voice.

  • Someone on the Yahoo group was comparing her voice to Neko Case...I don't hear it, but man, do I hear Reba.

    I'm really digging her tunes. I wonder why she waited this long to contribute? She's a good songwriter.

    Previously, with 3 great songwriters...I imagine it was hard enough at that time. With Jason leaving, she developed a great opportunity to showcase her talent.

  • True. And I can imagine being a little shy about bringing new material to Patterson & Cooley!

    Three Dimes Down is just begging for singing along with a beer in hand :D

    A young Tanya Tucker comes to mind. Apparently, Shonna and I heard a lot of the same music growing up...this is a real country sound.

    "Jesus walked on water.....where did he get those shoes...." Brilliant, simply brilliant. :D

    sorry no offense, but not even remotely close to neko

    Neko is in the same league as Stevie Nicks

    Heh. No offense taken, I don't think she sounds anything like Neko! Shonna's great, but Neko's a goddess.


    Now Tanya Tucker...you might have hit the nail on the head there, ty.

    Don't forget to qualify that as "young" Tanya Tucker. :D

  • Any opinions on this one yet? It's out there if you look hard enough. A little overwhelming at 1st (19 songs, 75+ minutes, huge variety of songs, Shonna singing). A much more country record than their last few, although there are a couple of rockers.

    Have only heard the songs on the ep..........I'm happy.

    In other DBT news, I scored a vinyl copy of "Southern Rock Opera" the other day.

    I like the live version of Goode's Field Road better than the studio...there's something about those intro's by Patterson that make the song that much better.

    I guess they don't translate to the record...still a great song nevertheless.

    Haven't had a chance to listen to the whole thing yet...about 1/3 of the way through...good stuff so far.

    Pre-ordered my t-shirt/cd bundle from the website...did not pay for release date delivery since I will be out of the country.

    The web site was really slow when I ordered, so be forewarned.

  • I thought this one was supposed to be available on vinyl? Hm.

    I'll be at the Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Louisville shows on the first leg of the tour - hope to see some of you there!

    Yeah, I'm not sure about the Anaheim show. It's a weeknight, and there are three bands so it's gonna be a late one. Combined with a 1 1/2 hour drive I'm thinking I'll wait it out. On the other hand, it is the tour kickoff...

    If I preorder the cd/t-shirt combo how do I know if I'm one of the first 100? Does anyone know if it's too late?

    Edit: I just read the autographed posters are sold out.
