    I need to get into this band... how many albums have they put out?
    Gangsta' Billy
    Pizza Deliverence
    Alabama Ass Whuppin' (Live)
    Southern Rock Opera (2 disc)
    Decoration Day
    The Dirty South
    A Blessing and a Curse

    Live at the 40 Watt (dvd)

    The last four albums are far superior to the first three. The dvd was filmed right after the release of The Dirty South. My favorite probably is "The Dirty South."

    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    I feel the same way about Gangstabilly. The songs on that album are killer.

  • Pizza Deliverance and Gangstabilly took awhile to grow on me, but after little while they really clicked and now some of my most listened to songs are on those records... One of these Days, Box of Spiders, Why Henry Drinks... I could go on and on.

    And you can't go wrong with "The Living Bubba"............That reminds me, you can purchase six or songs from "Live at the 40 Watt" from itunes.

    iTunes used to have Alabama Ass-Whuppin, but for some reason it got taken off. The only song I grabbed was 18 Wheels Of Love, as it had the great full live intro. It's only $41 for the CD on Amazon...

    Damn I guess I got lucky picking it up from a local store a few months back for like 12 bucks or something... I think that record was on weird lable or something, thus the scarcity, I noticed its not available on the official website either... perhaps a reissue is in order...

    I've been looking for awhile. If any of you see it cheap, let me know! They don't sell it at the live shows anymore either. A reissue would be appreciated.

  • Well,
    DBT is hitting good ole Lancaster, PA in less than three weeks.
    I hope to get someone on my radio show here at school before the show.
    If anyone has any good questions to ask, let me know, I'm trying to formulate a list.

    Thanks.

    I know Jenn has answered on the Nine Bullets board, but you may want to ask them about how they prepare for each show and how the setlist is tabulated.

    They have such a laid back approach to their shows that it would be interesting to hear.

    Have you gotten any further with the band's people as far as getting them on your show? Have you emailed DBTJenn? She might be able to speed up the process.

    Good luck. Does your college station stream online?

    Yeah, it seems pretty off the cuff - but that is a good question.

    I'm talking through email to some people at New West about scheduling this, so yeah, the ball is rolling.

    Sadly, we do not stream online, but I'll try to get a recording and get it online at some point if this happens.

    Regardless, we got a hell of a rock show comin to Lancaster in a few weeks.

    :D

    Thats very cool, I'd imagine it will be a fun interview. Here's a few questions I'd have:

    Patterson is good about sharing what he's listening to on his tour notes, what is everyone else listening to? And Cooley can't answer Hall & Oates.
    Is Neff in the band full time since he's touring now?
    When the hell are they going to tour with Pearl Jam for a full-on Rock Show?
    After so many years, how does it feel to have have a strong national touring schedule and fanbase? Are their any particular cities that they look forward to playing in consistently, or favorite venues?

    And for purely personal reasons: Any word on another reissue of Alabama Ass-Whuppin for those who may have missed out on it?

    If I can think of any more, I'll post em.
