I found the link in Alabama Ass Whuppin', along with this quote:
Patterson Hood: We’ll be finishing this tour on Halloween and we’ll be doing some one-offs and some weekend stuff from time to time, but I’m not planning on the band touring, maybe even for all next year. Besides doing some one-offs to keep the lights on, I’d like to keep it off the road. We’re gonna make another record. I’m gonna put out my solo record, and Jason’s gonna put his record out and there is some outside production stuff I really want to find some time to do.
He says he expects the Isbell album will be out in the spring...
There's also an interesting observation that he sees Dirty South as a thematic follow-up to Southern Rock Opera, while Blessing and A Curse was more connected to Decoration Day.
I'm pretty sure I saw the drummer when I was hanging out with Jim and Patrick at the pool hall in chicago.
" I think the thing that has always driven me to play music is the feeling you get when you just close your eyes and play. When you shut off the logic in your brain, and play from your heart. I think that's what made me become a musician - that feeling you get. Especially, if you are with a group of people who are in the same zone, and heading towards that same place in the song. I think you share an intimacy in those situations that you can only compare to sharing intimacy with a lover. I think it's the same place. It's a feeling that I crave for sure. " Jeff Ament
Talks about taking some time off, but the real news here is that a documentary on the band is being/has been filmed, with release sometime next year. Should be a hell of a film.
"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.
Okay so the DBT are ending their tour on NYE. Am I crazy if I wanted to drive 15 hours to see them on 12/30 and 12/31? Also why are those shows not sold out? They seems like small venues, plus it's their home town no?
In celebration, I asked all of our family to pick out one song that they'd want him to hear when he's older. I've taken all the song suggestions and made them into a 2 disc Mix-CD.
My hope is that he'll grow to appreciate different types of music when he's older and, more importantly, create a bond with each person who contributed.
There were a lot of songs for me to pick from but, when it came down to it, I had to go with Outfit.
It's a touching song from father to son. I hope he grows to appreciate the work of Jason Isbell and The Drive-By Truckers.

Congrats on the PBKid, and a great idea. I'm sure I've mentioned this previously, but I've gotten my son (who's 6) hooked on 18 Wheels of Love. Really, the only purpose is so he can start singing 'Momma ran off with a Trucker' at the most inopportune times when he's with my wife. She, however, fails to see the humor in this.

I sent Jason Isbell a message (through his Myspace Page) about the mix CD I made for Xavier. I told him that, without hesitation, I picked "Outfit". I said I hope that when X-Man grows up he appreciates the work of Jason and the Drive-By Truckers.
I got a response back last night from Jason. What a nice guy to take the time to write back.
Can this guy's stock go any higher?

I suspect that if he sent the little PBM an autographed copy of his solo album prior to release......the stock might go up.

Is it just me or is Decoration Day an awesome song? The lyrics, the song, singing, and the amazing 2 minute guitar solo at the end...wow!
I can listen to this song 10 times a day no joke, "cause I'd fight til the last Lawson's last living day".
Yep, and it's supposedly a true story too (about the feud between the Lawsons and the Hills). And Isbells quote on the end of the song: "Barbe and the boys turned it into a tornado"

That false ending is great...then the guitars come in for that solo. One of my favorites.

I was just looking around on Pollstar.com and spotted a Jason Isbell solo date here in Central Florida.
The Man has a branch office in each of our brains, his corporate emblem is a white albatross, each local rep has a cover known as the Ego, and their mission in this world is Bad Shit.
His album, for me, is the piece of music I am most looking forward to in 2007...
I am really psyched about his solo record, as well as Pattersons. I mean, no DBT this year (at least not much) but solo records from two of the 3 songwriters more than makes up for it.

Yeah, I've been reading rumblings over on the Nine Bullets board.
My parents are driving back to Michigan tomorrow after being here five weeks (for the birth of PissBottleBaby). I made them a DBT mix for the 9 hour drive back home.
I've been talking them up to my dad for a while, so he asked me to make a cd for him.

I freakin' love the artwork they have on their album covers. So easy to go into a store and locate the Drive-By Truckers section.

Totally agree, and wish I got to hear that song live. Maybe next time, but it looks like they may not be touring as a band for a while.
