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 wish my dad that was that cool.......musically. :(

I hope he enjoys it. He was born in Humbolt, Tennessee (the strawberry captial of the world) and likes to drink beer, so it seems like a natural fit.

I'm hoping that Isbell & Patterson schedule some solo shows outside of the South. I'd love to get the chance to see them acoustic in a small venue.
Course on a PJ board, I suppose its not right for me to bitch about someone only touring in the south.

I got my mom into the Truckers awhile back. She grew up on Southern rock back in the 70's and one day she asked me what I was listening to when I had DBT on, so I handed her a CD and that was pretty much that.

Nearly six years ago, DBT played a show at Pine Hill Farms up in North Carolina. The monthly event (now, long defunct) was held at a farmhouse on a beautiful piece of land outside of Chapel Hill NC.
It was written up in No Depression and had a built in following.
We were invited to play there shortly after the release (1st time) of Southern Rock Opera. We played sitting down and acoustic. We drank huge quantities of beer and whiskey and deconstructed the SRO album (and many other albums worth of songs) over a 4+ hour period. Bootlegs of the highlights have been very popular among collectors and the show seems to be a very fond memory among folks who were there (none of whom can actually remember it). Such is how things like that go.
We play very loud and for many good reasons.
The show itself has morphed far from where we originally set out from and in ways that I largely find thrilling.
I love the ridiculous cathartic bombast of it and the way I feel like someone beat the ever loving shit out of me when it's over.
That said, I do sometimes miss how the songs get buried in the process and have always dreaded and feared a day when the whole thing becomes a caricature of itself.
This year is the first time since before SRO that we aren't out promoting a new album. We are all committed to taking some time at home to recharge, write and spend some Family Time.
We also wanted to go out a do something a little different. Maybe revisit some songs in a different light, maybe try out some new stuff on a smaller scale, maybe tell some stories and sing some songs. Pull up some chairs, have a few drinks and tell some stories to each other and some friends.
We know how to do that but just never really get around to it.
THE DIRT UNDERNEATH is a show I've been wanting to do for a long time.
It's roots come from that Pine Hill Farms show I mentioned (the first one, not the 2nd one, which actually was kind of a drunken clusterfuck).
Shonna plays a mean upright bass. Maybe we can get Cooley to play that banjo he plays so well in the studio. We all know some stories and can sing some pretty harmonies when we're not singing over a wall of guitars (Oh glorious guitars).
It's not a permanent thing, just a handful of dates (TBA SOON). A chance to reconnect with some songs and maybe each other a bit.
That way, when we go back out with The Rock Show, it will be fresh and new to us again. Like Rock and Roll is supposed to be.
Contrary to rumors, there are NO CONFIRMED DATES YET but hopefully there will be soon.
See You There.

It's been six or seven months since we have seen a rock show of any kind....yeah, it would be cool.

Man, these shows sound like a blast. I wonder if they'll be under the DBT name, or listed as 'The Dirt Underneath'. Be fun if they went stealth to get a smaller crowd that weren't expecting a big rock show.
"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.
Goddamn, this band is just too good to be true sometimes.

Have you heard the new album already or are you talking about DBT on the whole.

Interesting sound and band, I think its great when bands have a differant sound and start getting noticed.
I also heard they play for like 3 hours plus.

Sounds great my best friend graduated from there and has major allumni ties, its a shame I dont live closer, there are no shows comming near the philly area.
First time I saw them, they played 3 hours. Started at 10, ended at 1. Very small encore break...about 5 minutes.
Second time, they played 2-2 1/2 hours.
Great live show.

Looks like more dates for the Dirt Underneath tour are up on the web site (with more to come apparently). They seem to be headed out West, for now.

Where can I hear some of Jason Isbell's solo stuff? He's playing in Toronto and curious if I should check him out. I do love his guitar playing and vocals in the band, but not sure how fun it would be to just see him live.

the show costs $22 AND you get to see son volt(headliners)...that alone should be enough for you to say yes!

Does Isbell play any DTB songs?
No DTB songs. But he has been known to play DBT songs (the ones he wrote, plus Pattersons 'The Assassin')
Some of his solo stuff was streaming on his Myspace page.
