    i don't think anyone has shown any love for the buford cup, carl perkins' cadillac, or the day john henry died but then again, on an album this badass it's easy for a few good ones to fall between the cracks.

    What the studio version??? the live version from "Alabama Ass-whuppin"??? I could e-mail you either one.

    I picked this album up, and gave it a listen and nothing seemed to stand out for me. Only on first listen. I like the sound they have for sure, and hope I can get into it more. But what are some of the key tracks?

    [Pissbottleman???]

    The Day John Henry Died and Lookout Mountain stand out when I listen to the album. However, I love every song. It's complete from beginning to end.

    I saw them live last summer at the Baltimore Art Festival for free. They flat out rocked!!!

    Before I saw them I bought their live DVD on a whim having heard nothing from them. It kicked ass.

    Decoration Day and Southern Rock Opera are great albums too.

    Every time I listen to them I get a craving for bourbon. Elijah Craig on the rocks, to be exact.

    Just today my copy of Dirty South started skipping on the powerful closing section of Never Gonna Change, Lookout Mountain and Goddamn Lonely Love.

    It is less awful because I copied the CD to my computer long ago and just burn another copy...

    PBW and I went to Atlanta this past weekend. While going through Chattanooga, we passed Lookout Mountain.

    That fired my ass up.

    Why are their cd's so expensive? The cheapest I've seen it is $22, and I was just at a music store buying a couple cd's and saw that one for $26 - The Dirty South that is

    I so badly want to listen to it, but no way can I allow myself to pay more than $30 with tax...just craziness

    Thats fucked up, everywhere I have seen them they have been right in line with the rest of the stuff in the store.

    Maybe try Ebay, or half.com

    Ok, I gave this album quite a few tries. But I just can't get into to it. And I'm not trying to take anything away from the band, they are good, it's just not my cup o' tea. Maybe a different album?

    There are some good tracks on it for sure, but overall, eh.

    anyone wanna trade for the new DBT album? I bought the last one and like it, but since I spent $30 on it I think I deserve the new one for less. I got a ton of cd's I can trade. Let me know.

    Great album, best song is the first one 'Where the Devil Don't Say'.

    I have had the same problem too. I can't find them for less then 18 bucks :(

    I did pick this album up though and i like it a lot. I love the first song where the devil don't stay. That song just kicks a lot of ass! Love goddamn lonely, lookout mountain, and puttin people on the moon. Those four stood out for me immediatly.

    I'm excited. I'm also disapointed i have not gotten into them sooner since i'm in Atlanta..... I will definatly try to hit the next show at the 40 watt

    the only song on that album that i cant get into is john henry. cottonseed is kickass, where the devil dont stay just rocks so incredibly hard i cant stay still during it.

    anyone else pick up pizza deliverance. i bought it after i had dirty south and it is much different very country twangy sound. not a huge fan of it but there are a couple good songs.

    lookin forward to the new one.

    I'm not a big fan of Daddy's Cup...I thought I might like it after seeing it live, but it doesn't do anything for me. I do like Cooley's work though.

    Cooley clearly shines on Where the Devil Don't Stay... might be his best work...

    Sounds Better in the Song... is one of my current favorites... I never realized how sweet that song was before... (off of DD, of course)...

    AND... the PEARL JAM CONNECTION...

    I was just reading the ABAAC notes on drivebytruckers.com and Danny Clinch (who directed the current promotional PJ video and took most of their recent promo shots), who is friends with DBT, inspired the name of the album... (the new album, that is - A Blessing and a Curse....

    I feel that way about Cottonseed. I usually skip it on the disc, but I thought it kicked ass live.
    "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 can tolerate the song, not his best work is correct, but I hate the subject matter........stock car racing blows.

    I read a quote from Patterson about playing a lot this year and they were going to play with some famous bands...my thoughts started racing.
