    For some reason I'm getting Esquire Magazine (actually, I think it's because they stopped printing FHM and that is my replacement).

    Anyway, there is a nice write up about Jason's new album and the Muscle Shoals sound.

    It's very good...actually, I'm surprised that Dress Blues hasn't caught the attention of a broader audience yet.

    I've kept myself from listening to any of the songs off the album other than watching Amazon's video of Dress Blues. I was disappointed when I heard he left DBT, but I'm really excited for this album because he is an awesome songwriter. The only thing I could be more excited for would be a new DBT album.

    I'm pissed. UPS didn't drop by my house today, so I don't have the album yet.

    was anyone able to find this in any store or just online? i can't seem to find it here. not that ordering albums online is too much of a hassle, i just like to go to the store to buy them.

    Did not get to go out look locally today.......:( Most likely, it will be Thursday before I get a real chance to poke around for it.

    I wasn't able to find it at my local indie store - they usually have all the new releases I'm looking for, but they didn't even have it listed in the computer. Grrr, I really wanted it, too.

    This doesn't sound like a promising start for young Jason.

    I hope he's able to get the disc in stores.

    If nothing else, go to iTunes.

    "A promising start", huh? I found the cd quite easily...even though 2 independent stores were already sold out of the copies that they brought in....anyways I ended up going to a big chain store(against my wishes) and got a copy the day it was released(yesterday) for $15(which I also wasn't happy about)...they also had 5 extra copies that I saw...

    The tune TRY is currently blowing my mind wide open :)

    Just wondering...where are you located, august?

    *edited to add* Seems like New West had some distribution issues yesterday, I guess it wasn't showing up on iTunes? Wonder if that affected the physical distribution as well. Hm. I'll try to find it again tonight.

    Hey...as long as it's out there...I'm happy.

    My local shop was sold out today, but they said they did have some in yesterday. Had them order a copy for me. Holding off on listening to it till I get the cd, but I"m looking forward to it.

    Picked up the new Wilco instead, so things worked out ok...
