Set: Tell The Truth, Part Of Me, Don’t Know What It Means, The Letter, Little Martha/Midnight In Harlem, Down In The Flood, Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever, I Want More, Let Me Roll It (w/ Patterson Hood), Laugh About It, Key To The Highway (w/ Marcus King), Shame, Bound For Glory

The new album leaked a week or two ago, Patterson even acknowledged it in a 3DD forum post. Like the last two records it is a nice mix of rockers, acoustic, and slow-burning songs. There isn't one on there I don't like. It is a short album coming in at 9 songs, just as I feel I am really getting into it, I realize I am on the last song. 12 songs would have been nice. Can't wait to see the Rock Show.
Excited to hear the album this weekend. My CD preorder from Amazon is supposed to arrive on Friday. I'm going to the Q&A/acoustic set on Saturday afternoon at Rough Trade in Brooklyn. The options were ticket+CD or ticket+vinyl and I chose the latter. I plan to bring a plastic bag because I don't want my signed vinyl to get rained or snowed on. It says Drive-By Truckers at the site but I'm not sure if the whole band will be there or just Patterson & Cooley.
Evidently Patterson and Cooley both had an extended run of writers block going into this album. Thus the longest delay of a Truckers album in their history.
If my memory serves me right, This isn’t the first time Cooley has hit a wall with writing. I think around a Blessing & a Curse and the Big to Do/Go Go Boots run.
Anyways, I’ll cut the guy a break. No one can write a tune like Cooley.
Slow Ride Argument is great at a DBT show. You will all love it. I've heard that Grievance Merchants is terrific but haven't listened to it yet. I'll hear it on the album this weekend and probably next month in Athens.
You see me empty, Sir, do not pause and inquire, simply assume and refill.

Agreed, Slow Ride Argument is a great live song. Grievance Merchants is a darker song, but still classic Cooley.

You are so right. I think Grievance Merchants is a great song.

Great new album. It reminds me a lot of American Band, which is a good thing.
"Thoughts and Prayers" and "Babies in Cages" are probably my two favorites right now.

Picked up tickets for Indy. Looking forward to seeing them for the first time.
They are such a great show! They are my number two after PJ! They tour a bunch and living in Georgia it’s easy to see them a lot. You get a lot of show for your $40, plus they mix it up every night.
Get prepared with the It’s Great to Be Alive! album and enjoy the Rock Show!

Just found out a new book was published? Where the Devil Don’t Stay? With cooperation from the band as well. Put in an order with the publishing company I think. Everywhere else is back ordered.
