    Yeah... I wouldn't be surprised if the record is circulating by Christmas.

    Good times!

    3 Shonna songs on the record.... and 7 (!) Cooley songs.

    I wonder if they'll let that girl sing on a record.

    From the sounds of it they have. Someone on the ninebullets board overheard a soundcheck and heard her doing one... So I think they may be back to 3 songwriters.

    That's right...the Huston song.

    She's got a very distinguished voice.

    Yeah, I have always liked her backing vocals and the verse she takes in the "Like a rolling stone" cover is quite good. This could definitely be a really cool thing.

    Cool stuff.....great news for the new record.

    The thing about Shonna's singing is you can tell that she is from around here. :D In other words, her accent is pretty close to mine. :D

    The trading of verses in the song is brilliant.

    Cooley coming in at the end with his:

    "WELLL....Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
    They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made"

    Awesome.

    That puts their cover over the top........Stroker really gets into that song.

    I noticed this morning that the boot from Friday night's show is up at archives.

    Some of us can say it nicely while on tip-toes. :D

    saw jason in buffalo last night. excellent show. i draw a bit of a blank on the middle of the setlist for reasons i won't get into, but he opened with try, grown and goddamn lonely love. encored with a far too rockin version of outfit then made up for it with a killer decoration day. the guitarist sang on psycho killer. danko/manuel, razor town and and the assassin stood out but the highlight was probably, surprisingly, never gonna change. he spent some time greeting fans at the door and was around before and after the show. i got a chance to insist he come back and had him sign a poster. A-. might've been a solid A were it not for my mini crisis. definitely go if ya get a chance.

    We have heard "Checkout Time...." twice...they played it at the "Rock Show" on the Birmingham-Southern campus. Good stuff.

    Buttholeville (w/State Trooper by the "Boss") also rocked at that show.

    That's one thing about Jason...he seems very accessible.

    He's doing it the old fashion way...touring like crazy and connecting with fans on a personal level.

    Even when he was with the Truckers he was like that. The last time I saw them with him in the band, he was walking around the club before the show, talking to fans, drinking at the bar, just hanging out. It was good to see.

    He came out to watch The Drams in Memphis and American Minor in Nashville.

    My friends went down and thanked him for coming to Memphis. I didn't want to bother him before the show and didn't want to say something idiotic, so I stayed in the balcony drinking my Bud Light.

    Also, from his many Myspace postings...he doesn't seem like a rockstar. Just a guy who plays music.

    So, was anyone else at the Dirt Underneath show in Madison over the weekend? I saw a guy in a PJ shirt, but didn't say hi.

    This was my first DBT experience, and it completely blew me away. I can't imagine what the Rock Show is going to do! I'm seeing them again tonight - can't wait.

    They're an addicting band to say the least.......Rock shows are louder versions of what you saw in the Dirt Underneath show.......the Dirt show that I saw just blew me away....and it was only week after a Rock show.
