I've heard a handful of songs from the other albums you mentioned, but DS and DD are my favorites. I have to say that Jason's presence really brought their music to a new level...don't you think?

After reading this thread I downloaded a handul of songs to see what all the fuss was about. Not bad, but I don't feel instantly hooked the way I was when I first heard the Black Keys. Maybe they'll grow on me. Reminds me of Lynard Skynard on the first quick listen. I'm not sure which albums the songs I heard came from. Do the albums progress from a more country sound to rock? Or the other way? Or do they all have a bit of both in them?
It doesn't matter if you're male, female, or confused; black, white, brown, red, green, yellow; gay, lesbian; redneck cop, stoned; ugly; military style, doggy style; fat, rich or poor; vegetarian or cannibal; bum, hippie, virgin; famous or drunk-you're either an asshole or you're not!
They definitely have a story-telling feel to them...Listen to Goddamn Lonely Love...that's the one that hooked me.

I heard a mash-up of Never Gonna Change and Ice Ice Baby...it was freakin' brilliant.

Outfit is neck and neck with GDLL as one of my favorites.
Tornadoes is a great one two punch with Where the Devil Won't Stay.

II have heard, but am not as familiar, with the other three albums (Southern Rock Opera, Gangstabilly and Pizza Deliverance). It takes a few more listens to "get", but it's good. Not as good as DS and DD though.
Gangstabilly, although the mix is a little tough, is a gem of a disc, although it doesn't kick into high gear until the end of the album. First off, it contains Living Bubba which is a show stopper live, and a heartwrenching tale of aids, and how one person dealt with it. Then there is the trio of songs on the second half that really make the album: 18 Wheels of Love, Steve McQueen, and Buttholeville. Great songs.
Pizza Deliverance I don't listen to as much, although 9 bullets is the highlight off the disc. And Southern Rock Opera is very much a concept album, so it takes the right mood to listen to. There are essential DBT tracks on it though, Let There Be Rock, Ronnie and Neil, Road Cases, Dead Drunk & Naked, Zip City.
I could talk about them all day too. But I gotta work...
"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.

OK. If you've read this far, I'll throw out an offer. I've got a 3cd set of a show from 7/25/04 with Patterson, Isbell, and Shonna. One of my favorite boots. Details on it can be found here:

Southern Rock Opera is a masterpiece, especially if you grew up in Alabama at the same time as the boys (Shonna was not yet a member on this LP) in the band. Most of what is said is true and lets you know our frame of reference. "Ronnie and Neil", "Let There Be Rock" and "Zip City" are absolute killers when played live. However, my favorite track from that album is "72 (This Highway's Mean). What a song! I just wish that they would play it live when I am in attendence.
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
All you Truckers fans need to check out a band called "Slobberbone" I think you will really dig them.
The Man has a branch office in each of our brains, his corporate emblem is a white albatross, each local rep has a cover known as the Ego, and their mission in this world is Bad Shit.
I haven't heard their music but ..I heard they broke up.
Yeah thats what I heard too, I really don't know alot about them, but I recently picked up one of their records and got the chance to listen to some others and its really good stuff.

PBM gave a great list of songs...
but, the living bubba, has to be their best...
just the emotion of it comes right through, esp. the version on the DVD...
great, great track...
You know what song I can't get into? Day of Graduation....something about the intro that bugs me. Other than that, I love 'em all.

Yeah, its creepy, but it fits the theme of the Southern Rock Opera. Starts off with the whole 'high school, mythology of the legendary rock band' vibe, and then starts to deconstruct that into the real inner workings of a band by the time you get to Road Cases.
Also, you posted the Live Music Archive link to the DBT's page, you can stream Pattersons solo stuff on this site too, at a different link:
The show I posted up an offer for isn't on here though (I'm assuming its because Isbell plays too, and he isn't up on the Archive). Haven't gotten any responses yet, offers still open...

Good? Good? Its great. Tell me you can't listen to songs like The Day John Henry Died, Puttin People on the Moon, Carl Perkins Cadillac, Sands of Iwo Jima (which is about Pattersons Uncle), Danko/Manuel, and the mighty Lookout Mountain and not say its a great album.
It is indeed great. It has reached an even higher status knowing that David Barbe had something to do with it.
ive heard quite a few things about this group... i might have to break down and pick up an album. they sounds almost like a black crowes style band... only maybe even better judging by the rave reviews ive heard. is dirty south the consensus on first album to start with?
Sayin they sound like the Crowes isnt all that accurate. Maybe same genre but definitely a different sound. Plus, I dunno if I would compare a band to the Crowes right now. They are on fire.

Crowes are good, DBT are better in my opinion.
Just got the OK from my boss to take Saturday, February 25 off to see the Truckers in Nashville.

If DBT had a good singer they would be better. I am not into his style. I like alotta their stuff musically and I love Southern Rock Opera, but the vocals really stop me from loving DBT.

From what I have heard the guy that does the majority. Or do they have similar voices. Alotta the stuff I have heard has more of spoken vocal over it.
Patterson Hood prob. does 50%...Isbell and Cooley split the other half...that's a very rough estimate...
I like the vocals though...
I was watching their DVD, by dad thought they sounded like The Band. There is certainly a connection there, Danko/Manuel.
They go for that. Plus they walk on sometimes to "Don't Do It."
Maybe they love Marvin Gaye too..
I heard that Shonna Tucker is suppose to sing on the new album
I like this (foudn it on their website):
DBT had found its best incarnation, with three guitarists, three songwriters and three front men.

I read an interview with Patterson that mentioned that she wrote some songs, but they didn't end up on the album. But, he said, she might sing something on the next record. She sounded pretty good on that cover of Like a Rolling Stone, that would be really cool to hear her on future records though.
From what I have heard, there are 2 songs each from Cooley and Isbell, and the rest are from Patterson.
Honestly that band is just astounding, any one of those guys could carry a band on their own and it would be pretty great, you put all of them in the same lineup and its just an embarrasment of riches.

I think when Isbell join on, they really found their sound. The earlier stuff is good, but the last three albums are outstanding.

Yup - way back when. Was much more active on that board. Am more of a lurker here. I seem to remember your screen name too.
But I post when I feel strongly about something - like DBT.
Scuba: they don't really progress either way. It's an even mix.
Like PBM said - if Goddamn Lonely Love doesn't get you, try "Where the Devil Won't Stay", "Outfit" and "Decoration Day."
My Sweet Annette is a favorite - but if you don't like a "country" sound, you won't like it.
