    Heh. No offense taken, I don't think she sounds anything like Neko! Shonna's great, but Neko's a goddess.


    Now Tanya Tucker...you might have hit the nail on the head there, ty.
    Don't forget to qualify that as "young" Tanya Tucker. :D

    Any opinions on this one yet? It's out there if you look hard enough. A little overwhelming at 1st (19 songs, 75+ minutes, huge variety of songs, Shonna singing). A much more country record than their last few, although there are a couple of rockers.

    Have only heard the songs on the ep..........I'm happy.

    In other DBT news, I scored a vinyl copy of "Southern Rock Opera" the other day.

    I like the live version of Goode's Field Road better than the studio...there's something about those intro's by Patterson that make the song that much better.

    I guess they don't translate to the record...still a great song nevertheless.

    Haven't had a chance to listen to the whole thing yet...about 1/3 of the way through...good stuff so far.

    Pre-ordered my t-shirt/cd bundle from the website...did not pay for release date delivery since I will be out of the country.

    The web site was really slow when I ordered, so be forewarned.

    I thought this one was supposed to be available on vinyl? Hm.

    I'll be at the Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Louisville shows on the first leg of the tour - hope to see some of you there!

    Yeah, I'm not sure about the Anaheim show. It's a weeknight, and there are three bands so it's gonna be a late one. Combined with a 1 1/2 hour drive I'm thinking I'll wait it out. On the other hand, it is the tour kickoff...

    If I preorder the cd/t-shirt combo how do I know if I'm one of the first 100? Does anyone know if it's too late?

    Edit: I just read the autographed posters are sold out.

    Great Patterson interview:

    Wow, I can't find this cd anywhere. Looks like I might be forced to download it.

    Interesting.....I have not looked for it locally as the best locally-owned CD shop closed at the December, and I ordered it from the label.

    Either way I'll buy it when I find it. I just don't get how Toronto never seems to have DTB's cd's I'm looking for. Years ago I couldn't find The Dirty South, and now they seem to have everything but the new one.

    I just can't wait to hear it...

    What does the shirt look like, ty?

    And has anyone seen the record on vinyl in any of the shops?

    My sister-in-law has tried her best to indoctrinate me, but I just can't get into DBT. She's burned NUMEROUS CD's for me and forced me to watch their DVD, but I'm just not feeling it :(. Do I need to see them live or am I a hopless case?

    It's a pewter/gunmetal gray with a Wes Freed design on the front. The design has a black ground featuring a tour bus driving from left to right. "Drive-By Truckers" and the bus are in white. "The Home Front World Tour 2008" are in the color of the shirt underneath the bus on the design. It ain't too shabby.
