    Im super excited about this. I loved his first record and look forward to the first outing with the 400 Unit on record. He has a new song on his myspace page now.

    Dude has one of the coolest voices I've heard in a long time

    Damn fine live band. :cool:

    I'm also not particularly digging the song streaming on his myspace, but those clips linked above are quite good. I think it'll be a solid record.

    I really like Sirens of the Ditch, but I don't find myself going back to the songs the way I do on some of his DBT work.

    Jason is a great song-writer. I would be interested in knowing what kind of collaborations he had with the rest of DBT when crafting the songs he wrote for them.

    I guess what I'm getting at...is he ready to go out on his own as a songwriter or is he better being a part of the sum.

    Live? There's no question, he tears it up on stage. Plus, he's a down-to-earth guy. He's usually in the crowd watching the opening band, so a friendly exchange of pleasantries among the fans isn't uncommon.

    So, yes, I am looking forward to the disc...not as excited as I was about his first album, but with curiosity.

    I'm with you, although my thoughts are a little different. I love Jason and yes he's great live, but I don't love the band he's with. The guitarist he plays with is great, but I'm not a bif fan of the rhythm section (drums and bass).

    I was hoping he'd upgrade his band for the new album, but I'm guessing he's staying with the same guys. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

    That cover of Psycho Killer is amazing...and Jason doesn't even sing lead on it.
