    Not a new tune...I'm guessing it would be Strutter by Kiss.

    I can't wait for this album. I actually just picked up The Fine Print yesterday, a collection of unreleased and rare stuff, and I am loving it. DBTs may well be the second best band in the business today...they're definitely high up on my list anyway
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    strutter by kiss. i don't know that song and it must be a new add to their live setlists. thanks for the headsup.

    when jason was in the band i would have said "the second best band in the business today" as well.
    but, damn, i really miss having him in that line up. i'll get over it, mostly cause i dig mike, but...

    Yeah, Jason has one of the coolest voices around and the guy can write songs that are unreal...I think they were better with him around, too, but Brighter Than Creation's Dark is sooooo damn good and they still kick ass live. It's just not quite the same...there will always be something missing without Jason but what's left is still greatness.

    You would be guessing correctly...."Strutter" by Kiss with Cooley on vocals

    You can download "Birthday Boy" from the DBT Website

    I picked up the Fine Print recently too. Although I had a lot of the tracks from other sources (Let There Be Rocktober!), I found that I really enjoyed this collection regardless.

    The rumor over at the My Morning Jacket site is that now that DBT is on the same label as MMJ, they will be hitting the road together. Patterson and Jim are supposedly pretty good friends.

    Check this out, just scroll down a ways and you will find three shows from 1/14-16 at the 40 Watt. They play a bunch of the new songs....possibly all of them including "Girls Who Smoke" which will be a bonus track on the vinyl of the new album

    Yeah it is a cool one. I check it from time to time and have found some pretty cool bands on there I didn't know of before. I like Bloodkin.

    I've listened to the 16th show and just starting on the one from the 15th....audio is pretty good. New songs sound great...can't wait. Love this band

    "Girls Who Smoke" was one of the new songs that they played at the show this past Saturday....dandy little tune. :twisted:

    I'm loving that one along with Daddy Learned to Fly and When the Scene Dies in particular. Birthday Boy is also great...

    New interview with Patterson:

    http://www.billboard.com/#/features/q-a ... 5039.story

    best line of the interview:

    Q: Why do you think Drive-By Truckers aren't a bigger band?

    A: I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with that [Southern rock] label. Sometimes the thing that first gives you that leg up is the foot that ends up kicking you in the nuts.

    Patterson does have a point about the label, but I believe part of this situation is the fact that the band is all over the place musically.....thus the Cox Communications and Clear Channels of the world don't know what to do with them......they can't be pigeon-holed into a certain category or target audience, thus they don't get played on the radio.

    Absolutely. There' s a radio station out here (that's independent, not a cox/clear channel station) that has played a ton of Hold Steady and Dead Confederate. Both bands that have toured with the DBT, yet the station stil won't play any DBT regardless of my requests. I figure it's that they won't even give them a listen because of the label.
