    World of Hurt is a classic Patterson tune...reminds me of The Three Great Alabama Icons

    I really like this album a lot.

    DBT is one of my top 3 favs. PJ being #1 of course. Then Ben Harper and DBT. I have seen them live twice. Fucking great! They got a DVD in stores if you don't already have it. Between these 3 groups, and Bob Dylan, I'm going to be a broke motherfucker after the summer, I have 5 PJ concerts planned , 2 Ben Harper, 2 DBT, and 2 Bob Dylan. Yeah!

    They're coming to Louisville...I'd like to go.

    The Nashville show was great.

    DBT is one of my favorites.

    I think Daylight is great... Goodbye is growing on me... Easy on Yourself is a good track....

    I don't know why I'm holding out on pre-ordering and downloading the new album, but I am.... I figure I can wait another couple of weeks... but I love the stuff I've heard so far (except maybe for Feb. 14 - not a bad song, it really just didn't have much staying power for me)...

    hoping to see them here in May...

    BTW... if you pre-order through Tower Records, you get a bonus disc with ABAAC... the Like A Rolling Stone cover, a live track, and two previously unreleased songs...

    Really? I thought it was extremely catchy from the first time I heard it until today...I may have worn it out a little though.

    The lack of Cooley songs is disappointing.

    Cooley can be described best in this quote, pulled off a tribute someone made at blessingandacurse.com:

    "It's like Johnny Cash, Keith Richards and Levon Helm all beat off onto the corpse of John Oates...and then lightning struck the corpse and from its electrical discharge a new rock titan was created, and the gods called him Cooley."

    If you pre-order from the record company at the DBT website, day of release guaranteed delivery will set you back an extra thirteen dollars!!!!!

    Really? I'm still debating if I want to pre-order in order to enter in that contest.

    I already have the album, but I support their music, so I want to pay my dues.

    It's good, but there are many that are better.

    Man, I think I'm the only one holding out for the cd to get released.


    NakedClown - You attending either (or both) of the HOB shows? Was thinking about maybe heading up for one of them...

    Well, I just found out that the two primary songwriters from the Jayhawks (Gary Louris & Marc Olson) will be doing a show here on the 3rd, so I guess I won't be heading up to L.A. I'm a little worried as it'll be an acoustic show though, and my ears will be ringing from DBT the night before.
