True.

Since bullet ran the operation
Who's "bullet"? Harlan Carter? Someone else? A metaphor for the border patrol?

A relative of "grabby" perhaps?

Looks like they just picked up the Associated Press review.

I love American Band. I'm not sure where it ranks, and while it's probably not their best, it's the one where I'm most proud of them. I was over the moon about English Oceans, mainly because of the AMOUNT (and also quality) of Cooley compositions. He's arguably more brilliant than ever on this recor...

Apologies if this has been posted, but I hadn't seen it. It's the Associated Press. Cooley's final quote might be his most cutting observation yet. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/bacb4b0a78814cc8a169a065264d752d/topical-disc-rock-n-rolls-southern-conscience Thanks for the link. Don't worry about ku...

I'm in. Can't wait. No one comes to Fort Lauderdale, never mind one of my favorite bands.

Yeah, this is pretty much every show I see, everywhere. Not that I disagree with your sentiments, joelle and Zip. It's interesting that you're starting to see more artists with a no phones/cameras policy, but that's a tough thing to pull off. Yes what he said. This isn't tied to the Truckers or NYC...

I don't see this comment or the one from last year in a political light at all. I just think it's bad form. Maybe as I get older, I'm more inclined to prefer the high road. I just see no point in getting into this territory, whether it's a blog, interview, whatever. Maybe it's just karma, as Ted ha...

I love this. And it isn't an interview, it's an op-ed. More like a blog post, really. The band is contributing different pieces to the magazine throughout the week. It's great to see Cooley opening up upon this album's release. I'd read a book he wrote on nearly any subject, and would love him to on...

Hmmm... GB - Panties in Your Purse PD - Bulldozers and Dirt SRO1 - Zip City (ducking) SRO2 - Let There Be Rock DD - Hell No I Ain't Happy TDS - Never Gonna Change ABAAC - A World of Hurt (I do love it but Patterson sites it as one of his top 3-5 songs, and I disagree) BTCD - The Monument Valley TBTD...

I'm really surprised that the A.V. Club, which was the debut site for the "Part of Him" acoustic video a few weeks ago (as one of their news items), hasn't reviewed English Oceans. They've reviewed every other DBT album and the last two Patterson solo albums and generally don't give short ...

GB - The Tough Sell
PD - Tales Facing Up
SRO (disc 1) - Birmingham
SRO (disc 2) - Life in the Factory
DD - My Sweet Annette

ABAAC - Wednesday

GGB - Ray's Automatic Weapon
TFP - Mama Bake a Pie
EO - Til He's Dead or Rises

I can't figure out how to not keep watching this over and over.

The list of artists putting out this kind of quality album 15+ years after their first record is very short and mostly limited to Mount Rushmore of Rock types like Dylan and Neil. Cooley is clearly inspired with a new set of kick-ass songs. Patterson is clearly inspired by Cooley. The whole band is ...

I feel like I've read most if not all of the reviews posted of the album, and of all the songs to barely get mentioned, there seems not to be a lot of ink for Primer Coat. I'm not saying it is the best song (although some days it is), but it certainly has a case for most appealing, especially to rev...

Tremendous performance!

well Jason gave EO a shoutout on twitter.. it got 68 replies in an hour.. i think thats pretty good any twitter experts? You probably mean retweets, not replies. Which is decent for someone with Jason's following, I suppose. DBT's official account also retweeted Jason. It's just good to see him chi...

Meanwhile, Hyden's old place, the A.V. Club, did NOT review the album today. Maybe tomorrow? Although I think they only post music reviews on Tuesdays... so... next week? Either way, that's a terrible job by them.

Not sure if already posted, but this Spin review makes no sense to me: http://www.spin.com/reviews/drive-by-truckers-english-oceans/ "From the girl in "Till He's Dead or Rises" who has "the fear of Jesus on her side" to the way in which "First Air of Autumn" is an...

They picked the right songs for the proper album. But this would make a fine start for a DBT comedy record.

Enthusiastic song by song breakdown:

Wow, now THIS is a review: http://www.jambands.com/reviews/cds/201 ... ish-oceans

I don't recall seeing this one yet, despite the good press already from Paste: http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2 ... ceans.html
