Thanks for this, Patterson! Look, I'd been waiting for a new Springsteen record for like 5 years, and then it came and it was a masterwork. One of the best things about following you on the American Band tour (more intermittently for me this year, due to my very expensive honeymoon) was watching you...

I've never warmed up to that song either.

What!?

The song that introduced me to the Truckers and made me a fan!

Carmelita?! So so jealous.

Looking forward to seeing a show in my home state! Woo hoo! A friend of mine has an extra for Hartford that she is willing to give away for free. It is in a handicapped accessible section. If anyone is in need, please send me a pm and I'll get you in touch with her. I grabbed it! And now my friend ...

I know it's a newer one, but once "Natural Light" faded out of the setlists, it stayed out. I miss it so much!

Just called to try to get my Marriott rate reduced and I couldn't. Fuuuuuck.

"Filthy and Fried" and "Ever South" were my favorites out of the box and are likely going to remain that way, but there's nothing at all bad and most of these are top notch songs that can compare favorably with the rest of the catalog. However, a song I didn't love at first, "Sun Don't Shine," has s...

Booked my room a few weeks ago based on Patterson's probably. SO GLAD I DID. And Trae Crowder! WOW!

PS this will be the first time since they switched to February that I can go to all 3 nights. I am THRILLED.

Of all these awesome, intense, meaningful songs, how come it is that "Filthy and Fried" is the one that's hitting me the hardest? And why is "Ever South" #2? I'm not southern! THIS ALBUM IS TOO MUCH GUYS.

Of all the songs, "Filthy & Fried" was the one that brings the tears to my eyes. I need to get deeper. Wow, really? Guns Of Umpqua is the tear jerker for me. I can't listen to it around people really, if I do I try to take my mind elsewhere because if I listen too close I will get glassy eyed. Yeah...

I never met Matt, but I saw him at so many shows and his influence is obvious. Be well, Matt! Thank you for everything!

In for Kansas City and Minneapolis! WOO HOO!!

I would have guessed that lots of folks opened show threads at least to see the set lists.

That's what I do!

I know this is said about every album, but wouldn't it be nice if this were their "breakthrough" record in terms of reaching a wider audience? Given the unique political, social, and economic position we find ourselves in, and having the best lineup and best chemistry ever, they could be the right ...

"Kinky Hypocrite" sounds more Cooley than Hood, but I'm ready to believe different. I try not to listen to live tracks until the studio version's out (unless I'm there), so this only the second time I've heard "Surrender Under Protest." Well, it's been an hour, so it's the 12th time.

Any new word on the album title/artwork/track list? Anything? I'm thirsty for this thing.

One of the first things I ever got when getting into DBT. Weird.

I wonder if the record after this new one will have some Gonzalez and/or Patton compositions on it? I was thinking it was about time for those two to break out some songs, and I'd be very interested in hearing them. Or maybe play them at the Rock Shows if they don't make the cut for the album. I've...

Unsure why "Girls Who Smoke" is my jam. I mean, it's DBT going kind of New Wave and it's a little weird and fun and I LOVE IT. Almost as much as "Women Without Whiskey," which, yes, I cried at (again). I explained last night: "I don't get it. I don't really drink much and I'm not into ladies, but t...

Clams, what a killer writeup. Thank you so much for this. As for that Gene Autrey acoustic: I know NOTHING about guitars, and that thing thrills me every time I see it.

SO great to see you last night! Let's do it again soon!

Very excited to get Company I Keep, Girls Who Smoke( which is both mine & Kevidently's jam & we were together to enjoy it) & Play it All Night long. Surrender Under Protest keeps getting better & better. Love it when Jay, Patterson, Cooley & Matt come to the front of the stage to sing the chorus. I...

Hey all! Remember me? I was the one in Brooklyn crying over "Women Without Whiskey." Also I have a Kickstarter thing happening. A little over 60% fulfilled in my quest to Kickstart my book on Blitzen Trapper! Help me over the hump! My hope is, after I'm done with this book, I can write more album-fo...

Hello all! We are in the throes of my Kickstarter campaign for my new book on Blitzen Trapper. The band is providing rewards up to and including BACKSTAGE PASSES. I KNOW RIGHT. This book project is a little offbeat and extremely exciting: a slim book on the Blitzen Trapper album Furr, written on spe...

Hello again, all. You may remember me from such hits as "drinks one shot of bourbon and calls it a day at Homecoming" and "that guy who went psycho batshit during 'Women Without Whiskey' and had to be restrained at Homecoming." That's me! You may also remember me as the guy who wrote Blitzen Trapper...

The boys are not fucking around. Only been seeing them live since 2012, but tonight was easily the best show I've seen. And the best crowd too. Everyone seemed transfixed by the brilliance of the show. Polite, smart people focusing on music. Yay for us! Agreed - a lot fewer talkers and rambunctious...

Who all is going to the Providence show at the Columbus? Just got me some tickets.

Courtyard no longer offering the $99 DBT rate. Apparently the block of rooms is sold already. I believe I got the last one. BY THE WAY, SEE YOU THERE! (Apparently, Valentine's/Anniversary rules apply once again - the husband doesn't want me traveling ON our anniversary, so I'll again be missing the...

Marty Loving (thank you, Sir) was kind enough to record and share the Mills River show here. https://archive.org/details/DBT2015-10-08 Haven't gotten a chance to listen yet, but 15 songs? Anyone there know why the set was so short? Did it rain? It was 17 songs. Marty missed a few while tracking. Sh...

Zip, I'm abandoning Disney World to go, and I like Disney World WAY more than like half of my parents! You can abandon your parents!
