I've always assumed the protagonist was make, the teenage girl in Chattanooga his mother, and never considered it otherwise. Interesting to listen to it the other ways now.

Nothing really to add, but I doI remember reading that this was written about touring Australia with Justin Townes Earle.

Hands down my favorite song of Jason's. Beautifully heartbreaking, and I love the way the protagonist wants to believe that things may work out, but knows deep down it won't. I can't break this song down any better than whoever wrote this did, so I'll just share it here. The town: The song is set in...

This song is somewhat nostalgic to me. I swear, listening to it makes me actually feel a youthfulness, more so, than remember one.

Wal-Mart has missing kids and runaway on the wall. If the protagonist's inspiration comes from WalMart photos, this song just got a lot more depressing It actually is from Wal-Mart photos. Jason said late one night he needed some pajama jeans or something, and WalMart was the only place open that h...

I took it to be about your first sexual relationship. I've always loved this song. In the story from the show, Jason says something along the lines of, "In real life this was a whole lot more innocent than how it sounds in the song..." I'd like to know how Sunnie felt about it when she first heard ...

This one is an easy song to play, sing and sing along to but yet is has depth as a character study. That's a difficult thing to pull off. Indeed. It feels light and breezy, but the words cover weighty ground. What do y'all make of the "I tried to be some ancient kind of man one that's never seen th...

Smitty made me remember this and wonder where the new songs fit in. Turns out, for me, mostly doubles and triples. I'm 30 or 40 spins in, so I think they're settling in for now; too early to say if that's where they'll stay. Children might rise, a few others may trade places. Alphabetical within ca...

If that's the case, he's really out of touch with the modern mainstream country listeners.

I meant lyrically. Also added Speed Trap Town to those numbers.

I can be a dick.

Does anyone mind sharing SMTF??

Anyone mind sharing a copy?

I struck out for Friday night, and was waiting, hitting F5, at 9:59. Hopefully I'll be able to score Friday.

Presale code tomorrow morning is SOMETHING.

Can anyone help me out with that Arkadelphia album? Would be much appreciated!

From the Workplay show.

Also saw him do Richard Thompson's "Keep Your Distance" at the Franklin Theatre in 2012. You can download the show somewhere.

I have a copy of him doing Outkast's Hey Ya somewhere. I think he might've still been with DBT.

Was stoked to hear Runaway Train.

I've always assumed the protagonist was a female too.

I had wanted to ask the same since listening to Patterson on Marc Maron.

1-Zip City...Long time favorite, first time I've seen it live. 2-Heathens...One of the most important things to me about this show was getting to hear Patterson and Jason sing together. "She ain't revved til the rods are thrown", is the perfect example and the reason I was hoping to hear t...

Is it one mp3 or tracked?

It's not tracked. Sounds good.

Walked past the theatre a few minutes ao, there is already a line forming.

Smh.

Cool, thanks!

Does anyone know what the show is gonna be like? Is it essentially JI rejoining the Truckers for a night, or more likely the three of them sitting on stage taking turns playing songs? The billing alludes to the latter but it's hard for me to imagine them sharing a stage again without a rock show. An...

Hampton downtown is the closest to the theatre. Hotels.com has it for under $100 right now.

Please let me know if anybody ends up with an unspoken-for ticket. I have a friend who missed out Thursday and I'm trying to find him one. Thanks! I'm in the same boat, had a buddy that told me not to worry about getting him a ticket cause someone else was going to get them a few. Missed out, and n...
