Great to see you again at the barn jonicont and Big Tom. Thanks for taping Tom, great snag. Solid show at The Egg tonight. My buddy was running a small PCM recorder from row 5 Cooleyville so we'll see. Sound was ok but nothing like Levon's Barn. Opened with Carl Perkins, closed with Angels and Fusel...

I'll be at 12/2 Albany for Patterson~

Yes it was a wonderful venue and the band was on fire. The Brewery did a fine job on their first outdoor show. It was wise to limit sales but as Bubba says, there was plenty of room for more. It was my son's first show and I got to meet Jeff, a long time fan and friend of the band. Great mix of song...

I always think a good writer manages to get his personality into his work. There's a likeable laidback quality to Cooley's songwriting which, I guess, reflects who he is but also leads to him being underrated imo. He writes fun, often funny songs. But they're full of fantastic lines that you almost...

What an awesome thread. Reminds me of what a newb I am and all I missed with my first show in '08. Never saw Jason with the boys.

Thanks bubba~

...again, the best songs are the ones you can't quite pin down. I'll never figure out just what happened to her mama in Bulldozers & Dirt.

I don't post a lot but this song has really grabbed me lately and it prompted me to stop in. I did a search for a thread on the song but just got pages of set lists so sorry if I'm duplicating. I ain't gonna wax political but with all that's going on today...even literally today, Cooley just knocks ...

The Opening Act

I was listening to Tales Facing Up for the thousandth time the other day and this crossed my mind. So... Tales Facing Up Company I Keep Where The Devil Don't Stay I'm sure it's different for other folks. I could actually tire of some of the classics but not those three. So what few tunes could the b...

Thanks for the setlist and great review guys. It was a fantastic show as always. I was a bit bummed though that I had three newbs with me and the sound in the Mez was terrible. It's always better on the floor but the vocals were rough.

Company I Keep always makes it worth the price of admission!

See you all at the rock show.

I'm so bummed that I didn't bring my taping gear...just assumed someone would tape. I have been told no taping at many venues but that has never stopped me from stealthing. The restriction will likely keep it from getting posted but one of the tapers who were shunned likely stealthed it. If it does ...

Thanks rickey.

Terrific show all around. Great venue....a little strange to have the place pin-drop quiet unlike club shows but refreshing to hear the music so clearly.

See y'all at the Rock Show!

This was a terrific show. Anyone from here attend it? MASS MOCA, North Adams =, MA 8/15/14 Stockholm Flying Over Water Go It Alone God Damned Lonely Love Tour Of Duty Streetlights Decoration Day Traveling Alone Different Days Live Oak Alabama Pines Yvette Codeine New South Wales Cover Me Up Relative...

but the state troopers are worse. Speed trap, drops from 70 to 55 before you know it.

...they ain't got a thing to do they'll get you every time!

Have fun at the rock show all y'all lucky stiffs!

Yes, terrific show.

Great post. Agree completely.

If you could wear out CDs, my Patterson recording from 9/20/12 and my Isbell one from 12/8/12 would be toast!

I hope Jason is happy as hell and still writes like the opposite. I'm like the happiest bastard you know. Beautiful wife, son, home...awesome career. That's why I'm attracted to sad bastard music. If I was sad, I'd listen to happy stuff. Rarely does anything good happen in songs by the Truckers, RA ...

Ryan Adams has never written a lyric as good as Elephant or Travelling Alone.

Got some RA brushing up to do 'eh?

Big Ryan Adams fan. I've seen him more than a couple dozen times in several States, I'm a moderator at ryamadamsarchive.com, met him several times and you're all correct. One of the biggest spoiled assholes in music. He can do a three + hour barn burner or he can kick the mic stand over and piss his...

It would be a serious Nigel Tufnel moment for sure!

Lol!

I would LOVE to see Jason rejoin the band. Guess that's how it goes with opinions. I'm also a huge RA fan so I skimmed past a couple of comments!

If Y'all missed it, my recording of Patteron last fall is really sharp. Zero crowd chat noise:

Great range of opinions in this thread.

Listened through a couple of times.

How does he do it?!

Just got my copy. Wow, very impressed with the first half I got to listen to heading into work this am. Don't know if its any direct influence from Ryan Adams but the opening of Songs She Sings is real close to RA's Afraid Not Scared. The best news is that he's coming back to Hartford this August. H...

It's not too bad. I'll try to finish it up this weekend and get it posted. Been real busy but I do want to share it with y'all.

Music is music and I could see perhaps DBT not being someone's cup of tea but to fail to see the talent there last evening is just nutz.

Cooleygirl, sorry to hear about your dad...been there, done that, hated it. Sayin' a little prayer for you and yours. Space City gets me every time as well.

Great review btb! Listening this morning and I wish I could say that my recording was better. It's ok, certainly listenable but damn it would have been sweet if they had let me in the balcony. The other option would have been to tape from my front row seat and just wait till the show started to rais...
