Thanks everyone for the kind words! And THANK YOU Ramonz and all involved for putting together such a great idea that raised a ton of money for a great cause in our community. Man that is an impressive total. I hate that I missed the shows and festivities this year and missed a lot of you fine folks...

In, with the crazy Cajun Eric, the McWhirters, my sister Willie, and my girlfriend Amanda in tow. Look forward to #9!

IN. Look forward to seeing all you fine folks!

My prayers are with y'all Bubba.

Item # 743 in "Isn't it Crazy How Far the Alabama Shakes Have Come" pZilrllV0wI Unbelievable I was there! It was incredible. What an honor for her. Everybody I talked to yesterday asked if I saw the Shakes. I dig em more and more each time I see them. Sir Paul was awesome. Had the crowd laughing th...

Keep your head up brother. You're doing an incredible job of staying strong. Don't doubt that. It's important to have a place to vent to. I'm glad you can.

I'll never forget the first time I saw the Muscle Shoals documentary. I was at some friends' house in Seattle and the part with Percy Sledge came on and one of the women busted into tears. He was powerful indeed. Here's the clip. RIP.

War on Drugs last night. I've liked 'em since all the hype started with the last album but I fully get it now. That was incredible.

So My Morning Jacket is playing at the Georgia Theatre. To say that I am in doesn't do it justice. Hope to see some of y'all there. Hey man did you get a ticket? Both the Presale and standard sale sold out in seconds. I got shut out. If you know of any extras please look me up. Can't believe they'r...

A blessing and a curse

A new brewery opened up downtown since last year's homecoming. It's a block north of the 40 watt. I haven't been yet but I like the beers I've had. The tour schedule and other info can be found here: http://www.creaturecomfortsbeer.com There's also terrapin brewery which is about a 10 minute drive f...

Hey everybody. We have a space reserved for us for a get together Friday afternoon from 12-5. It'll be a good chance to see all of our old friends and meet some new ones. It's at Transmetropolitan on Clayton St., just a few doors down from the Georgia Theatre. We have the entire upstairs of the rest...

'Patience for the Ride' by Centro-matic. Does anyone know what 'corporate mess' it is referring to? Insurance company greed after a hurricane maybe?

I had the privilege of being there in Athens and it was incredible. Both openers, Thayer Serrano and Dead Confederate were on top of their game. So was Centro-matic, to say the least. I don't know much of their stuff by heart but I've seen them so many times now that I recognize a good bit of their ...

Thanks for the guide Kudzu! I look forward to digging in. I'm glad you were there and felt the same aura Will. I was on the edge if my seat as if I was at an NFL playoff game. Awesome show.

I've been meaning to post this for a while. I was completely blown away by the Jason/John Prine show at the Fox in Atlanta Oct. 18th. The crowd showed up early for Jason and he got a few ovations that you normally don't see for an opener. You could hear a pin drop during most of his show. It was a b...

They're one of my favorite acts out there today. Their show at ga theatre a few weeks ago blew me away. I agree with Cole and Trym that Peyton Bradford, the former drummer, is definitely missed but they still bring it. Some of the band moved from Athens to Nashville and it seems to have influenced t...

Hey now!...

My good friend in Memphis is going and said he just wants to hear Cooley say '25 years later I was saying the same thing about Memphis.' I told him there was little to no chance of hearing it but you never know. Y'all have a good time tonight.

Got mine too. The Professor Longhair disc is making me plan a trip back to New Orleans. Thanks again!

Thank you sir. Mighty gracious of you.

Turns out that the Derek trucks superjam is actually Friday. But Saturday has tedeschi and trucks, Dbt, phosphorescent, jack white and the man, Lionel Richie. Still a great day. Dbtfan I'll be towards the front for Dbt with some fine folks from Toronto. I'll prbly be in a lucero hat. Say hello if yo...

Whoooooohoooo! Bout to load up and head up that way. Dbt, jack white, and a late nite set of Derek trucks on stage with Taj Mahal and Chaka Kahn is gonna make for a hell of a Saturday.

I'll be honest. I scratched my head a little when I saw that Alabama shakes were closing out Shaky Knees fest. Given the great bill, I wondered how they were the closing act. I won't scratch my head about them again. It was damn incredible. I was happy as hell for them and for all of us that got to ...

That Grand Canyon was flat out nasty. Matt's bass line took the ending to a new, dark place that blew me away. Great set, crowd and theatre. Benjamin Booker's garage sound was awesome. It's too bad they didn't get his sound right til the last couple of songs. It started a good night of loud, dirty, ...

Will they just let me sleep by the stage? I won't take up too much room. Hope DBT & Chris Robinson aren't scheduled @ the same time. I was hopin' for a TTB & DBT to play back-to-back too. Look forward to seeing you there Slip. The beauty of this fest is that nobody overlaps. The stages are ...

Just got even sweeter. Come on Neil...
