Re: Lee Bains III & the Glory Fires New Album "Old Time Folks"

Lee is a very important lyricist for these times and anything he does to me has great purpose. I feel this album is a good mix of a lot of their styles over the years. That song "Gentlemen" is one of the best he has ever written. Wow!

Thanks for your review kcghost, the highlight for me all night was Patterson, he was on!
No problem! Glad you thought the show was great like I did.

I was at the show. Yes, she was still the opener. For me “Shake and Pine” was weak as an opener. However the rest of the show was one of my very favorites of my many times seeing them even though it was 4-5 songs short from the norm. Obviously for me the highlight was “We will never wake you up in ...

Re: Welcome to Club XIII

Weird history lesson for sure. I agree that there is something off with the vocals and instrumental together but also agree that Cooley makes it work. Minus the history aspect I think its awkwardness is more in line with Slow Ride Argument for me sonically.

Re: Welcome to Club XIII

I’ll tell you, though, the more time goes on I think We Will Never Wake You Up in the Morning, is the best song on the record. It might be one of Patterson’s best songs ever in the same territory as The Living Bubba, Ever South and a few others. I've done some thinking of how this song fits in with...

A reminiscing historical piece that’s catchy and fun. Probably the most logical choice of the 9 songs. I really like it. Obviously Every Singl...

Too true. SOO many bands that I've like...

Re: Welcome to Club XIII

“The Driver” for me has subtle political references. Not to say that’s bad, as I agree with all they’ve ever said. It’s just a clear move for a more toned down approach from the more straight forward political commentary of the last three albums.

I have to say that this album really has grown on me. I am like many on here with wishing there was more Cooley.

Love the title “Trump Trilogy” for the last 3 records. Meant to respond to this earlier. Very catchy and cute but oh, I don't know, unsettling and puts the focus in the wrong place I think.

The Unraveling, along with Made of English Oceans, was my favorite DBT album since Brighter Than Creation’s Dark, but I think The New Ok is by far the worst thing they’ve released and that’s saying a lot because I’m no fan of the TBTD/GGB era either.
