This is the best performance of this song EVER. This is what being a songwriter is all about. He delivers this song with just his voice and his guitar and it's amazing.

...and most casual music fans won't go to a show by someone they don't know a lot about...even if the price is reasonable or free...they'd rather go listen to a shitty cover band or DJ than take a chance on an original band that they haven't heard of...

People don't know when shows are going on too. Advertising is virtually non-existent, which is inexcuseable in this digital world. I've missed many bands I'd love to see, and I follow venues and artists I like on the social media sites, and many times they don't even put info on those websites. Then...

My band played to about 15 people once, and one guy came up to the stage between songs and demanded his money back because we wouldn't play any CCR. Our lead guitarist told him to get the f**k out of here and go start his own band, which got a good laugh fromt the other 14 people in attendance.

I appreciate the Rev's heads up as I definitely would have been disappointed if I had shown up and there was no Neff but as it stands, it still turned out to be a very solid show (even if there was low attendance). She said they hoped to play on a weekend next time. If so, hopefully the turnout wil...

I think it's wrong to adverstise a gig as "Shonna Tucker and Eye Candy" and then show up with essentially a completely different band. I don't know why she's playing with a different band, but she should just advertise it as "Shonna Tucker" if that's going to be the case.

This will either be epic, or Jason will just hang out and watch the show.

no Neff again...

Neff and Bo are not touring with Eye Candy. It is a four piece with a different guitarist. I caught them last night in NYC. I thought it was a good sounding band but no Neff on pedal steel.

That's weird...wonder why? Different drummer too it seems???

I thought I would miss it, but I don't...not at all...

great recording. Sounds like a really good concert. Guys are playing really well right now.

no tapers in the house for this?
Would love to hear the songs with Mickey Raphael on harmonica, but haven't seen a recording surface or even anything on the youtube...

Capitalism I guess...but what a jackhole anyway....

did any of the facebook dumbasses even read the article or listen to the interview? Holy shit...Niether Patterson, nor Cooley said the word Republican at all in that interview did they???

Great interview with Jason. Such a candid and honest interview. Can't wait to hear the Patterson interview.

The first show I saw with Jay on guitar I was honestly thinking...oh man, what are they doing...get a new guitar player and let that guy play keys...

2nd show (Dubuque last fall)....hey this guys pretty good.

And now listening to the shows so far on this tour...JAY IS THE MAN...

Isbell = Class Act

via FB John Neff Well that was a lot of fun, opening for Leon Russell at The Cox Capital Theatre in Macon, GA! A couple of memorable quotes from the evening; "Y'all sound like Levon Helms' The Band, Linda Rondstadt, and Carrie Underwood."- a guy named Keith. And..."Oh yeah, Drive-by ...

wow...epic stupidity on the FB.
Cooley must love stirring the shit.

Pre-sales always give a nice bump in the first week.

Looks like they dropped all the way to #61 this week.

Just wanted to chime in that i'm loving the addition of the Hamond to these tracks. Also, listening to PPOM the other day, when the line, 'turning mountains into oceans, putting people on the moon' went by, made me think that the 'Made Up English Oceans' is a reference to the TVA lakes throughout t...

This is awesome news. WIth all the adversity these guys have gone through the past couple of years, to put out their highest charting album to date is a great accomplishment. Usually I write of Billboard rankings because they are full of bullshit (like the "Frozen" soundtrack being number ...

13 - 14 kHz probably explains why I don't hear it. I did a sweep once and mine starts dropping at around 9 - 10. . I don't hear crickets. The high frequency may explain why it wasn't detected. It's pretty common that the higher frequencies go when people get older. Don't know if it's common practic...

I'm glad none of these were on EO.

The Patterson songs would've all worked on a solo album, or maybe a different DBT album but not this one.

Altough I have to say that his solo on "Primer Coat", to me, is the best guitar solo on English Oceans by a mile. It's great, but the solos on Pauline Hawkins and Hearing Jimmy Loud are pretty awful But that's gotta be Cooley, right? The solo on PH I'm kinda warming up to a little bit, bu...

There's tape hiss, amp hum, bleed through from playing in a live room. I love it all I don't mind any of those. It's the high pitched squeal on Natural Light and the sibilance on First Air of Autumn (that would be easy to ignore if it didn't cut in and out) I think the squeal on natty light is Cool...

It's a shame that the sibilance stayed on the final master, but I'll do my best to ignore it. Yeah, I wish I was in the group of folks who can't hear it. Luckily it's only on two tracks (at least that I can notice). I'll tell you one thing though, I am grateful the Truckers gave us another amazing ...

Not sure if already posted, but this Spin review makes no sense to me: http://www.spin.com/reviews/drive-by-truckers-english-oceans/ "From the girl in "Till He's Dead or Rises" who has "the fear of Jesus on her side" to the way in which "First Air of Autumn" is an...
