This album is flooring me. Heavy on the punk. Heavy on the country. Lots of nods to early Old 97’s and The Hangdogs.

This is going to end up in my Top 10. I’ve always kinda liked Spoon, but this has me diving in deeper.

That 49 Winchester album is really good

Besides XIII this has been in heavy rotation lately



Nothing fancy - just occasionally brilliant and always catchy heartland rock with a little country to it.

Patterson isn’t always a big melody guy, but there’s a very sneaky hook here. One of the mysteries of this album to me is that there aren't a whole lot of traditional hooks but damn there are a lot of ear worms coming from a lot of different songs. I've got parts of one or another of these songs in...

I didn’t like Maria on my first listen, but I’ve found the verse to be subversively catchy. It pops in my head a lot.

It’s not anywhere near Cooley’s best song, but I dig it. ESSF being it’s only comparison point doesn’t do it any favors.

It’s been 10 years since Heat Lightning, and in a way it feels like Patterson is kind of revisiting that material and putting a bow on his young adulthood. His writing on both this and that are heavily focused on the AHC years, or at least examining the characters of that time in his life and where ...

“Shake & Pine” has wormed its way into my brain in a big way. Patterson isn’t always a big melody guy, but there’s a very sneaky hook here. There’s a vibe that reminds me of the best of Heat Lightning here. It hits me in the same way “Better Off Without” and “Disappear” did. Autumnal. Weary, but po...

I actually think this is one of the most “DBT” style songs from Patterson in awhile. A lot of his post Heat Lightning stuff has a similar vein to what he mined there. I do agree this would fit on Murdering Oscar, but I also think most of Murdering Oscar would work seamlessly with DBT and I wish they...

That riff is pummeling.

The Driver reminds me of a blown-the-fuck-out Ever South

I agree with the observation that there have been a lot of DBT Patterson songs in the past decade that sound like his solo work. He still has a few total PH/DBT songs up his sleeve on every album, but the vibe from Heat Lightning comes out all over the place still. It’s not a bad thing (I love Rosem...

I’m on a drive just cranking this and Club 13 back and forth. Between the energized performances here and the excellent Freed artwork it feels like a euphoric return to form. Which feels weird to say because I thought AB and The Unraveling were really good albums. But I feel good after listening to ...

That fucking rips

NM

Never in my wildest dreams would I ever imagine that NC band Sidewinder would ever receive a shout out in a song. However, if it's going to happen, I can think of no more appropriate place for them to appear than in one by Drive-By Truckers. Yet another page ripped from my youth showing up in a Tru...

Excited for a new album but I am not feeling the single Welcome to Club XIII. Kinda boring and the same sing song melody. Hopeful for the rest. That was my thought on the first listen. Liked it quite a bit after a few more spins. If nothing, it’s at least pretty catchy and light hearted. I didn’t f...

That new Ian Noe is really good.

The only guy who could drum for Dave Grohl. RIP.

They’re clearly going to. I have tickets to the Cain’s show and would like to “unplan” my Tulsa trip ASAP.

Hope it’s a good one!

I had to back out due to an unexpected funeral.

I got a lot of snaps from my cousin, and they sounded great.

Speaking of Cain’s, is anyone here planning on going? Awesome venue. Saw my first vaccinated show there last March.

And after Omicron there will be another variant. COVID will continue to exist in some form I’d imagine as long as any of us are alive. I’m not off loading my tickets or anything, I just have a hard time seeing them play these shows scheduled so closely to canceled dates. It’s 2020 deja vu, and I gue...
