I thought we had all taken an oath never to use the phrase "Southern Fried" again.

Re: Drive-By Truckers articles
Thanks for posting that mark. I would missed it otherwise. Strangely enough, I'd say this is fairly accurate.
“I'd have to say musically, to me they sound most like the early ‘70s Stones and Neil Young, though they have a side that is more genuinely country than either of those artists quite pulled off,” said Royce Green, local DBT fan and President of M.A.S.H. ( the Myrtle Beach Society of Homebrewers).
Drive-By Truckers’ early work comes off as a darker version of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers backing up Merle Haggard while playing through Crazy Horse’s amps.

I haven't even gotten close and I already have a new favorite sentence: "What else can I say about Raw Power that hasn’t already been said about prison riots or a unicorn having sex with a ’55 Chevy?"

I'm about a third of the way through this and there are more great lines and potential thread defining or thread ending contributions to multiple threads here than i can even count. Great stuff!! And no doubt the Raw Power description is one of them, JohnA.

Re: Drive-By Truckers articles
The Velvet Underground minus 75 IQ points plus a gallon of Boone’s Farm equals the Doors.
So why did I award [The Grateful Dead] the belt for this year? You gotta listen to the tapes, maaan. When it comes to live Dead, any year between ’69 and ’74 is pretty reliable — now more than ever, because enjoying live Dead no longer involves spending time with actual Deadheads.
As much as I admire the Ramones, I don’t love them as much as Cheap Trick. If I awarded the belt based purely on my own opinion, Bun E. Carlos would be wearing it around that majestic beer gut of his right now. I don’t take this for granted. Cheap Trick still being so accessible is like if the Fantastic Four were your local police department.
If mid-’80s Metallica were competing at any time in the 21st century, it would be no contest. James Hetfield would be drinking James Murphy’s blood out of a Master of Puppets chalice. Blame history, not me.

Lester Bangs: "A lot of the times the things we were writing about are not is what is most popular, in fact quite often they're not. If it was true, then ‘Raw Power’ by Iggy & The Stooges probably would be the best selling record of all time."

We're actually skipping the GA Theater next Friday to stay in Nashville to eat at Husk.

Thanks for the link Kudzu. I see the banner at the top of it says Rolling Stone Country for whatever fucking reason.

They just did an article called 50 Rock Albums Every Country Fan Should Own that included Southern Rock Opera which was also a Rolling Stone Country feature.. The list also included such "rock" albums as Sweetheart of the Rodeo, The Gilded Palace of Sin and Grievous Angel. I guess if including the Truckers in their RS Country articles helps expose today's country music fans to them, it's not altogether a bad thing.

I think the article was great and many of his observations were indeed trenchant but I think we have entered a phase where all music critics aspire to write like Chuck Klosterman in much the same way as they once longed to write like Robert Christgau or Greil Marcus.
