Any new word on the album title/artwork/track list? Anything? I'm thirsty for this thing.

I was just thinking the same thing. I haven't heard a word about it which seems odd if it's coming out in 3-4 months.

I know this would be 'recycling', but I would love to see the Freed art from the front/back cover of the BTCD liner notes as the artwork for any DBT album!

I thought the album title was Filthy and Fried and that it's due in September.

That's the first I've heard of Filthy and Fried being used as the album title. Last I heard the album is due in September but I suppose that can always change.

I have not heard any rumors of Album Titles:

Likely Tracks (by my count):

Patterson
- What it means
- Baggage
- Ever South
- Guns of Umpqua
- Darkened Flags on the Cusp of Dawn

Cooley
- Ramon Casiano
- Surrender Under Protest
- Filthy and Fried
- The Day They Banned Imagine


EO has 13 tracks, so here's hoping there are 3-6 more they are holding back.
Love each other, Motherfuckers!

That's why I said "thought", I'd have to go through dozens of posts either on here or FB to see where I originally read it. Apparently, it is not the title.

Filthy & Fried would be their best title since Pizza Deliverance.

It would, wouldn't it?

Without knowing the track list, sequencing the record would be an act of folly, which is my middle name, so: Starting with "What It Means" and ending with "Ever South" would be one way of doing it that makes narrative sense. If Patterson puts "Tough To Let Go" on this instead of on a solo record, then it'd be somewhere in the middle.

Should we add "Flight 218 to Denver"?

I think that's being held back for the Cooley solo record. Can't remember the source that led me to think that though, so take it with a grain of salt.

I think there's 11 tracks on the new one unless they recorded some more.
E quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle.

I don't know much other than Cooley saying in an interview a little while back that he really wanted to do it and was making it a real goal for the first time. He said something along the lines of he would have done it already but just never had enough songs and realized he never would unless he made a solo album a goal of his. Here's hoping.

From a Flagpole article that ran back in February.
“We all want artistic freedom until about the third hour of staring at that blank sheet of paper, and then we’re just dying for someone to tell us what the hell to do,” Cooley says with a laugh, adding that some of his spare time is now devoted to forming songs for his first solo release, a move familiar to his counterpart Hood.

“I’m trying to push myself to write songs for something like that. I’m trying to carve out some kind of vision that points me to that blank piece of paper. It is important for me to do something like that at some point. I’ve always said that if I had the songs, I’d do it, but I don’t think I’m ever going to have them unless I make that a goal,” Cooley says.

Patterson also played new songs on the Dirt Underneath tour. Forged in Hell and Heaven Sent, Tough to Let Go. Those may be on new CD?

Why can't Cooley sing anymore? What happened? Is it strictly an age thing?

Finally! And a non Wes Freed album cover.. Interesting. First one since Pizza Deliverance? It's up for pre order on the website: http://www.drivebytruckers.com/

Dig the song, I hadn't heard this one yet.

Also a bunch of new tour dates posted!

I wonder what's on the 7"? Nice that the first 2,500 will be pressed on red vinyl. Trying to decide if I'll preorder this from the DBT store (last few times that's been a disaster) or just go pick it up from a local record store on day of release since indy record stores are getting the red vinyl as well.

John A Arkansawyer wrote:I was listening to the 3/4/16 9:30 show in search of Patterson telling his mom not to vote for Donald Trump and ran into an exceptional version of this song, which I think goes like this:
From the comfort zone of history
On the lips of trusted relatives
To the wounded fragile minds of angry youth
No sooner was it over
Than the memory made it noble
A selective lens by which to point the view

Compelled but not defeated
Surrender under protest if you must
Compelled but not defeated

If it's all you can remember
Then it's been that way forever
And for six long generations it's been told
That among the fallen was tradition
That tradition was the mission
And that the wrongness of the sin was not the goal

Compelled but not defeated
Surrender under protest if you must
Compelled but not defeated

Does the color really matter
On the face you blame for failure
All the shaming for a ... losing cause
But the victims and aggressors
Just remain each others' others
And the instigators never fight their own

Compelled but not defeated
Surrender under protest if you must
Compelled but not defeated
Surrender under protest if you must
Surrender under protest if you must
I think that's very, very close. I'm still a little uncertain about lines three and four in the last verse. This is a clear recording of a clear vocal performance. I know when I heard the first three lines clearly, it hit me like hearing it the first time did. That first time, I had to go by feel and hook; this time, I think I heard just what Mister Cooley is saying.

There may be two separate things to take away from this. The first is the depth of compassion in Cooley's lyric. It's not stupid compassion; it's the kind that sees all the costs and adds them up and yet still exists. The second is that those of us who feel some level of despair for the times we live in now can consider have reason for hope, in the long term. Look, he's saying, at this very bad cause which has reached out of an undead past and keeps on grabbing people by the throat today. Worst case scenario, if they can hold out for a century and a half, well, maybe so can you. Watch and learn.

Or maybe I overinterpret. I've been known to do that.

Anyway, if someone can point me to where Patterson says the thing, I'd be very grateful. I've got the whole show running now that I've looked Compelled but not Defeated over pretty hard. Oh, wait! I guessed right--it's at the end of The Company I Keep.

And the other thing--I don't think it's the title for the record, but if there's a bonus release of some sort, I like "Alabama Kung-Fu". Wes Freed could have a field day with that one.
