I have never heard that

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.

Nice. What It Means would be a nice title as well, I think...

You'll feel like shit soon enough

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.

Should we add "Flight 218 to Denver"?

“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.

Appears the album will be called American Band.

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

Also a bunch of new tour dates posted!

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.
