Re: Homecoming 2018: Songs We Want Brought Back
I do love Daddy's Cup and would love to hear it live.
My list would be:
Cooley:
Checkout Time in Vegas
Cottonseed
Sounds Better in the Song
Lisa's Birthday
Hood:
Bulldozers and Dirt
Tales Facing Up

Re: Homecoming 2018: Songs We Want Brought Back
In the interest of expanding my mind, I did some due diligence. This video that GuitarManUpstairs posted on the Track of the Week thread for "Daddy's Cup" is great. I would never take a piss break during this song if it rips like this. It is way, way more interesting to me than the album version (and a particularly good fit for Isbell's blues-inflected guitar style).

Re: Homecoming 2018: Songs We Want Brought Back
Here is my list. I'm omitting songs that I just don't expect to hear under the best of circumstances. (Daddy's Cup, Buford, etc.) Patterson seems to do a pretty good job of digging into the vault. We need a lot more deep Cooley tracks.
Carl Perkins (IMO should be a standard. I'd give up a night or two of Zip City for this to return to regular rotation)
Pauline Hawkins
Too Much Sex
Steve McQueen
Hearing Jimmy Loud
Perfect Timing
Life in the Factory
Heathens (don't think this was played last Homecoming?)
Self Destructive Zones
Checkout Time
This Fucking Job
Cartoon Gold
Primer Coat
Part of Him
Box of Spiders
One of These Days
Get Downtown
Idea: I wonder if we had an additional 3DD fund raiser for Nuci's Space if we could buy our way into Cooley performing Daddy's Cup. Hell, I would be happy to supply cue cards for him.

Re: Homecoming 2018: Songs We Want Brought Back
This is actually one of mine too. I didn't even bother to list it because it seems so unpopular around these parts. But screw it. I second Hank's post. I really like this song and would love to hear it live...although we probably have a better shot at Daddy's Cup than hearing this.hanklow wrote: A Blessing and a Curse

Re: Homecoming 2018: Songs We Want Brought Back
Not a fan of Mercy Buckets. The sentiment in the song is great, but the song itself doesn't do much for me. I feel the same about much of Neil's recent topical material (hell, even going back to LWW): agree 100% usually with what he's saying, but the songs themselves typically blow. Mercy Buckets doesn't blow, not saying thatbeantownbubba wrote:Daddy's Cup and Mercy Buckets are my top 2.

Good Lord. Mercy Buckets and Used to Be a Cop are two of my top 5 PH songs along with Heathens, Ever South and of course Living Bubba at #1.Zip Up to Michigan wrote:I think it blows.

Re: Homecoming 2018: Songs We Want Brought Back
Haven't spent the time thinking about rankings like many here likely have, but I can't imagine there are many Patterson songs below Mercy Buckets on my ranking

Putting those songs above R&N, Tornadoes, LTBR...well, really anything off the big three?

Re: Homecoming 2018: Songs We Want Brought Back
Ronnie & Neil and LTBR definitely make the top ten. I love Tornadoes of course but that one is probably not top ten. World of Hurt, Southern Thing and Righteous Path probably round it out. Like you say though to each their own. The key change in UTBAC is one of my favorite musical moments of the whole catalog and the bass line, both Shonna’s and Matt’s versions, is a highlight as well. Always reminded me of Bill Wyman’s bass line on Miss You.Zip Up to Michigan wrote:Different strokes I suppose. I get no value, lyrically or musically, from either.Tequila Cowboy wrote:

I certainly didn’t mean to be judgemental about it, just took me by surprise. I’ve never heard too much negative talk about those two songs is all.

Re: Homecoming 2018: Songs We Want Brought Back
Maybe if I gave it more time. I certainly think the character and story is important, I just think it's altogether a weak song that is a bit to repetitive and goes on for too long. Mercy Buckets... I will say, at least the horns are great on the live cut.
Forgot about World of Hurt! Another top 5 candidate for sure.

Yeah count me as another who doesn't love Mercy Buckets. I've always found it kind of boring. The lyrics are nice but the song has just never done all that much for me. That's true of a lot of the songs from that era though.whatwouldcooleydo? wrote:Not a fan of Mercy Buckets. The sentiment in the song is great, but the song itself doesn't do much for me.

Re: Homecoming 2018: Songs We Want Brought Back
Never would have guessed that either "Mercy Buckets" or "Daddy's Cup" would be "controversial" choices. While I'm a fan of "Used to be a Cop" I can sort of get someone not liking the album version. But the live versions? That's another thing altogether and puts the song in "classic DBT" territory for me.
