The Dirty South-Reissue Preorder
https://drivebytruckers.shop.musictoday ... lp?cp=null
In 2004 the Drive-By Truckers released what would become one of their best-selling album in their catalog. The Dirty South is a concept album that examines the state of the South, and unveils the hypocrisy, irony, and tragedy that continues to exist.
The album features live show staples like,
"Tornadoes", "Where The Devil Don't Stay" and
"Puttin' People On The Moon" as well as rarities like "Goode's Field Road" and "Daddy's
Cup."
The Complete Dirty South is a band-led rework of the original album. Principal member,
Patterson Hood, Took the reins and reimagined this record as it was originally intended. The complete version features re-sequeced audio, three additional tracks, four remixes along with updated vocals.
The packaging comes with a perfect bound book featuring liner notes from Patterson
Hood, track by track descriptions from Mike Cooley and Jason Isbell as well as never before seen photos along with updated artwork from the late Wes Freed.

I bought the version with the signed litho from New West. $60 is a steal for this package!

Re: The Dirty South-Reissue Preorder
I snagged that one, too. Might as well put even more DBT stuff on my walls.

Re: The Dirty South-Reissue Preorder
I will no doubt be pre ordering this but I do have mixed feelings. I love the way it all looks and always look forward to new releases. However I have never been into bands redoing previous albums. After so many years of listening to the original album it is hard for me to get into new versions. I have listened to PPOTM but something just feels off. Maybe it's just me and I will get used to it. I do look forward to hearing the whole album before I make any judgement. But like I said I will be ordering this immediately.
Re: The Dirty South-Reissue Preorder
Haven't heard the new PPOTM yet but I think the re-recorded versions of Uncle Frank (on The Fine Print) and Gravity's Gone (on the greatest hits record) are both much better than the originals. So I'd say it bodes well for the new ones here.lajakesdad wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 12:21 pmI will no doubt be pre ordering this but I do have mixed feelings.

Re: The Dirty South-Reissue Preorder
Yeah, PPOTM is one of my more favoriter songs, but agree the version on The Fine Print is far superior. Patterson's falsetto just didn't really work on the Dirty South version. Looking forward the re-issue, except you bastards already bought out all the signed copies.Clams wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 1:28 pmHaven't heard the new PPOTM yet but I think the re-recorded versions of Uncle Frank (on The Fine Print) and Gravity's Gone (on the greatest hits record) are both much better than the originals.

Re: The Dirty South-Reissue Preorder
Yeah I don't love the newer Uncle Frank. And I didn't even know the version of Gravity's Gone was different. I didn't spend too much time with that one.

I am crushed I missed an opportunity at one of these. There must have not been many available to go ever so quickly.

I am normally not a big fan of reissues, but this one kind of makes sense, so my pre-order is in.

Re: The Dirty South-Reissue Preorder
Have known about this for a little while, glad the word is out.
Ordered immediately yesterday, was able to grab one of the signed versions.
Can't wait to see the included book and read all the liner notes.
New vocals on PPOTM sound really good IMO.

Very different for sure. Only one listen in, but I strongly prefer the original version.lajakesdad wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 12:21 pmI have listened to PPOTM but something just feels off. Maybe it's just me and I will get used to it.

Re: The Dirty South-Reissue Preorder
Does anyone know if all of the songs are going to have new vocal tracks? I'm down for remastering to clean up the sounds but all new vocals might take some getting used to.Clams wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 9:46 amI agree about the vocals but I think the remastered music on the new version sounds a lot bettercortez the killer wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2023 8:58 pmVery different for sure.

Got mine from New West yesterday.
Packaging was great but unfortunately mine was missing the 2nd LP.

Re: The Dirty South-Reissue Preorder
Unfortunately, this seems to be an off-center pressing on LP2. It only seems to affect Side D. I got the whiskey-colored collector’s edition and, e.g., Goddamn Lonely Love is basically unlistenable with all the pitch drift. Anyone else? I have an email ticket in to New West about it. I’ll keep y’all posted.

Re: The Dirty South-Reissue Preorder
Meh is all I can say. I can appreciate what they did but I doubt this will get much replay. I don’t mean to be a stick in the mud, but the original is still the definitive version for me. A bit unnecessary to be honest.
Re: The Dirty South-Reissue Preorder
My LP just came yesterday and I haven't had a chance to spin it yet. I got the same one you did. Hopefully if this is a widespread issue they will rectify it. I recall that happening with the first pressing of The Big To-Do and them replacing them for everyone.Mundane Mayhem wrote: ↑Sat Jun 17, 2023 8:13 pmUnfortunately, this seems to be an off-center pressing on LP2.

MMJ’s “It Still Moves” remaster is the only one I can think of that made me delete the original version forever. That remix was like a completely new album and was infinitely better

Re: The Dirty South-Reissue Preorder
In terms of the music itself, the new “Sands of Iwo Jima” is a pretty huge improvement, to my ears.
I’ll have to reserve judgment as to how putting TVA, Goode’s, and GCDW back into context affects my relationship to those songs. Too early to tell.
The booklet is STUNNING and so well done. Really enjoyed digging into that yesterday.

Re: The Dirty South-Reissue Preorder
Appreciate the recommendation. I never really dove too deep into their catalog. I have some time tomorrow so I’ll work on that. I take it I should start with this one in your opinion? I have heard nothing but great things.Zip City wrote: ↑Sun Jun 18, 2023 8:57 amI think you can say that about the most reissues/remasters.guitarmanmcs wrote: ↑Sun Jun 18, 2023 12:52 amMeh is all I can say.

Re: The Dirty South-Reissue Preorder
I think It Still Moves stands up as the “if you don’t like this, you won’t like MMJ” record.
