Yes, go. I just saw Patterson at the Artscenter in Carrboro a few weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. He's presently touring in support of his third solo record, Heat Lightning Rumbles In the Distance which may well be his finest yet. I'm a longtime, diehard Truckers fan and I really enjoyed their performance at the Haw River Ballroom on Tuesday, a venue I've been longing to see them at ever since it first opened but Patterson set the bar especially high in Carrboro the other week. I laughed, I cried and I enjoyed one of the very best nights of live music I've experienced in a long, long time. The intimacy is lost at the big rock show but Patterson backed by Jay and the EZB restores it.Tequila Revenge wrote:Noticed some solo shows here in NO CAL-http://www.drivebytruckers.com/shows.html Thoughts?
Isbell's latest solo record, Southeastern, has been getting lots of accolades as of late, sometimes from unexpected sources like The New York Times, Miranda Lambert and Tom Petty (though the Truckers toured with him a few years ago, post-Jason). It's taken him a while to come into his own and earn respect as an artist outside of the Truckers. I'm glad to see it for him. I'm not sure what your take on his music is but this song is one of the most moving pieces of music I've heard in many a year.jbfinscj wrote:Wow I forgot about this thread. I respect what the music the truckers (past and current) members make, I'm just not a fan. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks I'll check it out when I get home.Tiki Torches wrote:Isbell's latest solo record, Southeastern, has been getting lots of accolades as of late, sometimes from unexpected sources like The New York Times, Miranda Lambert and Tom Petty (though the Truckers toured with him a few years ago, post-Jason).

Looking forward to seeing him here on July 2nd though it's not being billing as a show with the 400 Unit. The latest addition is guitarist Sadler Vaden who's been doing double time as of late with Drivin' n' Cryin'. I imagine Southeastern will be topping many Top 10 lists at years end.a1aara wrote:Saw Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit last night. All I can say is WOW! Go see this man. You will not be disappointed.

Here's more video and a short write up on Cooley's show at the Local 506 this past Saturday night.
DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS REISSUE ALABAMA ASS WHUPPIN’ ON SEPTEMBER 10TH
“They’re Athens, GA, by way of Muscle Shoals guys, children of Skynyrd and Suicidal Tendencies’ “Institutionalized,” with sharp brains buried deep in the caterwaul.” - Spin 8 out of 10
“Alabama Ass-Whuppin’ is like a good truck-stop breakfast – it sticks with you a while.” Billboard, Dec. 2000
Athens, GA – ATO Records will reissue the Drive-By Truckers’ Alabama Ass Whuppin’ on September 10, 2013. Alabama Ass Whuppin’ is the band’s third album. Originally released in 2000, the record has been out of print for years. The album has been re-mastered and includes updated artwork by Wes Freed. This will also be the first time the album has been available on vinyl.
Alabama Ass Whuppin’ documents a specific time for the band. Recorded from March 1999 through August of 2000 in clubs across the southeast including Tasty Word, The High Hat, The Star Bar, The Caledonia Lounge and the 40 Watt.
“This was our third album and the connecting thread between our earlier work and the band that we went on to become later. It’s a documentation of a period in time that I wouldn’t go back to for all the money in the world, but I’m proud of the shows that we played and the songs that we wrote, “ says Patterson Hood.
The band is currently in the studio in Athens, GA recording their 12th record. ATO Records will release the record early 2014.
Pre-orders for the record will be available later this week at: http://www.drivebytruckers.com and itunes.

A LONG TIME AGO, I WROTE THIS THING ABOUT GROWING UP IN THE SOUTH IN THE 70’s AND ALL THE BAGGAGE AND COMPLEXITIES THAT ACCOMPANIED SUCH. IT WAS PART OF A LARGER WORK THAT CULMINATED WITH AN ALBUM THAT MY BAND DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS MADE. WE CALLED IT "SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA."
