Yeah, great show. And as much as I love Jason at a rock show, his particular brand of singing and songwriting is especially suited for a solo gig like that.

Glad to see Warren Haynes represented here. The other day On YT, I came across him covering Leonard Cohen and Metallica. Talk about range and talent.

Guess him playing Daisy Mae was wishful thinking. Aside from the throwaway chorus, I really like that song. For those who have seen him more often lately, is "Never Gonna Change" out of rotation? The extended version used to be a great closer.

I know he played In a Razor Town and Daisy Mae. Also, unless I missed it, nothing from the self-titled album.

Great show. Jason is one of the few artists who sounds better live than in studio. My wife remarked how good his voice is, and it was on full display last night. I also thought the fiddle fit well with the direction his music is heading. This was the sixth time I've seen the 400 Unit, but first sinc...

If you replace the second "L" with an "E," it's phonetically correct, and people will read it as "Bullets" instead of "Bults."

Nice article. I don't follow Jason on Twitter, so it was nice to get a glimpse of him away from the music, so to speak. As a writer, I especially liked this: "I just try to keep writing songs for the same reason I started, which is to explain the way I feel about things and maybe try to connect...

Love that answer.

They played it live at a small venue in Fayetteville, and it was the highlight of the show.

Thank you.

Heart on a String is a great song. Can't figure out who's singing with him, though.

I grew up in Arkansas; have no idea where Rector is. If I read this book, will I find out what happened to Austin Idol?

We've decided to stay for the weekend. Any suggestions on things to see, places to go?

Cover of "Walk On" w/ Jeff Tweedy on vocals (@ Schubas): LDRLsvqAHPA FUCK YEAH I clicked on this thread to post about the one BR show I was at — and I come across this. I was just pumped to see the band that night, and then he brings up Tweedy out of nowhere. Tiniest venue I've ever seen ...

Am I the only one thoroughly unimpressed with the bonus tracks? The cover is meh and I Hear You Hummin' is awful Agreed. Meh is how I'd describe the whole album thus far. It's a decent album, but after listening to it a few times, I just started going back and listening to all the other stuff I thi...

The wife and I are making the fairly short drive to see the show. Any suggestions on where to get a good burger or laid-back meal beforehand?

More like Hemingway.

I took it completely the other way - that alcohol was the only way he could deal with life, but in doing that, it just made life that much harder. As the "cure" of drink tends to do.

I think that's right. I take it as a metaphor, a way of saying, "Something's only broke if you refuse to fix it."

Happiness is one of the hardest things to deal with for some people. That's what I think of when I hear the "beauty" line.

Along with Lookout Mountain, one of my two favorite guitar parts in the catalog. But "filthy" is definitely the word for YDHM.

I have a similar story with a mix CD made for me awhile back. I was a big fan of SRO and TDS, but hadn't heard much of DD. The CD included 14 songs. Outfit was No. 10 and Decoration Day was No. 14. I would put the CD on while driving every day for weeks. On many trips to work, I would switch back an...

You like Your Daddy Hates Me. Your taste can't be all that great.

A great song to combo with Your Daddy Hates Me. There are certain lines in certain songs that grab you immediately the firt time you hear them. "to calm the badness, to execute the gladness" did that for me. A phrase that spoke to me given where I was at in life when I heard it. Of course,...

The band does seem to prefer slower openings. Or at least sparser songs. The obvious exception being the aforementioned WTDDS. On a related note, I always rank TDS ahead of DD, and a large part of that are the openers. The Deeper In is not a favorite, although it's better than the album's closer. [/...

Speaking of opening songs, the first thing I thought the first time I listened to GGB was, "I wish this thing opened with a better song." But with TDS being my introduction to the band, it's gonna be hard to top "Where the Devil Don't Stay" as an opener.

As far as what I've gravitated toward, Patterson's stuff has been hit and miss the last few albums. For my listening, almost all the filler on BTCD was his. But he saved the TBTD, IMO. That was his record. Now, for GGB, outside of Used to be a Cop (which is my favorite song), there's not a Patterson...

Maybe they'll play it in Charlottesville in a couple of weeks. It'll likely be the last time I see them in years.

DD - flawless creative masterpiece (I even LOVE Your Daddy Hates Me) One of my favorite DBT tracks, and I wish they'd play it one of these days. For those of you who see lots of shows, is it ever in the rotation? I just love the guitar work on it and the opening verse is one of my favorites. I know...
