He and Kelly killed it when they came through a few months back.

Super underrated dude. I know I don't need to tell the good people at 3DD that.

This new album is awesome, psyched to get it on wax.

Count me among those who had NO IDEA this was a limited release. Off to order from the DBT store, I guess. This is easily one of my favorite albums of the year and I'll be listening to it for years, but since I now have the CD version AND a copy of This Weekend's The Night, I can safely say the, err...

So does anyone know when these will make it to stores? It's typical of my luck: I've pre-ordered the last few albums and been gravely disappointed each time. Had to see the albums in the record store knowing full well mine was floating around somewhere in the USPS, and after paying unreasonable ship...

I highly recommend this book. David's a great writer and his books are real geeky fun (and educational!).

"And as you venture forth into the world, I'd like to leave you with a little sage advice: Ain't nobody gonna stick anything up your ass if you remember who your friends are."

This is incredibly cool.

OK, OK, you twisted my arm:

UTBAC
Uncle Frank
A Ghost To Most
The Righteous Path
Dead, Drunk, & Naked
Marry Me
Love Like This
The Company I Keep
Heathens
Pulaski

(The 50/50 split is pure coincidence)

Is this the only Gillian Welch thread??

Why the hell are none of her albums available on vinyl?!

It's funny how all it takes for someone to be considered "real" country these days is to sing about whiskey and dress like an extra from Sons of Anarchy No beef with Stapleton; he's a good performer and some of his songs are decent (he was also really nice when I met him), but let's get real, his so...

Worth repeating: DD&N My first favorite DBT song, still in my top 3 But no complaints Wonder if the vinyl will show up this week Anyone impulsively buy This Weekend's The Night when they saw it at the shop because they just couldn't help themselves? Because, err... I certainly didn't do that! ;) :oo...

If anyone's interested in writing their own terrible piece on DBT, here are the puzzle pieces:, alt country (x4) debauchery (x2) "good ol boys" Lynyrd Skynyrd (x2) gothic novel a hell of a live show "catchy as hell" Muscle Shoals / David Hood dual guitar leads / attack (x4) Southern Rock (x3) "plain...

Great write up, btbubba. I think you nailed it.

Count me among the "First Air Of Autumn" fans, fwiw! Great song, great lyrics.

And I agree with PeterG that you just made the wait for the vinyl seem a little longer.

Of those, the biggest loss for me is Love Like This

I think yall are being a tad harsh on Shonna. "I'm Sorry Houston" was a good song, and most of the others she wrote are decent enough, and certainly none are embarrassing. I'll even take "I Hear You Hummin" over, oh, I dunno, "When The Well Runs Dry" or "Daylight." But that's just me. I also know fr...

from the forum over at jayfarrar.net: Packaging is minimal. No printed inner. No d/l card; no gatefold heavy card stock reissue here. The cover is matte not glossy. Surprising how NON-Celebratory this reissue is. I guess the artist picked the lease expensive package for rhino to bring to market.... ...

A few brief, random thoughts: --I really love the live arrangement of "Sounds Better In the Song" - difficult to improve on the recorded version but here we are. Ditto "The Righteous Path," one of my favorite DBT tunes, rendered here beautifully - I like the variation of the melody line, think it ad...

Has anyone purchased the vinyl version of the Trace reissue? In a disturbing trend (Truckers, Son Volt, etc), albums I've been anticipating for months have been only available on CD thus far (delays, negligent record stores, etc), and, well, you guys know what it's like to be a fan. Of course I boug...

Still digesting all of this (and on CD, no less - grrrrr) but damn this is one helluva set. Worth the wait.

Is it my laptop or do yall also have the photos smack in the middle of the text? I tried refreshing, no luck. Frustrating!

Can't wait to get this tonight (I can usually get new releases at my record store a day early). Can anyone who has this already tell me what the deluxe packaging is like? Like, are the included CDs in a proper jewel case / digipack, or just in paper sleeves? It may mean the difference between me buy...

Amazon pre-order is up, yall

Yeah I keep looking for the pre-order, too. Can't wait.

Yall have me excited with all this "Living Bubba" talk!

Ah, I was just coming here to post about how nice it would be to see a 20th anniversary vinyl reissue of Trace. Great news! I may bypass the bonus stuff completely but I will definitely be buying the vinyl reissue.

It'd be funny if all these records these kids never listen to had the wrong music on them. Like, you think you just bought that RSD copy of Deja Entendu , but it's actually some Liza Minelli album. Joke's on you, millennials! Of course, this raises issues about quality control and accountability. If...

Music is music. I want to consume it wherever I go Serious question for you (and Clams): Is this really a good thing? I've heard it said that "access is excess." And before you think I'm being self righteous, I find myself--despite every attempt--having less intimate relationships with records now ...

Have never purchased / will never purchase an MP3. As Kudzu says, and I agree, an album is an immersive experience, and the MP3 is only finishing the job punk rock started in annihilating the sort of attention span that once upon a time actually allowed teenagers to listen to sidelong suites of musi...

This:

If any of yall are keeping track of this sorta thing, please pm me if /when an Amazon pre-order for the deluxe box is up. There's some Grateful Dead stuff coming out around that time and if I can keep myself from pre-ordering this box from Music Today or whatever, I'm gonna bundle my two favorite ba...

Very excited. And $60 is a steal for this.

Someone talk me out of pre-ordering. I always do, and I'm always disappointed. But I've got the fever! Can't...help...myself...

Yeah, this has been going on forever. Exploiting kids who want to be 'famous' more than they want to be 'working musicians' is like shooting fish in a goddamn barrel, and now more than ever. If you know better (meaning, this ain't your first rodeo, your mom isn't driving you to the gig, etc) and you...
