Got a request for this, and since this is not only still out of print but Patterson Hood himself said the following:
This one is out of print right now and probably will be for a while. Burn it if you can find it. I’m quite proud of this album, and will see to it that it gets reissued one of these days, but this just isn’t the time.

If you missed it or don’t care, enjoy this vid:
So I was going to post Part III of the halloween comp tonight, but after listening to it, it needs a little more tweaking….so tomorrow. Until then, I thought I would point you folks over to the video of an upcoming DBT track called Used To Be A Cop.
Drive-By Truckers “Used To Be A Cop” from Jason Thrasher on Vimeo.
well, a little late tonight, but I just got in and was meaning to post this earlier. It’s still a reasonable hour for the folks on the west coast. This is one of my favorite episodes of Austin City Limits. Primarily Ryan Bingham’s performance….one of the best ever on ACL in my opinion. Watch it and tell me I’m wrong.
Watch the full episode. See more Austin City Limits.
Just a few heads up here for DBT fans who may not know, you can now download the exclusive Vinyl only track from The Big To-Do called “Girls Who Smoke”. Download it here (you’ll have to give an email address)
DBT also recently did a killer session with Daytrotter that is available for stream and download here
They also have a recent appearance with some great interviews on the American Routes show on public radio that you can listen to here
And finally they also have “webisodes” for most of the songs off The Big To-Do up here
Well, let’s kick off the “summer of 1k posts” with this little ditty by the Stroker Ace himself. Now some of you may know about this, it was a limited edition 45 that was only released to indie record stores for this past Record Store Day. And if you don’t know what Record Store Day is, well it’s a day that bands who care about independent record stores push out exclusive items to those stores, and those stores only in hopes of driving up sales. Their are also typically a lot of in-store performances that go on that day (Check out DBT themselves performing at Harvest Records in Asheville, NC)
Well, anyway, this particular 45 is so far the closest thing we are going to get to the much desired Cooley solo album. The story I heard on this was that Cooley had laid down the vocals kind of impromptu on this track under the influence of some pretty good substances it sounds like. The band loved it but they weren’t going to release it. Cooley relented however and his love for indie record stores made him decide to release this as an exclusive. He even went so far as to pose for that silly cover!
Anyway, I get a kick out of this every time I hear it and thought you folks would too. Special thanks to Brit for picking this up for me! Keep pluckin….keep pluckin…..keep pluckin……
As some of you may know, I’ve been spending the week in Cincinnati. One of the things I always try to do when I hit a new city is check out the local record stores. Thanks to some help from a few locals, I got some great tips for where the good record finds are in Cincinnati. Places like Everybody’s Records & Mole’s Records which is a sleepy little store right off UC campus that any vinyl hunter could easily spend a week in if unchecked (crates from floor to ceiling completely unsorted). One of the record stores I was told I HAD to go to was Shake-It Records. Shake-It from what I gather is somewhat of an institution in Cincinnati, and rightly so as it’s one of the most eclectic, friendly, and organized record stores I’ve been to.
Now I haven’t had a chance to listen to this yet, because my turntable is back home in Virginia, but I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on this. What I can give you though is a killer live version of side B: Everybody Needs Love
Download Drive-By Truckers – Everybody Needs Love (Live) here
Order Dangerous Highway: A Tribute To The Songs of Eddie Hinton here
Here’s a great vid of one of the new songs from The Big To-Do, due out March 16th. The band starts their Big To-Do tour tomorrow, and they are also offering a free download of the first single, a song called This Fucking Job. In even more DBT news, they will be screening the first ever DBT documentary entitled The Secret To A Happy Ending in Feb. I can’t wait to see that!
How bout a quick news blurb? Just wanted to tell you guys about 3 albums I’m excited about next year.
