Good, Sad and the Ugly
I’ve got a couple of good, sad and ugly news to report in the music world today.
To start off, one of my favorite bands is the Drive By Truckers. I’ve been a fan for several years but have yet to see them live. I was hoping to catch them with the lineup of Patterson Hood and Jason Isbell. Jason Isbell joined the group shortly before Decoration Day and immediately made an impact in their songwriting. In fact you could argue that Jason was thhe reason that DBT where as popular as they are. It does seem that Jason’s songs where the ones that I couldn’t get out of my head and sung along to.
Well, it seems that Jason and DBT have parted ways. Can’t say we didn’t see it coming. The good news is Jason has a new album ready to release. “Sirens Of The Ditch” will be released on July 10th and I’m sure will just continue to reassure my suspicion that HE was in fact the thing that made DBT what is is.
On another note, another of my favorites, Wilco, just released a new album and DVD companion. I am downloading it as we speak (legally) and will comment on it at a later date.
