DBT Week in Review - 8/12/11

Lauderdale

Shoal band Lauderdale released their 2nd record this week titled 'Moving On'. It is a mighty fine one that you should add to your collection. The song 'Grant Hotel' is one of the most rocking whore-house songs you'll every encounter.

A native of Florence, Hood talks about the influence of the area on his songwriting and discusses growing up as a second generation musician in Muscle Shoals.

Shawn Amos: PLAY > SKIP: This Week's New Music - The Civil Wars:

"Joy Williams and John Paul White look and sound like the White Stripes' turn-of-the century country cousins. The duo has only been together since 2008, but they sing like they share the same mama -- or lover. Songs like 'Barton Hollow' and 'Poison & Wine' (trotted out on 'Grey's Anatomy') carry forward the work started by such cult roots heroes as Gillian Welch and David Rawlings -- adding a layer of California pop sensibility, courtesy of Williams' West Coast roots. It's emotionally raw stuff dressed up in an unapologetically tight production. Still, the heart of these songs never succumbs to the studio slickness. The Civil Wars could be the new front in the battle to save modern country's soul."

'I really like the Ting Tings,' he said. 'They are fun. I'm not crazy about [a lot of] hip-hop these days. I lot of hip-hop artists are not as creative as they were in the past. They are piling on guest appearances. MIA is doing some cool stuff, though, and Kid Cudi is a talented guy.'"

A conversation with Drive-By Truckers' Patterson Hood [Music] | Louisville.com:

"But I'd say we probably at any given time have 125, 140 songs to choose from, to pull out at any moment. So, anything can go."

_______

Drive-By Truckers @ The Pabst Theater:

"If the phrase “salt of the earth” could describe any band, it would be the Drive-By Truckers—one of those rare groups that manage to exude authenticity and humility at the same time. So it was appropriate that the Athens, Ga.-based band was tapped to officially kick off Farm Aid, which celebrated its 25th anniversary this weekend at Miller Park. Like those Farm Aid champions, the Truckers keep their heads down, work hard and turn out amazing products on an almost yearly basis."

_______

Live Review: Drive-By Truckers, 9.29.10, Iowa City, IA - The Milk Carton - Forums:

"Very few bands have captured my imagination in recent times like Drive-By Truckers. I initially heard the band in my preparation for covering Lollapalooza 2010, and I haven’t looked back. The band’s got an impressively deep discography, and the surface was barely scratched at the festival. Needless to say, I pounced on tickets the second I saw they were giving me a hometown show. I gathered some friends, gathered some whiskey, and made my way to the show."

_______

Review Setlist: Drive-By Truckers and the Henry Clay People at the Pageant - St. Louis Music - A to Z:

"There are very few certainties in life, but there's one thing you can always count on: If Athens, Georgia's Drive-By Truckers are in town, you have the opportunity to see one of the best rock n'roll shows money can buy. That situation presented itself Saturday night, and roughly 2,000 folks took advantage of said opportunity -- each of which were rewarded in the form of rock n'roll salvation."

The Sound and the Fury: Austin's own Monster of Folk, Will Johnson Austin Music - AustinChronicle.com:

"'Centro-matic is my favorite band,' proclaims Patterson Hood of the Drive-by Truckers, who drafted Johnson and Danbom for his 2009 solo album, Murdering Oscar (And Other Love Songs), and accompanying tour. 'I was a huge fan long before I met them. I don't know if I can even put it into words. Every once in a while, something comes along that's just like nectar music. It's got everything I like in one place, as if I've been hearing it all my life.

'Centro-matic ought to be one of the biggest bands of the world. They're a fourpiece without an ounce of flab, and Will Johnson is just an ungodly great singer and player. I hope I've been influenced by him.'"

10 Giants of Southern Rock Guitar:

"With their heady mix of fuzzed-up riff rock, rootsy acoustic shuffles and Crazy Horse-like excursions into the wild blue yonder, the Drive-By Truckers offer up an especially ambitious brand of southern rock. Favoring SGs and Gold Top Deluxes, frontman Patterson Hood generally tunes down a whole step in order to achieve the Truckers’ distinctive sound. The band’s sprawling 2001 opus, Southern Rock Opera, paid conscious tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allmans, and the Marshall Tucker Band."

Film Review: The Secret to a Happy Ending at Northwest Film Forum:

"Drive-By Truckers is a musical family affair; not just because inspired leader singer/songwriter Patterson Hood is the son of extremely supportive Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section bass player David Hood, or the fact that he has been collaborating with fellow Shoals, North Alabama vocalist/guitarist Mike Cooley for decades. DBT is an extended filial force driven by a web of affection and responsibility within the band — which also includes another vivid vocalist and tunesmith, Jason Isbell, married to bass player Shannon Tucker; and longtime drummer Brad Morgan — and a deep connection to their fans."

Jeff Pollack: The Music Industry's New Model: Where Is It?

"Individual artist apps aren't new...in 2009, some of the major labels rolled out apps for a few of their largest artists built largely around exclusive access to video content, mainly performance clips, promotional items, and behind-the-scenes peeks. But that simply is not enough; there has to a more unique offering to entice real fan engagement. Artists can only generate real revenue from apps on a long-term basis if the fan is getting something they deem valuable.

So, the battle to discover the new model continues on all fronts as the realization sinks in that the answer surely will be a combination of ideas (such as bundled subscriptions, cool artist apps, compelling fan experiences), not one magic solution. One thing won't be the answer, everything will be."

The GOP's Deliberate Sabotage

The GOP's Deliberate Sabotage.

It's been their strategy since day one. God forbid the 'unpleasantness' of it all sully those poor, poor 'reporters' fragile little minds.

The Washington Monthly:

"It's unpleasant to think about, and I really hope it's not true, but it may be time for a discussion about whether GOP lawmakers are trying to deliberately sabotage the economy to help their midterm election strategy. After all, these same Republicans have supported deficit-financed tax-extenders before -- there's no credible reason to change course now. On the contrary, with the economy struggling to break through, the need for this package is more obvious, not less, if your goal is to actually improve economic conditions."

Courtland Milloy - Tolerance of white militias exemplifies racial double standard:

"Imagine that the inauguration of President George W. Bush had sparked an explosive rise in African American militia groups. Suppose thousands of heavily armed black men began gathering at training camps in wooded areas throughout the country, devising military tactics for 'taking back their country' after what they believed was an electoral coup.

Do you think Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney would have reacted to a black militaristic buildup as coolly as President Obama has to the phenomenal growth of white militias?"

There's Party Music, Then There's After The Party Music | WABX 107.5:

"That's where you'll find the Drive-By Truckers. If bands are tagged by chiches. their mantra might be 'Y'all ain't from around here, are you?' The greatest Southern party bands make you feel as if you're sitting back with a smile, surrounded by friends, and looking forward to the adventures you'll have before the night is over. DBT music is about when all the good liquor is gone, you're slumped like a millstone in someone's living room and you're drinking warm Boone's Farm because it's the only fucking thing these assholes have left in their cooler. We've been there -- when you decide this party sucks anyway, but you're too pissed and too wasted to get up and leave, which is okay because you have no where to go anyway."

The Gibson Interview: Drive-By Truckers’ Patterson Hood:

"Few contemporary bands have furthered southern rock traditions quite like the Drive-By Truckers. Beginning with their 2001 opus, Southern Rock Opera, the six-piece group settled on a three-guitar approach that’s involved personnel changes, but has never wavered in its ragged spirit."

_______

Relix - Reviews - CDs - Drive-By Truckers: The Big To-Do:

"In 2009, the Drive-By Truckers spent time in the studio laying down tracks for what would turn into two separate releases. The Big To-Do, the first of the two albums, contains a batch of potent rockers with an edge that has been missing since the days of 2001’s Southern Rock Opera. The Big To-Do is an album that will draw you in on first listen. “Drag The Lake Charlie” juxtaposes a catchy, twisted tale against a punchy groove that would make Tom Petty proud. Other standout moments include *Shonna Tucker*’s tender vocals on the bittersweet “You Got Another” and the crunch of Paterson Hood and *Mike Cooley*’s guitars on “This Fucking Job.”"

He argued that this was 'expressly prohibited' under their contract but said EMI argued that the clause did not apply to online sales. The case is likely to run for days."
