The Poojer Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I like it, but i kept waiting for more, very willie nelson-ish...apparently mike cooley wrote 6 of the 13 songs on this cd, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delete This Account Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Nice, find, Poojer. was told the new album comes out in February (actually, now March 4, I see) with ex-Dexateens bassist, Mike Patton (the mop-topped youngin sitting and playing acoustic in the video) now a full-time member of the band. He fills the spot vacated by Shonna Tucker. Though Patterson is the voice and face of the band, Cooley is it's conscience and heart, in my opinion. And I can argue that some of my most favorite Truckers songs are ones penned by Cooley. "Ghost to Most." "Space City. "Gravity's Gone" "Carl Perkins' Cadillac," which they opened their most recent show at the Town Ballroom with. Also have a real liking for the lyrics on "Cartoon Gold." Really good to see that the DBTs are still, ahem, "truckin." jw ADD: was also told that they were going back to the basics with this new album. and that's generally reflected here with this stripped down "acoustic" set. after toying with a more upbeat sound on their last album, and having already done the big, clanging Lynyrd guitar thing, i'm looking forward to seeing and hearing what comes next. their maturation process has been divergent and compelling. Pizza Deliverance still my favorite DBT album Blessing and A Curse comes next. Edited January 31, 2014 by john wawrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
