Too buzzed to try to formulate an intro, but good luck with this.

Just saw them Saturday night at the 40 Watt. I'm a bit late to the party as I'd never heard them 18 months ago despite living 20 minutes from Athens, but they're a can't miss now when they're in town. I've still got to catch Isbell sometime too.

Patterson's Baxendale acoustic was ripped off while loading out of the Blue Note the other night. Somebody from Cracker or somebody from Cracker knew somebody who knew the guy who stole it and through the miracle of the internet it was back in his possession before they went on stage in Austin last night. People who steal gear from touring musicians make a good case for bringing back the town square and public stonings.

They don't need to be qualified, but they should be in the discussion of greatest southern rock bands of all time. They have more good albums than the Allmans and Skynyrd combined.

This kind of bumbs me out. The last we'll see of the Jason, Neff, Shonna Truckers.

It's leaked and opens with an instant Cooley classic.

Really really solid band. Saw them last year and they were great live. First started giving them a listen when they did a co-headlining tour with the Hold Steady (my favorite band). Would've been an amazing show.
But I will say, now I mostly just like Cooley's songs. He's a hell of a songwriter. To me, Patterson's songs are fairly inferior. But the combination of Cooley and Jason Isbell, those are two solid solid songwriters.

Saw them last night in Boston, they were really good. However, the opening band Blitzen Trapper was excellent. Never heard them before and really dug it. Definitely worth a listen.

If things break my way I'll be watching these guys live tomorrow night. One of those bands that come along once a year and seem like the greatest thing ever. Imagine a blend of Alabama Shakes, Tom Jones and Otis Redding. The singer is a sweet freak, and the horns are sweeter.

a great cover of A Change is Gonna Come ... dude has some pipes.
Broken Bones and Pocket Change
