Y’all,
Starting to recover from the GA Theater Fall Spectacular. Believe it was the best yet.
Fly Golden Eagle totally killed it on Saturday. That’s some cool shit that I look forward to seeing and hearing some more soon. The Dexateens have long been one of my all time favorites and they’ve only gotten better (and better and better) with the years. They don’t play nearly enough, so make sure you catch them whenever you get the chance. Can’t wait to hear all the new music they’ve been recording. As always, our fans are the best ever and this weekend has to be up there in my all time favorite crowds list.
Alabama Ass Whuppin’ is nearing it’s re-release date and I’ve kinda been taken back by the press it’s already getting. I was pretty stoked when I heard how well it’s aged (especially with the great new mastering Greg Calbi gave it) but it’s nice having it agreed upon from less biased ears.
Got my copy of T. Hardy Morris‘ incredible album on vinyl today. Audition Tapes is guaranteed to be on my year end list. I truly love every song on it and have been spinning the vinyl over and over all day (it’s been stuck in my car for a couple of months already). I don’t get on here and plug other folks records all that often and we’re relatively recent friends, but let me put it this way; I’m not plugging it as a favor to him, I’m doing it as a favor to you. It’s that fucking good. If’ “OK Corral” don’t make your day better, you’re having one shitty day and I really feel sorry for you.
Hope everyone has a great fall. I’m gonna spend some good time with the family, mix and master our new album, a DBT Fall Tour (including some dates with our new friends The Ol’ 97’s and a Halloween show in Chicago), a small handful of solo dates and maybe a surprise or two. You never know.
Long Live Live Rock and Roll,
