Thank You Mr. Dylan

So I heard he recorded a Holliday Album? Seriously? I don't even want to comment on that. I will say, this is most likely my favorite Dylan tune. Everytime I hear this it reminds me of that classic stoner movie Dazed and Confused. High School was pretty much like that for me. Riding in cool muscle cars and getting blazed out of your skull. I really dig the violin in this, plus seeing him do it live is a bonus!

Tripping on a Wednesday

If there is such a thing as the Minneapolis sound I think Husker Du captured it pretty well. Such driving force, a sonic assult on your senses that leaves you dizzy.
I was never all that in to Husker Du when they were playing here in Minneapolis in the 80's, but this version is amazing. I also love the Byrds, especially Sweetheart of the Rodeo. Gram Parsons has such a great voice for country music. His work with the Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers and the Fallen Angels is legendary. I am a little out of my head today making that leap from Bob Mould to Roger McGuinn and Gram Parsons. The next logical step would be Tom Petty, who I think has become the essential American singer songwriter. I feel like playing that whole Kevin Bacon game now. Screw that, let get the music rolling.

Someone Yelled Freebird

WTF! So I'm wearing a Skynyrd t-shirt. You really want us to play Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama? Don't get me wrong I love the boys as much as anyone, but how bout I play Junkie or On the Hunt? So from this day forth, I will never wear a Skynyrd shirt playing in a bar again, I will always play a Trucker's Song before playing Freebird or Sweet Home Alabama. Oh and another thing, what's the deal with drunk girls wanting to hear Poison? Does it look like I listen to Poison?
OK rant over. Now if you come see our band, and you are drunk enough to yell Freebird This is what you'll get! God Bless the Drive By Trucker's!!!





And Just because I love this song..
