Drive By Truckers
Old 97's

Nellie McKay
BR549

I'm listening to the new Kasey Chambers online right now and must say…don't buy this pile of turd.

ive been reading about the drive by truckers, what do they sound like in your opinion, and is it that good?

That question is really too hard to answer. Listen to three of their new songs here:

I'd get:

Drive-by Truckers
Black Keys
Twilight Singers
Mark Lanegan
Martina Topley Bird
The National EP

All relatively new - and all will certainly make my year end best of.

BTW - I love this:

& go see them @ the club on Friday 9/24. That's how they really shine.

I often wonder how I would have responded to them had I heard them before I actually caught their live show. On the surface - they are just not my thing. But they are such intelligent and strong songwriters & musicians that you'll be very impressed. Nothing like the image they cultivate.

Hard:
Burning Brides – Leave no Ashes
Icarus Line – Penance Soiree

Blues-y:
Black Keys – Rubber Factory

Punk-y:
Thermals – Fuckin A
Hives – Tyrannosaurus Hives

Art-y Punk-y:
Mission of Burma - On Off On

Other-y:
Mountain Goats – We Shall All Be Healed
Drive-By Truckers – The Dirty South

I would recommend This Euphoria, which is his first major label album. He has a shitload of cds out but you cant really find any of them around here, prolly only in texas cause he is fairly popular there. But download as much of his stuff online as you can….I just recently saw him at a borders doing a solo acoustic gig and his guitar playing/singing is beautiful live.

What else would you recommend?

you mean garza or other stuff too?
Well buy David Garzas new box set, its mostly love songs but great nonetheless. I can also recommend My Hotel Year: the composition of ending and phrasing. They fuckin rock for a so called "emo" band. I am glad to hear these praises about the drive by truckers i gotta go pick up one of their cds asap. You recommend there newer cd or something older?

Buy anything with a Nelly or a Nellie in it…you can't go wrong.

buy me dinner instead

agreed, such a pity as I love her first two albums

Sondre Lerche- Two-Way Monologue
Dandy Warhols- Welcome To the Monkey House
Washington Social Club- Catching Looks
Shins- Chutes Too Narrow
A.C. Newman- The Slow Wonder
PJ Harvey- Uh Huh Her
Army of Me- Fake Ugly

another vote for drive by truckers. prolly one of the strongest indie acts around. i'd recommend decoration day over the dirty south though.
