2009 – NEW WEST
Produced By TERRY LICKONA
1. Perfect Timing
2. Heathens
3. A Ghost To Most
4. The Righteous Path
5. I’m Sorry Huston
6. 3 Dimes Down
7. Puttin’ People On The Moon
8. Space City
9. The Living Bubba
10. Zip City
11. 18 Wheels Of Love
12. Let There Be Rock
13. Marry Me
Aside from Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley, Drive-By Truckers has always been a fluid band with ever changing personnel. Their longest continuous lineup was the one that played on this, their second live album, Live From Austin, TX. This album does not feature Jason Isbell (who left in 2007), but it does do a magnificent job of capturing what the Truckers are like in a live setting. The package includes a CD and a DVD of the show, which relies heavily on tracks from the band’s most recent at the time studio album, Brighter Than Creation’s Dark. The three guitar interplay between Hood, Cooley and John Neff (who also provides some fine moments on pedal steel) is great, as is the bass playing of Shonna Tucker. Hood shows his fine stage presence and storytelling ability, while Cooley is just that...tall, cool, and a guy who over the years has turned into a hell of a songwriter.
While many of the songs here are newer, the centerpiece of the album is an almost 12 minute version of Hood’s “18 Wheels Of Love” from their debut album, Gangstabilly. Hood also shines on “Puttin’ People On The Moon” and “The Living Bubba”. Cooley’s highlights are the excellent “A Ghost To Most”, “Zip City”, and the acoustic opener “Perfect Timing”. Tucker sings one, the fine and underrated “I’m Sorry Huston”. The energy is all here, along with the songs that make this band such a concert favorite. But you have to get this with the DVD, which makes the CD almost redundant. The Truckers are still at it, even though Tucker and Neff are gone, bringing the band down to two guitars, but they still do not disappoint. This live album stands alongside the rest of their output very well, and should be a must have for fans…and a good introduction for those who haven’t caught on to DBT just yet.

2009-NEW WEST
Produced By DAVID BARBE
1. George Jones Talkin’ Cell Phone Blues
2. Rebels
3. Uncle Frank (Alternate Version)
4. TVA
5. Goode’s Field Road (Alternate Version)
6. The Great Car Dealer War
7. Mama Bake A Pie (Daddy Kill A Chicken)
8. When The Well Runs dry
9. Mrs. Claus’ Kimono
10. Play It All Night Long
12. Like A Rolling Stone
The Fine Print turned out to be not just another collection of leftovers: Drive-By Truckers turned out to have some very nice unreleased gems. The Fine Print is also blessed with fine liner notes by Patterson Hood. The album contains two previously unreleased Jason Isbell tracks (“TVA” and “When The Well Runs Dry”), a pair of very good alternate versions, and some tracks left off of albums recorded between 2003 and 2008.
But the best thing here are the covers. The Truckers chose wisely, and they play them well and with respect. “Rebels” is a fine forgotten Tom Petty song: “Mama Bake A Pie (Daddy Kill A Chicken)” is a perfect take on Tom T. Hall, “Like A Rolling stone” is a Southern version of the Dylan track with each member taking a verse, and especially “Play It All Night Long”…a Warren Zevon classic. The Fine Print isn’t like most leftover albums in that it’s actually very good. Very much worth seeking out. [First added to this chart: 08/11/2012]
