Just dropping a few lines real quick before I get in my car….January 22, mark it down. If you are a fan of this here blog then you’ll be a fan of this date. We get the following releases:
Drive-By Truckers – Brighter Than Creation’s Dark
Drag the River – You Can’t Live This Way
North Mississippi Allstars – Hernando
Oh yeah! I’ll be locked up in my living room that week with a couple bottles of whiskey and headphones affixed to my head.

Last month I posted that the new Hank III album, Damn Right Rebel Proud, had recieved a released date of December 18, 2007. I then went on to say:
Now, if past action is any indicator to future action, this date will get pushed back 10 times before the album actually sees a store shelf. But we can hope Mike keeps his head out of his ass and just let’s the album drop.
Well, I guess that ass is a cozy place cause the cd has been pushed back to “sometime in 2008″. Sometime. In other words, no time soon. On the Cussin’ board Hank III himself said, “There is one thing holding the cd back.Its called Legal issues! Nothing else.” Whatever that means. I say this: Fuck Curb Records.

This may have been established elsewhere but this morning was the first time I had seen a hard date mentioned for DBTs new cd; Brighter The Creations Dark. I quote from Patterson’s latest message to the fans:
Lots of folks have been asking us about our plans for New Years Eve.
We have a long tradition of playing with our dear friends Centro-matic for NYE.
That is all still being worked out, but there is a hitch:
The new album hits the streets on january 22 (21 if you’re in Europe).
With a new album hitting so close to the holidays, there is a big concern about playing a town right before.
All of that is still being worked out by the powers that be (fingers crossed) but it is out of our hands. Soon as we know something we’ll pass it along to you.
So there you go. New DBT in January…judging from the bootlegs coming out of the Dirt Underneath shows it’ll be their best effort since Decoration Day. Here are my favorite two tracks they’ve been playing.
Drive-By Truckers – Ghost to Most
Drive-By Truckers – Daddy Needs A Drink
This site’s namesake: Drive-By Truckers – Nine Bullets
JUNE 30, 2008 EDIT: Check out my post here.

According to Curb, Hank III‘s new album, Damn Right Rebel Proud, will be released on December 18. Now, if past action is any indicator to future action, this date will get pushed back 10 times before the album actually sees a store shelf. But we can hope Mike keeps his head out of his ass and just let’s the album drop. Here is the tracklisting:
