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.

(EDIT: The album got pushed back….of course. See my post about it here)

There you go…earlier today I mentioned that after reading a collection of descent reviews for the new Snoop I was gonna check it out…..I have noticed a law for rap albums….The quality of a rap album is inversely proportionate to the amount of guest rappers present on a disc…The new Snoop cd features guest rappers on 11 of the 19 tracks…fuck…Tupac even makes an appearance…I did not even make it to track 10 before I deleted the files…
