Drive-By Truckers @ Cannery Ballroom 8-6-09

First of all, I'll have to say that I enjoyed DBT much more this time than the first time I saw them. The first time I saw them was @ The Tennessee Theater in 2006 & I'm not sure if I didn't dig them because I was on the very front row & that shit was LOUD (& I love loud music)....or if it was because I didn't know any songs @ all. Either way, it had to do with not being able to hear the lyrics. I enjoy going to see bands live that I've never heard a whole album of before, but their first live show didn't win me over. Since that show, I have become a big fan of Isbell's solo work & listened to more of DBT's songs.

I'd have to say my favorite songs would have to be Carl Perkins Cadillac & 3 Dimes Down...& I just happened to get some video of both of these songs.

In short, I came away from this show with a new appreciation for DBT & will more than likely attend again.

Since I don't know too much about the ol' DBTs, I asked Skinny Cheese to add a lil' & he said, "4 times seeing the Truckers...first time hearing Carl Perkins' Cadillac live...well worth it!".
