Good People, Good Times

Really, it's hard to beat a DBT show. Whether it's the whole band, parts of the band, or former members of the band, you're going to see a good great show. Case in point, Patterson Hood & The Screwtopians last night at The Independent. It's so clear that Patterson loves being on stage playing music. I've seen so many bands put on a good show, only to follow it up with a disappointing performance. I've seen DBT, Patterson Hood, and Jason Isbell over a dozen times, and every show has been great. Patterson only played two DBT songs last night, which was a little surprising. One being Feb 14, which happens to be the song that introduced me to the Truckers (yep, I was quite late to the party). I loved last nights version, which was, in keeping with the show, very chill. The show had the same feel as listening to his new album does. I could have sat there all night listening, and been quite happy.



Will Johnson, front man of Centro-Matic and South San Gabriel when not a Screwtopian got to play his own song (and I cannot for the life of me, think of the name of it) which just confirmed all the more that I need to see a CM/SSG show. He and Patterson were great together.

The Truckers will be back with Booker T in October for Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, but I might not be able to wait that long.

JPW, we're going on that bike ride!
