It’s how to open an album if you actually have a pair.

lol I've reviewed 3 DBT albums on here, I forgot about that. I love this band. I will say that 75% of their best songs are Mike Cooley tunes. The other 25 would be Hood and Isbell, who should have been able to contribute more considering how fucking awesome his solo stuff is.

Great list, I think mine would be pretty different but that’s the beauty in this band. Agreed that Cooley is king as far as DBTs material goes but I like Isbell more overall and Hood is also an amazing songwriter.

Carl Perkins Cadillac is the best DBT song and one of the best rock songs ever written.



Second best is The Opening Act. Totally underrated.

An underrated favorite of mine is “Lisa’s Birthday”, the most straightahead country song they’ve written but it’s a classic.

I dont think I've listened to that song in 10 years Boney.



I just love Cooley's wit. Like "I guess I'll never grow a sideburn, its a shame with all I got to go between," "savin everybody takes a man on a mission with a swagger that can set the world at ease," and "skeleton's aint got nowhere to stick their money nobody makes britches that size" all of which are from the same song (Ghost to Most).

Where the Devil Don't Stay is what I call a "Tarantino" song. You know, you're driving in the desert and you stop for a whisky at some roadside diner and all of this scintillating dialogue is going on, and you stroll through the front door like the cock of the earthly walk and say something badass before you kill everybody, take a shot of tequila, and leave.

This album loses me a bit in the third quarter (tracks 8-11) but everything else is some of their very best.
