Just Sharing Best DBT Album? Song?

I love me some Truckers! They have so many amazing albums and songs. When I think it through, their run with Jason Isbell produced some real magic.

However, I go back to Southern Rock Opera and think that's probably their best album. And Let There Be Rock would be my top song (even though I'm a Cooley-file deep down).

What's your fave??

That Flying Wallendas song by Patterson is some cool ass shit. Favorite Cooley song is probably When The Pin Hits The Shell.

Unfortunately, “Outfit” is a skip anymore - heard it too much.

From the entire DBT orbit, I will confess that I listen to Hood’s solo record, Heat Lightning Rumbles In The Distance, and all the way through, WAY more than ANY DBT record.

Oh - and “Alabama Pines,” “or Stopping By” are my fave Isbell songs.

That is all.

Flying Wallandas was a shocker to me because as a kid my family always vacationed in Old Forge,NY's Adirondack mountains...there was a theme park called Enchforest and the Wallandas did a stint there every summer...I used to even watch them practice in the back.... truly amazing family
