"I had time to write," Cooley says. "After we came off the road last time, we decided we were going to let it rest for a while. So I had time to really focus. I kind of had to re-learn how to write, because I didn't write as many songs as I'd wanted on the last couple of records. I was happy with these songs, and thrilled to go in and record so many that I felt real strongly about."
quote:
Hood notes, "I don't think we've ever had a record where Cooley was as deeply involved in every aspect of the making of it as he was this time. With Cooley's writing, there's almost no precedent for it in our catalog. He came in with this stunning bunch of songs, full of this beautiful imagery."

Gonna be a good one...

They playing that the Civic Theater in May. How is that place?

Cooley's song resonate with me much more than Hood's (not that Hood's are bad). They are probably the greatest American rock band that is not a household name.

I've had the album since Christmas. It hasn't grown on me.

I still enjoy the Truckers but the band is not the same since Isbell left. I highly recommend going to see Cooley on a solo act.

Glad to hear this. Haven't really been excited about the Truckers since Isbell left, but this has me looking forward to this album.
I remember reading a quote from Cooley saying he didn't think he was a good song writer, which I thought was so sad. His songs are great, always wished there were more.

I think it has more to do with them closing in on 50 years old than it does Isbell leaving.

Vrighter Than Creation's Dark is my counterpoint to those who say the band has suffered without Isbell. That album is a masterpiece. I like Isbell, but geez... he was only on two and half albums.

that honor goes to Lee Bains and the Glory Fires, who blow the truckers out of the water

We are thrilled to announce the English Oceans Deluxe Edition CD and Black Ice Vérité DVD and LP coming on Tuesday November 18, 2014.
Some of you might remember, we recorded a live performance of our latest album last February at The Fabulous 40 Watt Club. All hell broke loose, weather wise, but The Show Went On and our friend Jason Thrasher caught it all on film. The end result is a film we're really all proud of, running through the new songs in front of a small crowd at one of our favorite rooms on Earth.
The Black Ice Vérité LP (and bonus CD on the Deluxe Edition) is a collection of 8 songs recorded live, three acoustic performances from The Hay Bale Session we recorded the morning of our Bonnaroo performance, and 5 tracks from this year's HeAthens Homecoming Weekend in Athens GA. A few old songs, a few new songs and a few very different versions. Available on Glorious White Vinyl (with DVD of Black Ice Vérité included).
The English Oceans Deluxe Edition CD/DVD includes the album, our most acclaimed work in years, along with the DVD of Black Ice Vérité and a CD of the Black Ice Vérité Bonus Tracks.

English Oceans might be my favorite DBT album from cover to cover.

It was very forgettable for me, I'm gonna turn it on now.
