Excellent cover! Mike Cooley is my favorite writer/singer from the Drive By Truckers. Your voice is perfect for this song and you nailed it! You should do "Daddy's Cup", "Ghost to Most" or "Gravity's Gone"

Thank you!!! That's a huge compliment as I am a big Mike Cooley fan as well. Hard to compete with Isbell but I'll be damned if he isn't mine too. He has such a strange way of inflecting his voice that's hard to replicate, felt pretty good to get it figured out. It kinda got me in the mood for more, so it just so happens I'm already working on "Daddy's Cup" - my old man (you'll see him drumming in some of these videos) used to do a little racing himself and taught me all of what little I know about turning wrenches lol, so I've always loved that one too.

@@NebraskaBear That's awesome about your dad! To be fair to Isbell, he's on my top 5 all time favorite songwriters list. But In the context of DBT, most of my favorite songs are Cooley's. His lyrics are witty and down to earth and his voice sounds casual and relatable, but somehow in a very musical way that just works his music and DBT overall vibe. It's great to see someone covering some of his songs as well as you are. Looking forward to seeing more!

@@kyledeady6816 Oh no doubt about it at all, Isbell's very high on my list of songwriters as well (kinda surprised I haven't gotten around to doing one of his tunes yet actually), and I loved his work with the Truckers too. Outfit is the song that introduced me to Isbell and DBT and still high on my favorites list, and Never Gonna Change and Goddamn Lonely Love are as good as it gets for me. But I agree with you, something about Cooley's writing just fits their vibe like a glove. I'd have to give Isbell the edge overall, but when it comes to DBT I'm with you, Cooley's the man. And then you've got Patterson Hood in there... Unbelievable that all three of those guys were in the same band, what a lineup!

@@NebraskaBear Outfit is a great song. I don't sing much (mostly play guitar) but I did learn to play and sing that one. Yeah, Patterson alone could carry DBT with just his songs. The tree of them together were powerhouse!

Nice but you need to put more emphasis and emotion into the antenna on a pole part

Bob's still gotta antenna on a pole, 2 channels come in and 2 more comin' through. He used to watch the news but he don't anymore. Ain't none of it new it's the same as before. He figures all any of it's any good for's keepin' everybody bored till there ain't nobody like Bob anymore.
