Do your homework on the Truckers. You will not be disappointed.

Radio 📻 Transistor in my day! ✌🏻

TG FOR DBT!!!!

Me too. They are THE BEST.

Right on!

Don’t compare this to Springsteen. And this ain’t country, this is southern rock.

I already did. "The dye's been cast."

I can’t imagine hearing this on anything other than American Band. I guarantee this album will be almost indistinguishable from the last one.

This sounds like it fits more on English Oceans to me

@@Puncheons84 I agree, but I could also hear it on any of their albums. It does have a very shit shots count sound though

I'm stoked to hear a song called rosemary, the Bible and a gun, which according to track lists is the lead off track on the new album, just by the title alone I think it is gonna be epic

@@brandonb2623 would that be a bad thing though? American band was one of my favorite albums

Joe David Pechacek chill

They just pushed back their 2020 Minneapolis show (till sept.) due to the armageddon being back in town.

I feel ya its like they become political

I guess you didn’t listen to their last album...😂

uncle chaos I’ve got all their albums and they are an exceptional band American Band is damn fine

paul elliott Lol, wish I had that low of standards.

uncle chaos Taste is a personal thing and ignorance of standards is rife DBT are a great band

@@unclechaos27 if you are referring to the politics then you haven't heard any of their previous albums, they have always been political, you missed the point

Yes as in the dice has been rolled.

Lol, get real, they are way past their prime, don’t kid yourself.

I guess if you just completely pretend as though the singer's voice isn't utterly awful (you know....like it clearly is....in reality....) then yeah, okay...I see what you're saying! Right on.

PED/Donk EXPERT ...lol yeah it seemed to work back in the day but it’s just bad now.

I’ll take bourbon over a white wine spritzer any day.

Steve you sure are a very positive person !

......I'm Scottish and loved them for years.......

Lee Ritchie But are you from the Southern part of Scotland?😂

....always had a thing for the south since I was a kid......it was seeing my name on the roof of that dodge charger.....🚘😉

Russian bots....lmao Russian bots have no idea these asshats exist.

Jay' Jay Spoken like a true Russian bot. Go tell the rest of your potato vodka swilling comrades that the Dance Band of the Resistance are back and kickin’ ass.

@@srsucioguapodelsur8845 lmao again... a bunch of drunken old guys trying to pass themselves off as men. what a joke.

Jay' Jay ...a bunch of old guys still making a living off of their music. Where’s your album and 30+ year music career, ruskie?

@@srsucioguapodelsur8845 do you really think it hard to see the band has failed so in turn they brainstormed up the idea of taking it political in an attempt to get some recognition. such a used up idea. such a sorry bunch, i'd knock the f*ck outta each and everyone of them with half my brain tied behind my back.

@ThoughtCrime the world hardly needs more commie rock.

Being that thought crime is an Orwellian and anti-communist trope, I'm not even sure you aren't a troll at this point. And no it doesn't. The bigger the government the smaller the individual and I don't need a washed up hack like Patterson Hood to tell me how to think.

Coming from a classical liberal standpoint the democratic party has slid way further left than I feel comfortable with. That Overton window is a bitch, isn't it? DBT used to be smart and selective about their politics, now they are pushy and cringey. Luckily they lost me as a fan decades ago.

What it Means was a great song.

In the days of tRump we all have drifted far from shore. Time to take our country back. DBT gets it, do you?

@@1vtbear Hmmm..... I own everything they've done. I even own an autographed copy of Hood's "Heat Lightning...". (I, also, own everything Jason's done.) I've seen em 5x and PH, solo, once. I've been a fan for almost 20 years. For a long time I thought they were the greatest band in America, perhaps the world. I use to make DBT cds for friends in an effort to get em to go to their shows w/ me. When I'd go to their homes unexpectedly, sometimes they'd be jamming to them. I got several of my friends to buy tickets and go to the shows this way. Now, none of them any longer listen to them. There's no way they'll go to their shows anymore. However, it doesn't matter. They no longer play here in the Cincinnati area. I'm sure it's because they can't sell enough tickets anymore. It's a shame because those old shows were epic! My friends and I must not be the only ones feeling like they are watered down soup now. Enjoy your Pat and Mike guitar pull. I will always play classic DBT and I'm sure I'll like a couple songs from the new release. However, their reign, in my eyes, as a great band is over. I'll buy it and might even drive the 100 miles to see them. I might have to go by myself, tho.

@@freetickeys I thought their last album was pretty ho-hum and "The perilous night" was just bad, but I do like this single. I hope the rest of the album is as solid. I've seen them 4 or 5 times and while I don't think we'll ever get another Dirty South something as strong as The Big To-Do would still be a win.

freetickeys well said, I was the same way. Now I have zero interest I. Seeing them live or buying their merchandise. At least we still have Jason Isbell, he is still on the top of his game.

@@unclechaos27 A lot of us thought the loss of Isbell, especially, and to a lesser extent, Neff, would destroy the band. We were right. I wish we'd have been wrong as dating your sister. It sucks to say, "I told you so!"

Dale Press i personally like it a lot

Then leave, Why listen?

Patrick Barry why listen? Maybe because I’m interested in hearing new music from a band I once loved. Maybe there is a part of me that hoped to hear them release new music that made me want to go rock out to them live again. Maybe I’m not a millennial hipster who jumped on the band wagon when they heard American Band and I actually have the ability to be objective and recognize when a band has nothing left to say and they become puppets of the liberal media. Maybe it’s my fucking choice to listen and leave my 2 cents. Good enough for you?

DBT have always been liberal. One only needs to listen to their lyrics to grasp this. In the Isbell era, and before.

Chad Beermann yes that is common knowledge to anybody who knows anything about truckers. But never in their history have they so blatantly expressed their opinion on current events in their lyrics like on American band. That doesn’t make for good music, that’s what you resort to when your creative juices start running dry. There is no other album in their catalog that comes close to the regurgitated liberal talking points found on American band. SRO spoke of racism in the past, also incorporated the spirit of being young and rocking out. DS spoke of the hard ships people were experiencing while the government blows money on rocket ships, yet during the Reagan administration. Never have they come out to support BS movements like BLM. They went full retard.

@@chadbeermann2744 pay no attention to uncle chaos, he's a dipshit, yeah never before have they done that I want to hear the same shit over and over, let's go listen to the album were george Wallace burns in hell, and four little black girls get blown up for no goddamn good reason, and pretend the truckers weren't always this political, if you don't like it don't listen, by that last post uncle chaos proved who the idiot actually is, don't like it, you don't have to buy or listen, you certainly don't have to post your dumbass comments

There is nothing corporate rock about this. Get off your high horse.

@@aems24 Deep State rock then.

Oh no, they will be devastated to lose you.

@@erichart2093 Get real dude, they be devastated to lose 10,000 of folk just like him, Not that there are 10,000, The only reason i'm here is because i was on a forum page the heading of the thread was: Sorriest concert you ever saw.... This band is listed right at the top so i thought i'd take a look to see just how bad, this was the comment: It was chock full of monumental suck-age. All of them were swinging their own individual bottles of liquor onstage, but it didn’t seem to help. The show was so atrocious we left shortly after they took the stage. I found their performance to be much more offensive than the Black Lives Matter poster they were sporting on stage. On a happy note the opening act, Heath Green and the Makeshifters, were fantastic!...So in saying that many many more are walking away... eat that f*ckface!!

If you really were “following them since the beginning”, then you weren’t paying any attention to the message in the lyrics whatsoever, amigo.

Alright. Don't buy it then.

I would mostly agree. I have not enjoyed the direction they are moving in. The songs aren't horrible, but they certainly are not as interesting as their past work. That being said, it's understandable that Patterson and Mike aren't going to continue to write the same type of song after all these years. Artists need to evolve. Unfortunately they aren't evolving in a way I enjoy. I'll still go see them live, and I'll probably still buy this because I still want to support a band that I've loved for 15+ years, but I'm not expecting to like it as much as something like The Dirty South.

¡Mike B! Agreed. You said it more eloquently than I did. I think the strength of this band has always been third-person narrative-based songwriting with strong lyrics. These lyrics are so bad to almost be called vapid. It is even reflected in the way this ‘lyric video’ seems to have been slapped together. What the hell is this?? This would be a B- middle school power point project.

I really liked American band after I watched a video where they track by track to explain the songs. And their live show supporting the record has been my favorite so far, butthis song definitely didn't strike me as anything special. The lyrics definitely are over my head and the music I feel is mediocre by their standards. Kind of reminds me of what Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam said about writing music over the years, you quit trying to impress anyone and just write stuff that is easy to play live.
