Agree, this is DBT in their prime.

I know he is so damn good at lead, but these days he mostly sticks to rhythm and songwriting and he's so damn good at that too.

The "Late Night" Johnny Neff era was the best. The handle of liquor on the stage era.

I live in Athens, 2001-2005 they were amazing

Their prime is now i believe ​@@markashley5074

All great songs

⁰p⁰

Not all heroes wear capes!

2020 ... um, not so fast there, pal. DBT is still great. Cooley and Hood and Easy B kick ass and take names. Love Isbell , but he's over his own awesomeness now, which is a very good thing.

@@klimtklavier Agree 100%. Jason was with the band for 6 years. They did some amazing things together but despite some of the memorable live shows they were not good for each others' health. Jason was literally killing himself with alcohol, etc so they went their separate ways. In the end it was a good move for everyone. Jason is a musical force and the Truckers are still writing and performing excellent music. Anyone who doubts that the DBT's still kick ass check out this live recording from 2015. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o56qmZChztfYmqs.html

I wish isbell and rob Malone could have been in the band at the same time

So was the band!

no shit, wow

full steam fun that day!

How could you not get hammered to this gold?😉

The bass girls name is Shonna tucker she was married to Jason isbell guitarist all the way to the left but they are now divorced

@@andrewblanton5397 The Truckers were on another level from 2000 to 2005, even BEFORE Isbell joined. Isbell wasn’t on Southern Rock Opera, and those are some of their greatest songs. Decoration Day and The Dirty South made it so The Truckers had 3 masterworks in a row. They were up there with the greatest bands of their day. Everything after that is just a bonus. And it was nice to see Jason clean up and continue forward. I always assumed he left to start a solo career, but I found out a couple years back that he was fired. At first, they wanted him to take a break to get clean, but then they fired him. And I’m glad that they’ve stayed friends. Cooley-Hood-Isbell-Tucker-Morgan --- this was their best incarnation.

@@wildmercuryfilms While I respect the gentlemen in the DBT, their sound is not designed for my palate. Wish them all the best!

@@andrewblanton5397 pray for you? Whatever. Saw the band in Isbell era. Saw them last fall. Still fucking awesome.

@@arthurdietrich They were awesome then, only pretty good now.

are you kidding? these guys are much better than the beatles could of ever been!

@@The93ssfd i need what you’re smoking

Matthew Reynolds I was there, Isbell was fucked up, but still jammed as always

Before they got all BLM on me.........kidding......they've always been like that

@@rossconnelly6891 … no.. I don't think so either. That would be stupid. lol

the 400 Unit and Isbell have surpassed the DBT by miles.. I would dig it if they did a small tour together for fun. but the 400 Unit is simply one of the finest bands in the land.

@@GLiC eh, I like 400 unit stuff because Isbell is a good songwriter, but it's easier to listen to a dbt album all the way through and enjoy the whole thing. Vaden sure isn't Cooley either. The 400 unit is just significantly more commercially friendly too.

15 years now!!!!

Musicians

@@timothyturner3396 I just listened again and that's not what he sings. Really don't know the words but sounds like "Doctors, Lawyers, and big losers" maybe

+Ryan McKenzie Jason definitely rounded out the band very well and gave them a sort of epic kind of vibe. I don't care for his solo work much. Those three together had something really nice.

+Drew Nucatola Fact? I mean I love DBT, and loved when Isbell was with them. But have you listened to his albums? Going solo was by far the best decision of his life. Dude is killing it right now.

+Drew Nucatola, not taking anything away from the DBT, but Jason has evolved from a hotshot guitar player (in a cult favorite band) into being universally recognized as one of the finest young singer/songwriters in the world. Have you listened to "Southeastern" and "Something More Than Free"? They are just perfect collections of songs. The kid plays guitar like Derek Trucks, sings really well, and writes "master level" songs, all while defying classification. Not any mean feat, all that.

+toterola451 well said

Somehow, impossibly, he drank too much even for DBT. Alas, I loved them with Isbell, but he's certainly doing great right now. Just saw him in Boston the other night, good show. He ripped up Decoration Day

😂😂 that’s gotta be sarcastic!

Jay Wright nah, nah...it's great. how much luck will you have with three guitars anyway

no luck needed just tune the dang things

short scale guitars tuned down a full step. they're gonna sound out of tune. Patterson hood can't sing.

No sorry I used to be a GTR tech , dont matter if they are tuned down or to an open tuning , they have to be in freakin tune , you can hear the dissonance easily ...

+Jay Wright I misspoke. by sound out of tune I actually meant go out of tune. I covered dbt in an old band. dunno what it was. had ok tuners. American guitars but we went out a lot. just my experience. the strings flopping around. I even would use thicker gauge strings etc. no dice. also. I'm not sure how much guitar tech'ing goes on with dbt. I recently saw a rig rundown with Cooley. kinda got the feeling they did their own stuff.
