Adam's House Cat was the VERY early incarnation of Drive-By Truckers which included current DBT members Patterson Hood, & Mike Cooley. They reunited for this show which was a benefit for Sabina Hartley-Burke and this is probably the only place to hear these songs unless you have one of the original demo tapes from back in '89.This is a nice little acoustic set which features Hood, Cooley, & DBT drummer Brad Morgan. Rumor has it that the as yet unreleased Adam's House Cat album from 1990 may see the light of day this year. We can only hope. Until then if you are like me and crave more DBT this will have to tide you over. There are a couple of killer Patterson songs on here like "Troubled Waters", "Runaway Train", and "6 o'clock Train". Also some equally killer Cooley songs like "Three on the Tree", and a stripped down version of "Women Without Whiskey". But the real prize here is the stories which give a great insight into the beginnings of Drive-By Truckers.

Nice post. Nice info and respectful links.
ReplyDeleteI agree, C&W has gotten a little too mainstream. Won't be long before there are spoken/rap portions added.
Not that C&W can't be contemporary (remember Wynette's weird KLF single, and Johnny Cash covered lots of modern rockers).
Like the Rounder label that helped Alison Krauss and Iris DeMent, people should not be that quick to dismiss the traditional.
thanks for the comments and yes I agree, country music ain't what it used to be.

Don't tax your brain power, hick. You have none to spare.
If you're the spokesperson for country music, they're in real trouble in Nashville. Go home an gouge your eyes out.
