From The Archives: Drive By Truckers - The Dirt Underneath I O W A (10-18-07)

Trying to clear some requests out. This one I'm listening to now and it's really hitting the spot to tide me over 'til The Big To Do. As stated below The Dirt Underneath tour was in support of Brighter Than Creation's Dark. It features some of those songs, and some older goodies. The best thing about this is the stripped down nature of the songs and the addition of steel guitar and keys to them. Listening to this 2 years later and having become familiar with Brighter Than Creation's Dark I really wish they had played "Perfect Timing", but the version of "Get Your Ass On The Plane", "My Sweet Annette" and a near bluegrass rendition of "Daddy's Cup" on here more than makes up for that little omission.

Killer little DBT boot here from there just wrapped up (I think) Dirt Underneath tour. Now if you don't know, the Dirt Underneath tour was a laid back tour (hence the sit down performances) and featured Soul Session legend Spooner Oldham. There are a few new songs on here worth checking out too, not to mention some seldom heard oldies.....like my favorites "panties in your purse" and "tails facing up". Can't wait for the new album to come out. It's called "Brighter Than Creation's Dark" and it's due to be released January 22nd of '08.
