Love Patterson Hood. Wish Jason was still in the band..... They were so good when they had three guitarists!

One of the great bands on the planet!!!
As crazy as this may sound, judging from the other responses here, this is the first I've heard of these guys to my knowledge. Listening to them now and I've gotta say, they sound pretty awesome. Thanks for posting!
HAHAHA... now one of my roommates will finally believe me. I think it was "never gonna change" that was on there, great song. I missed their show here in charleston on the 14th... really wish i could have gone. they arent the same though with out jason. bull dozers and dirt, probably my favorite song just cause its funny

Nice. Just realized that an Ex-Girlfriend collected artwork by the painter who does all of DBT's album covers (he lives here in Richmond, and was the singer in a classic Richmond punk/rock act, Mudd Helmut). Probably shouldn't have broken up with that one lol.

Saw them last spring in Boston @ the house of blues.
They put on a GREAT show.
1st time Ive ever seen a lead singer with a lisp.

That is my favorite.
DBT were on one of the late night talk shows on Monday of this week. Maybe Leno.

The "Brothers of the Leaf" by Drive By Truckers - from the album The Dirty South
Well, they caught you smoking grass and the judge threw the book
And I saw a little opportunism in your look
You can take it from me, boy
You can take it from a crook
We got friends on the inside and friends on the outside
They'll sneak up beside you so keep on their good side
I can see you standing there, staring down at your shoes
Thinking about your Mom and Dad and wondering what to do
Well you best look inside yourself, boy, we're all watching you
We got friends in jail who can see you through
Boy, don't forget, no matter what you do
Don't piss off the Brothers of the Leaf
You know they won't let it slide
They might find your body in the Tennessee River
or they might not find it at all
There'll be no place to run and hide
and your family ain't safe at all
So don't piss off the Brothers of the Leaf
We're keeping an eye on you
Keeping an eye on you
Don't piss off the Brothers of the Leaf
Ya better take it like a man
Ain't nobody gonna stick anything up your ass
If you remember who your friends are
We got good help down in Franklin County
They'll hunt you like a dog
You can take your fall or lose it all
The choice is up to you
I wouldn't piss off the Brothers of the Leaf if I was you

The Truckers are diffenitly in my Top 5.
If you like the gritty and often, murderous or criminal subject matter of the DBTs you may also enjoy my favorite songwriter, Chris Knight. Someone is always getting shot or killed in a Chris Knight song. If he was not a songwriter, he would have been a bank robber, I'm sure of it.

I was 18
my brother was 21
one saturday evening
when all the work was done
we went down to the river,
had some trot lines to run
my brother Walter
had a fight the week before
knocked a boy named Wilson
through the pool hall door
they said you don't mess with Wilson
unless you want a war
we put the boat in the water,
i made the engine run
loaded the lantern
against the sinking sun
and my brother Walter
was loading his gun
and we went down the river
down past the coal docks
we wre running our lines
heard some drunken boaters
racing up behind
it was Wilson and his cousin,
they had trouble on their minds
they passed on by us,
probably going to tend their pots
we headed up the river
with the fish we'd caught
but before we made the landing,
i thought i heard a shot
back down the river
my brother Walter fell over the side
i couldn't find him no matter how i tried
and looked along the bank
but i couldn't find where they'd hide
they drug the river,
they searched it up and down
couldn't find his body
so they decided that he'd drowned
but i knew better
and wilson bragged around town
so one night i floated down
right above wilson's shack
i hid in the woods
till i saw him walk out back
i put a bullet in his head
and dropped him in his tracks
and we went down the river
down below the trestle
where the water runs slow
i chained him to an anvil
and then i let him go
and five years later
i ain't told a soul
and i ain't done much fishing,
i hardly wet a line
the death of my brother
is still heavy on my mind
i've been thinking Wilson's cousin
better find a place to hide
cause i'm going down the river
yeah i'm going down the river
