I've come to the conclusion Cooley is a musical genius. Check out this live version of Carl Perkins Cadillac from a couple days ago:
I've been listening to lots of Truckers lately, especially the Dirty South. The four best songs in their catalogue are on this record(Where the Devil don't Stay, Tornadoes, Carl Perkins Cadillac, God damned Lonely Love).
Full Version: Drive-By Truckers sign to ATO for new album

add in The Day John Henry Died too.
love all those tunes, although danko/manuel is probably my favorite isbell tune on the record (GDLL is a close 2nd), if not my favorite on the record overall.
on another note i heard this fucking job on the radio this morning for my first time. great tune, super catchy chord progression that would have fit well alongside basically anything on nevermind (chords only, not the song itself)

Any time a band starts saying things like "this is going to be our 'fill in the blank' record", I think it raises a big red warning flag. This usually connotes they are more focused on theme than melody and songcraft. This is not good.
Quality of the songs should always take precedent over any perceived or plotted theme. Some would call this a dishonest approach to art. The results are usually mediocre at best. Once you have the best songs you can get, then worry about whether it's your "dirty drunk" record or your "R & B" record.
Radiohead recently announced their next will be their "movement and light" record. I can't wait for the Coldplay comparisons......

You do realize that the Flaming Lips have done exactly what you're talking about for the last 3 albums, right?
