These guys are to rock 'n' roll what film noir is to Hollywood: dark, smart and powerful. Skilled execution coupled with tough, lived-in lyrics that come right out of life & smack you in the face. Utterly unique in the music world today, far as I can see.
Wow you really nailed It Jeremiah.This song is powerful.GREAT lyrics,powerful guitars,great vocals, and such a cool,hard song.The story of the song just , kinda has my whole attention.You I write and play good songs, but damn what a cool, hard rocking song this is.It jumps out at ya’.🎸☠️☠️🎸
Jeremiah...Not certain if you read these comments. I strolled through your profile and noticed much of your videos posted are related to writing. You look young in your picture but you could be as old as dirt (like me) . Here's hoping your pursuit is a writing career or perhaps you've "arrived".. The post you wrote is phenomenal. My dad was a journalist and mom was an English teacher. The result was I learned a thing or two. If your chosen path is to be a writer, or you've arrived, it's no surprise to me you're exactly where you should be. Much luck to you and praise too. I'm not some old lady stalker 😆... when I say I'll Google your name and see what comes up. Keep writing. You've found your niche.
I used to be a cop. Really. Dont know how I stumbled onto this song. Had to turn it off and on again, before settling in to the guitar sound. Now I'm just the crazy maintenance dude......with memories. But drive by truckers, hank III, honkeytonk hustlas and hellhound glory are the glue that keeps it all together.
@@longrifle. yeah..... but that's long gone for me. Now I do my duty for the VA. Keep pushin! It's not the violence in a man, it's how far hes wiling to go.
It's refreshing to hear three guitar players work so effectively together FOR THE SAKE OF THE SONG...and not be fighting for a spot. Very reminiscent of the greater guitar triumvirate days (Welch/ Kirwan/ Spencer - Green/Kirwan/Spencer) of the original Fleetwood Mac. This kind of interplay requires stellar musicianship.
if I may add also members of a band that influenced these guys Allen Collins,Gary Rossington,Ed king,& Steve Ganies of Lynyrd Skynyrd the original band with 3 guitarist
Too good for Rock Hall: Look at those left out: The Smiths Kate Bush PJ Harvey The Smiths made 4 of the best albums in history, and did it in 5 years. The Smiths; Meat Is Murder; The Queen Is Dead; Louder Than Bombs (which was a compilation album of non-album singles that they released while still together). To top it off, they finished by making Strange Ways Here We Come, which was a completely different sound than all the others, and equally as good. There probably has never been a band who did so much in so brief of time. They should have been 1st-Ballot Hall of Famers in 2008, but still aren’t there. It’s hard to wrap your head around why Kate Bush isn’t there. She is a True Artist, musically, and is a Great Dancer to boot. She definitely influenced Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Sarah Machlachlin, Alannis and probably Madonna. Kate Bush is about as close the world has to a Pure Artist. Polly Jean Harvey isn’t just one of the premier songwriters of her time, she’s also a great Lead Guitarist. She’s as talented as they come. That these 3 “Shoe-Ins” aren’t included makes the Hall a sham to me.
@@lakshkhanna09 You took the words straight out of my brain! I just discovered them at age 66. Hope I'm still around at age 79. If not...I've a whole catalog to play for eternity DBT will be in there. I've some catching up to do !!!
I sent this song to my brother retired cop who was also an attorney. now a defense attorney whose specialty is defending cops on trouble. He said this song describes 1/2 his clients. PS: he's mow a DBT fan!
Will never forget the day I first heard this album... Literally pulled over to the side of the road and cried with joy. That has only happened once before... The first time I heard Melissa Etheridge on the radio.
Same here. I JUST discovered this band. Cried for all the years missed not listening. Pulled over one other time when a song floored us driving to St. George Island, Florida for a week long reunion with 5 girls I'd grown up with and we were scattered away from our hometown and just beginning to grow our "adult":lives. All single and no kids yet. Now we are all retired and headed there this September for a week if debauchery...if we're not in bed by ten 🤣. But our life long leader Sharon will rally us by shaming us. Can't wait. Sultans of Swing came on the FM radio. When over we all grew quiet to hear the DJ say...that's Dire Straits playing Sultans of Swing. We hit a record store in Dothan. It was so long ago we had to find em in a phone book's Yellow Pages to buy the cassette tape. We were that determined.
I think it provides a deeper nuance that lesser songwriters can’t even approach: He probably knows some cops, and knows that many played football: You have to be physically big and strong to be a cop because you’re physically fighting people sometimes. He knows that many of these dudes used to play football.
It's almost exultant when he sings that line, like for a moment the guy is back there in past when he used to be young, playing football, with a future etc
Somewhere....guys like Springsteen, Earle, Dylan, and Van Zandt are saying "damn...I wish I would have written that song". This song is as good as anything they have ever written...and they are on Mt Rushmore.
People are shocked when they hear some true wit from a group from Alabama. Drive By Trckers rock. Check out thoughts and prayers if you've never heard it.
There's plenty of chat about these guys being under appreciated. The flip side, at least for me, is that there are always plenty of fans at the gigs in Scotland that would love to dilute the 20 year appearances. And yes, I get it, tours cost an arm and a leg. There must be a way to share the cost, especially with so many great Rock bands coming out of the States, there must be a way. Is there a way ?
I just discovered this band. Yours is the most recent post I've found and some posts are from YEARS ago. Shows they've got some staying power. First song I heard was Thoughts and Prayers which is almost recent. So...I'm heading down this rabbit hole. Something tells me it won't disappoint. Just retired and learning new things. We're never too old to learn new stuff. If we don't seek em....how boring. I've no rocker on my porch. They're all on TH-cam.
I Can't wait to get my hands on GO GO Boots. If all the tracks as as sweet as this one its gonna be great. And TheGhostToMost, ilike your name haha. Rock on!
@harpontherack laying awake the other night i had 893 on and had this stuck in my head and it came on by guess is that they're broadcasting straight to and from my brain
Wow. I love it. Look, the only lull for me was during the "Brighter than.." days. And maybe I need to revisit that one, really. I guess I missed Jason so much after he left - and that was some of it. The feel was very different But then came the MIGHTY "The Big To-Do" and the DBT's were back bigger and better than ever. Ferocious in fact. That album easily ranks up with their best work. And tour also! And I am looking forward to the new release after hearing this first track for sure!
@acedbt You will be disappointed. Go-Go Boots is primarily a Hood album, although Pulaski, Tenn (a Cooley song) is not only the best song Cooley's written, it's the best he's ever sung. Great, great song. I was always a fan of Cooley and Jason, but Brighter Than Creation's Dark and now Go-Go Boots have made me a Hood convert. Amazing stuff.
My life story. 27 years on the Sheriff's Dept., till they kicked me to the curb like a used-up piece of toilet paper.
The single biggest problem with DBT is that they are so terribly under-appreciated
Long live DBT!
song is based on the true story of Mr Lahey. cheers to the liquor and bo bandy
lahey is the liquor
RIP Lahey, the liquor will continue to build your stone wall, and build your legacy!
@@jamesnewton3363 big up John rip legend man
It's just the fuckin way she goes boys
Shhhhhh.. the liquor is talking...
The DBT has had three of the greatest songwriters ever to walk the earth.
I love dbt but thats a stretch my man.
Now they have two.
@@PER5Y Not sure what you are talking about, but advice to you...............................get over yourself.

Your metaphor was spot on.
Thanks!!!!

That’s what I do.. along with listening to DBT
Cops= Capital’s private army.
You sound like a drive-by Poet ❤
IN NYC EARLY IN THEIR CAREER WE DISCOVERED THESEGUYS PLAYING AT A SEED YBASEMENT DIVE BAR AND IT WAS THE STUFF OF DREAMS AND LEGEND INDEED

Yes and not to mention Lynyrd Skynyrds three guitar attack.
PTSD anthem. Nothing wrong with asking for help.
I flew in from Oslo, Norway to see them live at the Shepherds Bush Empire in London last Thursday night. They rock!
Truly majestic rock'n'roll - if this song doesn't touch you...you're dead inside.
Rock Hall of Fame. In my lifetime hopefully. I will be there if they let me.
Too good for Rock Hall: Look at those left out:
The Smiths
Kate Bush
PJ Harvey

You are 24 now and I am sure you still love it!
@@lakshkhanna09 You took the words straight out of my brain!

Hope I'm still around at age 79.
If not...I've a whole catalog to play for eternity
DBT will be in there.
I've some catching up to do !!!
I wish “The Old Grey Whistle Test” was still running, so these people could play, and Bob Harris could say “amazing”. The one word pinnacle of praise.
I sent this song to my brother retired cop who was also an attorney. now a defense attorney whose specialty is defending cops on trouble. He said this song describes 1/2 his clients.
PS: he's mow a DBT fan!
The guitar opening slowly seduces you into the song. I’ve played it everyday for a week.
Will never forget the day I first heard this album... Literally pulled over to the side of the road and cried with joy. That has only happened once before... The first time I heard Melissa Etheridge on the radio.
I pulled over to the side of the road today so I could write it down when I heard it on Sirius in my truck. Why haven't I heard of them before?!
Whoa. Glad you REALLY liked it.

Not the last time I was there. Getting pretty deep, for a band that never had much/any success. Saw them in Denver, years ago. They were OK.
@@toddgittins5692 McDonald’s has had a lot of success but that doesn’t mean they’re a good restaurant.
@@steveb796 Bringing McDonald's into a conversation, that IS deep. Thanks, I really needed a laugh today.
@@toddgittins5692 okay. Let me ask you this. Are the Backstreet Boys a better band than DBT? They are more well known and have had more success.
Fucking amazing!! Just love the bass on this track.
It may just be me, but I think the past 2 albums have featured some of best songs Hood has ever written. This is by far one of my favorites.
Wow! I just discovered these guys thanks to Outlaw Country on Sirius! Excellent!
You're a little late to the table. They came, they went, they're gone. Try some Butch Hancock.
Under what rock have I been under, these guys are GREAT!
Such a fucking great song. More I hear it, the more I love Patterson.
People are shocked when they hear some true wit from a group from Alabama. Drive By Trckers rock. Check out thoughts and prayers if you've never heard it.
Dude this could have been on Springsteens "Nebraska"...and that is the highest of compliments I can give.
My favorite Springsteen record.
It reminds me a lot of Dylan.
Loooooove this song. Pretty raw and direct and reallistic. Love this band. Greetings from México.
This is my new favorite song.
Strong writing by Patterson. Reminds me of a Raymond Carver short story. Love this song.
We still dream about how it used to be.
Great song! Can't wait to see them in February. favorite line- "and I used to play football, but wasn't big enough for college"
I used to play football, but I wasn't big enough for college.......Could be the best quote of all time!
First used by Steve Earle, more or less.
I really like the fortune teller painted on the wall. Reminds me of a freak show attraction advertisment.
Aw, "i wake up my holster and i wake up all alone" tru
This is my favourite song, first time it struck a massive cord with me. Thanks DBT
Great, Great, Great song by a woderfull band. Love it soooooooo much. Greetings from México!!!!!
Dark, moody, addictive.
Hows it goin 9 years on man ?
New sub and a trucker for 24 yrs.
I'll see y'all tonight!
I love it ! You guys never disappoint.
led to drive by truckers by NPR. late at night on a dark road cruising slow, watching out for deer.
Brilliant. Love you guys! Miss Miss Shona
Love from Tallahassee
The best American band playing today. Period.
There's plenty of chat about these guys being under appreciated. The flip side, at least for me, is that there are always plenty of fans at the gigs in Scotland that would love to dilute the 20 year appearances. And yes, I get it, tours cost an arm and a leg.

Great little song. Patterson always comes through

@@juliecrane9647 Happy surfing! I saw them live a few months ago good show, but they didn't play this song.
This is hard and this is rock. You don't need an stack of Marshalls to do so.
Simply brilliant. One of the greatest lyricists of our time. He has produced nothing of this quality since then, but you can live in hope.
Try 'What It Means' - brilliant powerful reflective
this speaks to me
I haven’t been listening to music much lately but I can’t get enough of this s###
Musical therapy
so heavy and talented. I just bought "american band" and love it!
I can speak from experience that it certainly is
music has never felt so good
The mother truckers are da bomb!
Bob's girl loves this song
I Can't wait to get my hands on GO GO Boots. If all the tracks as as sweet as this one its gonna be great. And TheGhostToMost, ilike your name haha. Rock on!
What a great intro
Tune down a whole step, kids. That's the secret Trucker's sauce!
Ima D.B.T. apostle now....this is one of the best tunes i have heard in years and years....fuckin awesome
Man...these guys are so awesome. This is a must see.
Great song.
Right on right on right on
love the use of the delay on the guitars... not overbearing, but it adds the right ambience.....
I call it Rock 'n' Roll
The daniel woodrells of rock and roll
@harpontherack laying awake the other night i had 893 on and had this stuck in my head and it came on by guess is that they're broadcasting straight to and from my brain
guitars flow a groovy ass ride .. digging it🎵🎵💪
Great song. Saw them perform it live at The Shepherds Bush Empire, London on Thursday 05 May. Awesome!
heard this on the way home.looked up first thing when i got home, these guy's r amazing!!!!!!
This song,fucking hell.....,this is good (extra hurrays for the drummer playing just........great)
absolutely love this song and can never have enough guitars...I will get the CD
one of my all time favorite songs PERIOD
I find this version to be much better than the album version. Much more soul and consistent timing. Rock on, guys. Sad I missed the show in Richmond.
wish we got to hear more of them in the UK....been to every gig we could though where we could get there liked Koko and Brighton ones best though
@Camaroguy707 Exactly! Thats actually exactly how I first heard this song - long thanksgiving night drive up north.
Is there more music like this? Can someone point me in the right direction?
damn that good
Very unique song,great guitar parts,love the bassline!
(bassist) karl bryant
Bass line thanks to Shonna Tucker who kicks it, and looks good while doing it. : ) Whoa!
I love them!!!
@harpontherack i agree my favorite station of all time
my favourite song off of the latest album!!! awesome stuff!!!!
Going to see them on June 16th, 1st time I am pretty excited!
Wow. I love it. Look, the only lull for me was during the "Brighter than.." days. And maybe I need to revisit that one, really. I guess I missed Jason so much after he left - and that was some of it.

@TheGhostToMost Haha we like these guys too much!! I was sitting here thinking I wonder if youve seen this and I look down and you had commented lol
EZB setting the fucking tone boys.
Yup
fooking ace!
Great song! Cant wait to see them at the end of June in Baltimore!
keep up the good work come to st louis
I have just one complaint about this video: not enough love given to Shonna playing that sweet bass line.
@elpflasa you should also check out Tom Waits in case he's not on your radar. Masterful story telling
Genial!
Awesome. These guys bring it with every record they put out!
Dang. Good shit. 🤣❤
@harpontherack One of the best in the country, public or otherwise. There's nothing humble about my opinion on that. ;-)
I am a cop...I can relate
Roger that
No too much I hope!
Only 2 things make ex cops
1. Dirty politics
2. Self destruction.
Hold the line bro
