[Postcard2] RIP Barry Beckett/DBT

[Jerald Corder]

that's sad, wonder what he died of,
he played on and produced a lot of great records, that list just
mentions a lot of the hits.   also noticed this on the CST site:

Drive-By Truckers plan two summer releases
Tuesday, June 9, 2009 {#8211} The Drive-By Truckers will release a
live CD/DVD in July and an album of "oddities and rarities" in
September.
"Live From Austin, TX" will be out on CD and DVD July 7. "The Fine
Print (A Collection Of Oddities and Rarities 2003-2008)," will be out
Sept. 1 on CD, Double Vinyl and as a digital download. These are slated
to be the final releases for the band on the New West Records label
because DBT is leaving the label. No announcement has been made about a
new home for the band.


DBT recently dug into the New West vaults, with help from
longtime producer Dave Barbe, and put finishing touches on a selection
of songs that were never quite completed. "For me, it's been a fun
stroll through memory lane and a chance to tie up some loose ends" said
lead singer Patterson Hood. "The Fine Print..." will be a 12-track
album of previously unreleased and rare songs, written by band members
past and present, including Patterson Hood, Mike Cooley and Jason
Isbell.


A total of 7 of the 12 songs come from "The Dirty South" CD
era. "That was an especially fertile period for the band, as we more or
less wrote that album and the one before it, 'Decoration Day,' as well
as my first solo album all in a three-year period as we were recording
and touring behind 'Southern Rock Opera'," said Hood. The record also
contains four covers including Rebels by Tom Petty, which the
band recorded originally for the TV show King Of The Hill and Like
A Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan, which provided Shonna Tucker with her
first ever lead vocal performance on a DBT recording. 

The Austin City Limits show is from Sept. 26, 2008 while touring
for their last studio album "Brighter Than Creation's Dark." The band
line-up featured Hood, Cooley, Tucker, John Neff, Brad Morgan and Jay
Gonzalez.


"The Fine Print" track list is:


1. George Jones Talkin' Cell Phone Blues


2. Rebels


3. Uncle Frank (alternate version)


4. TVA


5. Goode's Field Road (alternate version)


6. The Great Car Dealer War


7. Mama Bake A Pie (Daddy Kill A Chicken)


8. When The Well Runs Dry
