I had read that this recording had existed for a long time but in 2013 ATO Records re-released this early live snippet of The Truckers. Recorded live in Athens and Atlanta Georgia in 1999 with re-mastering by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound NYC in 2013.
This album was recorded in various Georgian clubs during the Pizza Deliverance Tour of 1999 and is nice 'en heavy Southern Rock. " Lookout Mountain" is just fantastic and totally rocks the house....i can almost see them doing it live right now !!! This is one of my fav DBT Songs which would not appear on a studio album until 2004's masterpiece "The Dirty South".
ATO Records & Drive-By Truckers have restored the original 1/2' analogue mixes of the album which have been re-mastered with some beautiful new art work in a lovley 2 LP (180g) vinyl set.
The 1999 lineup was Brad Morgan, Patterson Hood, Mike Cooley and Rob Malone.....
I love the vinyl liner notes on the back ...it says "In order to accomodate the proper running time for vinyl mastering, we had to slightly change the sequence from the CD version. This enabled us to cut the grooves deeper for maximum kickassness.............
This is a fantastic live album and deserves to be blasted nice and loud on "11"..........
I am soooooo glad they re-released this gem !!!!!!
