Great then. Still great.

Man, they’ve always been political, but it’s gotten to be too much. But I agree, they are awesome.

 

[C'villeDawg]

Kinda like the Avett Brothers, their latest album is VERY political and probably their worse.

I prefer bands that aren’t political like REM and U2

I know the Avett Brothers have always been political, but I've always liked their music. The latest album is so far over the top, that I can't listen to it.

Exactly, and I like rain that's not wet

SRO, Decoration Day and The Dirty South was the sweet spot IMO. Great songs in most of the other albums, but those three were fire.

Political in what way...... conservative or liberal?

Have you ever heard their music? I really don’t to get too much into the politics thing although I guess it’s my fault for bringing it up.

From Athens so safe to say they are just to the right of Stalin

Let’s just say they aren’t Toby Keith

 

[blake0405]

Avett Brothers? Get outta here with that nonsense. We’re talking rock n roll.

Hahaha

Great then. Still great.

Great then, not even close now.

Truckers have always been political, just more overt now unfortunately.

Some of he best southern rock ever made. Just really excellent stuff.

 

[NWGA_DAWG]

Being the southern media darling went to Patterson and Cooleys heads imo, they used to write great authentic songs without being overtly poltical.

I probably saw them 30 or 40 times from 2001- 2009 and I've seen them since...different band.

Not the same without Isbell.
Shonna Tucker came and spoke at one of our music business classes once in 07. Let's just say she was not in a right state of mind

They were making awesome music before Jason Isbell dude.

I know they were but once he left I feel like they took a turn

SRO was fantastic, the rest before just good. Isbell pushed Hood and Cooley to different levels, he was clearly the most talented natural song writer, he made them compete. Since then, meh. As you said above SRO, Decoration Day (my God), and DS were the high water mark.
