Jahfin Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 From jambands.com: Patterson Hood Murdering Oscar (And Other Love Songs) Drive-By Truckers frontman Patterson Hood will release the solo album Murdering Oscar (And Other Love Songs) this summer. The album will arrive on Ruth St. Records on June 23, shortly before Hood hits the road on a solo tour. As of now, Hood’s only confirmed date is a June 27 stop at Athens, GA’s Athfest with the backing band The Screwtopians: John Neff (pedal steel), Will Johnson (guitar),Scott Danbom (keyboard, fiddle) and David Barbe (bass). The Drive-By Truckers recently played its first official show with Booker T. in Atlanta on April 1 (no joke). The setlist consisted primarily of songs of the keyboardist’s forthcoming great album Potato Hole. The tour will continue at Melbourne AUS’s Prince Bandroom tomorrow.

Swede Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hey Jahfin, how's his first solo album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hey Jahfin, how's his first solo album? I like it pretty good. It's basically just Patterson and an acoustic guitar. By the way, I understand since DBT have left New West they will be issuing a CD of outtakes in the months to come as well as a full length DVD of their recent Austin City Limits appearance.
