Drive-By Truckers plan two summer releases

"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.
