DBT's "Alabama Ass Whuppin'" gets reissued
DBT's third album was first out in 2000, but has been out of print for years. The album has been re-mastered and includes updated artwork by Wes Freed. This will also be the first time the album has been available on vinyl.
"Alabama Ass Whuppin'" was recorded from March 1999 through August 2000 in clubs across the southeast including Tasty Word, The High Hat, The Star Bar, The Caledonia Lounge and the 40 Watt.

It's a documentation of a period in time that I wouldn't go back to for all the money in the world, but I'm proud of the shows that we played and the songs that we wrote, " said lead singer Patterson Hood.
