I'm listening to the new Kasey Chambers online right now and must say...don't buy this pile of turd.

ive been reading about the drive by truckers, what do they sound like in your opinion, and is it that good?

That question is really too hard to answer. Listen to three of their new songs here:

I'd get:
 
 Drive-by Truckers
 Black Keys
 Twilight Singers
 Mark Lanegan
 Martina Topley Bird
 The National EP
 
 All relatively new - and all will certainly make my year end best of.
 
 BTW - I love this:

& go see them @ the club on Friday 9/24. That's how they really shine.
 
 I often wonder how I would have responded to them had I heard them before I actually caught their live show. On the surface - they are just not my thing. But they are such intelligent and strong songwriters & musicians that you'll be very impressed. Nothing like the image they cultivate.

 I would recommend This Euphoria, which is his first major label album. He has a shitload of cds out but you cant really find any of them around here, prolly only in texas cause he is fairly popular there. But download as much of his stuff online as you can....I just recently saw him at a borders doing a solo acoustic gig and his guitar playing/singing is beautiful live.

 you mean garza or other stuff too?
 Well buy David Garzas new box set, its mostly love songs but great nonetheless. I can also recommend My Hotel Year: the composition of ending and phrasing. They fuckin rock for a so called "emo" band. I am glad to hear these praises about the drive by truckers i gotta go pick up one of their cds asap. You recommend there newer cd or something older?

Buy anything with a Nelly or a Nellie in it...you can't go wrong.
