Drive-by Truckers - BRIGHTER THAN CREATION'S DARK on vinyl

Y'ALL:
It's the eve of destruction (self destructive zone) appetite for destruction, kiss destroyer...
Let's just say I'm packing, loaded and ready for a big tour of Rock.

Proud to announce that VINYL is here!
Well mostly, as there's still no word on release date of BRIGHTER THAN CREATION'S DARK's impending vinyl release.

GANGSTABILLY, PIZZA DELIVERANCE, DECORATION DAY, THE DIRTY SOUTH and BLESSING AND A CURSE have all become officially released on vinyl for first time in USA. Certainly a long time in coming milestone for me, as I don't even count them until they're out properly on 180gm. vinyl (most with gate-fold sleeves for proper separation, art work as big as a Montana sky, and that sound, oh that sound).

As you know SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA has been out on vinyl for some time but other than a small run of British vinyl a few years back, this marks the first time for most of our titles.

As for BRIGHTER THAN CREATION'S DARK on vinyl, we're as anxious as anyone and will gladly keep you posted as soon as we know anything at all. In the planning stages of this vinyl release, I was adamant about the vinyl release including a way to download to mp3, free with purchase. I hear I even went so far as to say that if they couldn't do that, not to bother, so in other words, I'm afraid it's MY FAULT!
Sorry, I sure didn't mean to let my concern for providing a great deal for our fine friends who buy from us stand in the way of progress, but hopefully all of this will be worked out very soon and everyone can enjoy our new album the way it was intended to sound.

Look for vinyl BRIGHTER THAN CREATION'S DARK as a two record set with mp3 for the iPod, and beautiful gate fold package sometime SOON.

TOUR BEGINS next Monday in Anaheim CA at The House of Blues on Feb. 11 and LA at The Avalon on Feb. 12.
From there we will venture north and across the fine country and onward through march and beyond.
Stay tuned for more tour dates to be announced soon as well as hopefully a TV appearance.

Lots more to talk about and announce on the near horizon, but I'll save that for then and leave this where it is for now.

See You at the Rock Show,
Patterson
