  Nick W:

  All he said about the Truckers is that "they do the same sort of thing 
we do."

  Me:
  Hmmm.  I beg to differ!  Ok, so the Truckers have multiple guitarists - 
at least two most of the time, the third flits between guitar, pedal steel 
and keys.  But aside from that they are the heavy end of Americana - 
somewhere between Johnny Cash and Lynyrd Skynyrd.  When they rock they 
really rock, but its trad southern rock rather than the Aeros more arty, 
British take on it.  And DBT songs are much less oblique.  Much more 
narrative, much more direct and much more downbeat.  As Patterson Hood 
says in the liner notes to their latest lp, "The Big To-Do", they "tell 
dirty and violent stories about desperate people in troubled 
circumstances".  And he's not joking.

  But I'm a Richard Thompson fan too.  I like albums where the body count 
rises as the tracks go by.

  PS: I forgot to mention Rocker - top tunes, my man!
