Re: **Official Drive-By Truckers Thread**
Anyone catch the guys on Jimmy Fallon last night? Band sounded great, Patterson seemed a tad hoarse though.
Also, 'The Secret to a Happy Ending' (the Barr Weisman doc about DBT) was released on DVD yesterday. I grabbed it at Best Buy for $14.99. I watched it last night and it's simply excellent. So much insight into the band and their roots, their triumphs and struggles, without turning it into tabloid fodder type stuff. Jason Isbell is featured heavily in the movie, and it covers basically from the time he joined until the months after he left. It touches on his and Shonna's relationship and divorce, but doesn't get into too much detail, but in one interview scene shot after he left the band, he Jason refers to it as the '300 lb gorilla in the room' and one of the main reasons for the split.
There's a lot of great live stuff in it too, and the Bonus Features have a bunch of live tracks from different venues around 04-05. All in all just a really fabulous movie and certainly something that every DBT fan needs to see.
