Missed most of excellent opener BT. Portland natives have opened for the likes of Wilco, they know how to rock and usually have a busy festival dockett. Their current record is excellent and even though I missed them, I would recommend them. Logical opener for DBTs made for an enticing double-bill.
Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley, the axe-wielding core of DBTs have been together through many band incarnations. Former members Jason Isbell and Shonna Tucker have decent solo careers. Tour stalwarts, DBTs have discovered the knack of multiple guitar shred and lend it to many of their songs. Their current record is also quite good. Hood's songs have the Flannery O'connoresque angst of Skynyrd crossed with the Clash. Cooley songs tend more toward TomPettyisms and sometimes don't segue well the Hood songs. Good overall show with some muddy spots. Hard to not to yell the refrain "hell no I ain't happy!" during Hood's signature tune.
