Drive By Truckers Dirt Underneath Photoshoot Daddy's Cup


SCOTT BAXENDALE:
"This video is one I shot, from the third perspective, of The Drive By Truckers photoshoot for the first leg of the Dirt Underneath Tour in april of 2007. The music was recorded earlier that day at the rehearsal and maybe the first time Mike Cooley ever played Daddy's Cup on the banjo. Jason Thrasher is the photographer and he does all the promo pics for the DBTs. He also does photos for most of the other cool bands from Athens Ga. His assistant Chad is also a bad ass photographer in his own right. This was the beginning of the most fun I ever had on the road with a band. Spooner Oldham in the rockin chair says it all."

Imagine Something Tour: Day 4

The Imagine Something Tour is rolling on and getting closer to Athens. Quick backstory: David Hill is a local musician and filmaker who's playing 21 cities in 7 days across the US and Canada - and he's taking Nuçi's Space with him. David is soliciting pledges and donations for Nuçi's Space in the name of suicide prevention and depression awareness - all while fulfilling a life-long dream.
He's on his way to Philly right now, then Baltimore, Washington D.C., Virginia and North Carolina. He'll finish up the tour here at Nuçi's Space on Sunday night around 10 pm.
For more on the tour - check out David's website here.
Here's David and his friend Robbie singing Folsom Prison Blues yesterday in Times Square.
