Nice. Can't wait to hear it. I wish they'd tour anywhere close so I could check out a live show, sounds like they put on a hell of a show.

They will do an extensive tour with this album, which I hear is a double album??
I saw them in Toronto last time through and it was amazing, hopefully they will make it out west for you guys.

I picked up the new album at lunch today. I'm only about 8 songs in and I'm really enjoying it so far. It sounds like bass player Shonna Tucker has taken over Jason Isbell's role as the 3rd songwriter. I'll post more thoughts after I've had a chance to fully absorb the record. At 19 songs, this thing's a monster!

Their comin out West!
Y'ALL:
We are thrilled to announce another leg of THE HOME FRONT WORLD TOUR 2008
February and March went so great and seemed to gain intensity with each show.
Everyone is getting some rest (except maybe Brad) and gearing up to make May our best tour yet.
BRIGHTER THAN CREATION'S DARK is still moving towards being our best selling and most acclaimed album yet.
Word is that it will be coming out on vinyl (180gm) in the very near future and Late Night with Conan O'Brien will be re-broadcasting our appearance on May 29th.
Now we're ready to go ahead and announce shows for June.
As always check with our website for updates and the latest info.
Order tickets early because most shows have been selling out this year.
Stay tuned for announcements of support and future dates and as always
See You at the Rock Show.

I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

SWEEEEEEEEET
I'm a little disapointed I never saw them with Jason Isbell, but I'm all over this show. I wonder where they will play. I looked up the festival and it takes place at various venues around town.....also playing the festival is Elliot Brood, who I saw open or Corb Lund a couple of years back...worth checking out as well

I've never seen them live, so I'm really looking forward to the Calgary show. The festival hasn't announced the official schedule yet, but I know they're playing the outdoor main stage.
