    A song band and proud, they turn down the boogie so we're sure to get the lyrics, which except for the two Eddie Hintons are laid out as well in a booklet so handsome the habitual downloader may want one for himself (or herself, I wish).

    For folks new to the Truckers, intrigued but a little overwhelmed by their rather expansive catalog, this is the album to start with.

    Any self-respecting DBT fan will enjoy this bluesy, grim and determined changeup. [Feb. 2011, p. 72]

    A real change of pace album for DBT. I was worried at first but after sitting down and really digging into the album I found myself really enjoying Go-Go Boots. It's a refreshing change of pace that I enjoyed and to me it sounds like DBT really enjoyed making the album. A must buy for DBT fans.… Expand

    This is actually my favorite album ever by them. I have been a diehard DBTs fan for about 10 years and seen them more times than I can count over the years as well. That being said I feel this is Patterson's finest hour lyrically and how his voice sounds on many of the songs such as Mercy Buckets, Used To Be a Cop and Everybody Needs Love. I have always been a Cooley guy over the years and still am overall. I feel his contributions are very solid due to the fact they are all three mellow and more country sounding. It is good the two lead vocalists are even throughout this album. It is an absolute crime shrimp is too much of a poser music fan to like these guys.… Expand

    As a big fan of all things Trucker's, I was really dissapointed with this outing. I wasn't surprised to find out most of these songs were done around the same time as The Big To-Do. I'm assuming these didn't make the original cut. I can see why. Used To Be A Cop is a standout, but the rest are mediocre at best. After so many really great albums, I didn't think they were capable of a dud. Sadly I was wrong.… Expand
