Thanks to j9j5g over in the Derek Trucks forum for pionting out that Songlines is available for pre-order. Songlines, of course, is the new Derek Trucks Band album. It is scheduled to be released in the end of February.
You can pre-order the album at the Sony Music Store.
I just pre-ordered my copy. Go and do the same!

It seems that my upgrade to WordPress 2.0 for Radio DTB caused the podcast feed to re-issue podcasts 11-19 and the extra podcast. For those of you who have already heard those episodes (twice, since this happened when I upgraded to WordPress 1.5, too), I apologize.
Of course, you can just use this opportunity to enjoy those episodes again if you like.
For those of you anxiously awaiting the next podcast, I promise it’s coming. I’ve just been really busy lately and haven’t been able to put it together yet.
If you’re going to be at either the Bethesda, MD or Easton, MD shows, let me know — I’ll be there and it would be great to meet you before or after the show.

I just finished upgrading the blog engine from WordPress 1.5 to the lastest, 2.0. Everything appears to have gone off without a hitch and my readers shouldn’t even notice. If you do notice anything out of sorts, please let me know and I’ll take care of it as soon as I can.

The RadioDTB.com website is currently going through some changes as I upgrade from WordPress 1.2 to 1.5 I’ve been meaning to upgrade for a little while, but kept pushing it off. I finally upgraded over the past few days because on Wednesday, RadioDTB.com became a victim of a hacker attack. Someone hacked into the site and created a fake eBay login page designed to capture private username and password information.
To anyone who received a phoney email, I apologize. When my web host provider became aware of the problem, they disabled RadioDTB.com until I was able to complete the upgrade to WordPress 1.5, which should eliminate the security hole. I have also provided my server logs to eBay in case there is any information in those logs that will help track down the criminal who exploited the security flaw in my website.
As a result of the upgrade, all of the customizations to RadioDTB.com were temporarily lost. Right now, all of the MP3 files are still online, as are all of the blog posts. The Feedburner RSS feed has not yet been re-activiated, but I plan to do that tonight. Pages such as “About” and “Podcasts” will be coming back online in the next several days and I will probably also re-design the layout to look something more like what the website looked like last week instead of the default template that is currently in place.
I am also still trying to work through the legal and licensing issues that were recently raised by BMI about some of the content in the podcasts. Especially based on recent activity related to the Grateful Dead’s music on archive.org, it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to continue the podcasts. I promise that I will produce at least one more podcast before completely pulling the plug, and I will continue to monitor the licensing issues and work to overcome the obstacles currently in place. Perhaps, sometime in the future, RadioDTB.com will be able to legally and in good conscious resume the podcasts in full force. Unfortunately, right now, I’m not able to do so.
Stay tuned, I should have more information in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for your patience.

Radio DTB Extra #001 (5.4 MB, 8 min) is now available.
Radio DTB Extra #001 is a special edition of Radio DTB. It’s short and contains no music. In it, I read a letter that I received from BMI. This letter implies that in order to distribute the Radio DTB podcast, I need to enter into a licensing agreement with BMI (and potentially other organizations). Because all of the music featured on Radio DTB comes from the Live Music Archive (archive.org), I do not believe that such licensing agreements are required. However, until I can sort out the the issues involved, Radio DTB will be on hiatus.
Thanks for your support. I hope to be back “on the air” as soon as possible.

Yesterday, I announced that I was moving the Radio DTB MP3s to ourmedia.org in order to guard against potentially large bandwidth bills should the podcast ever become super-popular. After playing with the ourmedia.org interface for a day, I’ve decided to move back to the way that I’ve been doing it so far and just continue to host the MP3 files myself. I think that what ourmedia.org is doing is great work and I hope that they are able to continue to provide free unlimited storage and bandwidth — if I start bumping up against my bandwidth limit, I’ll probably switch to them. But, for now, I enjoy the greater reporting capabilities I have when I host the files myself.
Again, this change should be completely transparent for users of the site. As always, feel free to send me feedback about any aspect of the site.

Radio DTB got a mention on Episode #25 of the GoRadio podcast when Jeri and Nicole interviewed me in relationship with a contest I won on their podcast. Unfortuanely, they were experiencing some technical issues when they made the podcast and the overall audio is worse than it usually is for their podcast, so this particular episode is sometimes difficult to listen to. Jeri and Nicole were kind enough to let me talk about podcasting in general, where I gave a shout-out to two of my favorite other podcasts: Closet Deadhead and The Roadhouse. I also talked a little bit about what I’m doing here on Radio DTB. I made a notable error when I mentioned that Derek Trucks is in his early 20’s. Of course, he’s 26, which is more accurately categorazied as mid-20’s. If you’d like to hear the interview with me, grab the MP3 and fast-forward to about 48:56.

I’m making a change at Radio DTB that should be completely transparent — I’m moving the MP3s for the podcast to Ourmedia, a site that works in conjunction with The Internet Archive to provide “free storage and free bandwidth for your videos, audio files, photos, text or software. Forever. No catches.” I haven’t had any problems with storage or bandwidth yet, but I sill dream that Radio DTB will become popular enough (maybe if I got listed in iTunes, e.g.) that I will eventually worry about it so I’d like to go ahead and move the existing shows to a permanent location that will be able to handle it.
This change should not be noticable to any users, but if you do notice any problems at all getting the podcasts, let me know.

The Aspen Times has an article about the Derek Trucks Band’s upcoming album:
Studio Experience: Derek Trucks Explores Studio Possibilities
On the endless road that guitarist Derek Trucks has been traveling for some 10 years, the recording studio has been treated as “just another stop on the tour,” said the 26-year-old….
“It’s the first record I’ve done that I’ve listened to just to listen to,” said Trucks, a native of Jacksonville, Fla., whose side job since 1999 has been playing with his uncle Butch Trucks in the Allman Brothers Band. “It’s one of the few times we’ve left the studio feeling energized and pumped about it.”
Read the full article….
The more I hear about this upcoming album, the more excited I get about it. I believe we’re looking at a February release. I can’t wait!

Do you want to learn how to play guitar like Derek Trucks? Good luck!
Seriously, though, a great resource to start with is the Derek Trucks Band Tabs website, which has lyrics, chords, and tablature for lots of Derek Trucks Band music. I’ve added a link to the site to the “DTB Resources” blogroll that is available on the right column of every page on Radio DTB, so you’ll always be able to find it.
