They've played the new single live - I have to confess I didn't think much of it but now I know more about the project I'm intrigued

Also looks like Al Barr's break from the band means he is not involved on this album or its tour.

 

Sounds interesting, always liked their acoustic/slower stuff. What they show off in the video sounds good so far.

Also have to say that I like the decision not to make a normal DKM record without Al. He is such a big part of what made the band great, wouldn't feel right without him.

 

Band/songs aren’t the same without Al.

 

Finally gave this a listen and reckon it's pretty decent? Having archive vocals of Woody on the last song is a nice touch.

Talking Jukebox and Where Trouble is At are surprisingly heavy, Never Git Drunk No More gives off Dirty Glass vibes.

The singles did it a bit of a disservice.

 

As someone who lives in the UK, aside from messing up certain rhymes, this is extremely cool. You can accuse DKM of many things, but they walk the damn walk when it comes to supporting workers' rights.

And first single off Okemah Rising:
