You came in swinging
You wanted a fight
I thought you would never leave
You caught me good
Said what i deserved
Thats what you believe
I want you to know
I want you to realIze
Well I hope you can tell
We tapered off when
It should have been cut
Thats on me and I know
I never thought that
this would linger so much
I misjudged your street ego
I want you to know
I want you to realIze
Well I hope you can tell
Oh I can’t dry my eyes
My hand is tied to this budwies-
Errrr, I feel nothing since I’m gone. - X2
You said you threw me out
I’m a total jerk, quite a lout
But I’m already packed, I’m on the run
i said lets take a break
But the brakes wore out
long before we were done
"The Tisbury Joneser finds The Dirty Truckers continuing to not fix what isn't broke. There will always be a place in the world for a band like this that aspires to nothing more than to write great songs and rock the hell out of 'em!" - Lord Rutledge
"Its ten numbers retain the same grubby, Boston rock ‘n’ roll heart that’s been vital to their past work, only this time, the sense of genuine punch and sheer energy sounds more assured and focused. It makes the band’s return not only sound great, but absolutely vital." - Real Gone
"Rock ain’t dead, all you have to do is listen to the latest Dirty Trucker release “The Tisbury Joneser.” Baker and the boys at their finest." - Jerry Lehane, The Dogmatics
"Some rock & roll bands do the leopard thing, by which we mean they don’t change their spots. That’s because a band like the Dirty Truckers doesn’t need to – four chords, cranked amps and hearts on sleeves were good enough for their forebears, and, by jiminy, those things are good enough for them. For some people that makes the Truckers and their fourth album The Tisbury Joneser unimaginative, but what it really makes them is dependable, and that’s a compliment." - Michael "Denim" Toland
"Singer/songwriter Tom Baker knows how to make loud, roots-informed, bar band rock & roll tunes that catch your ear, nod your head and, when you’re not looking, tear up your eye, and that’s just fine. More than fine, frankly – Baker and the Truckers do this very well, making them more than just comfort food and more like a staple of a healthy diet. Memorable bashers like “I Feel Nothing,” “Just Forget It” and “Keep It in the Vault” feel so right, just like Alabama. The band also lays down smoking versions of the Rolling Stones’ “All Down the Line” and R.L. Burnside’s “Georgia Women” – neither one easy to convincingly pull off. So give thanks for the Dirty Truckers – that straightforward brand of rock & roll that thankfully never dies is in good hands. One question, though: what the heck is a Tisbury Joneser?" - Big Takeover Magazine
"Rum Bar proudly brings into the world 10 new songs of heart-on-sleeve dive bar rock and roll from unsung songwriting great Tom Baker and his illustrious partners-in-crime (John Brookhouse on lead guitar, Jamie Griffith on bass, and Johnny "Rock" Lynch on drums). When it comes to The Dirty Truckers or any Tom Baker project, you know exactly what to expect: no-nonsense blue collar rock and roll for fans of The Replacements, Rolling Stones, and everything that's good in between. The Westerberg/Stinson influence looms large on this release as the splendid tracks "Cut Me Loose," "(You've Got The) Shakes Again," and "Remember One" tip the cap to early, late, and classic period Replacements." - Faster And Louder
"All the best Dirty Truckers material has a mood of being late night at the bar. “I Feel Nothing” has that magic. It’s all in Tom Baker's voice. It’s a gift. Listen to how he pronounces ‘realize’ in this song. He owns that word." - Boston Groupie News
"All Tom Baker has to do is deliver I Feel Nothing with the little rough edge he has on his voice, as if he is totally sure of himself. With a band like this behind him there's no room for doubts whatsoever." - WoNo Blog
This was a lock down record and we hope you enjoy it immensely because we do. Like all DTs records, this is MADE TO BE PLAYED LOUD! **The Tisbury Joneser….
What can we say about The Dirty Truckers celebrated song book and catalog releases delivering a sonic wall of '70s FM thunder welded by earnest, heart-worn sleeve blue collar rock n' roll that hasn't already been said??!!
"Oh jesus christ that smokes." - Scott Hudson, The Ledge
"One of the great American rock n' roll bands of recent times."
- Lord Rutledge
"In a world where watered down rock ‘n’ roll is lauded, this Boston ensemble kicks Americana infused sand in the face of such blandness. This is the real fucking deal." - Mass Movement
"There can't be anything sweeter than a band just kicking up a shitstorm of rock and roll music with strong hooks and melodies and a whole lot of energy and attitude that all adds up to a damn good time." - Uber Rock
"You can call this alt-country or Americana if you want. But unlike some of the stuff that gets labeled in such a way, this is real rock and roll!" - Faster And Louder
"Aquí hay ROCK AND ROLL. Así, en mayúsculas." - Ruta 66
"“….Dose” is 31 minutes of the best punk tinged Americana you will ever hear." - Maximum Volume Music
"..the riffs are ballsy; the lead vocals husky..,and combined, the bar-room sound really flies." - Real Gone
"Great songs, big riffs, melodies that’ll hook you like a Marlin…" - Fear And Loathing
"The ultimate rock band of our time; hard, reckless, constantly flying out of the corner. They are the reincarnation of The Replacements and The Faces with a dose of Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Steve Earle." - Robbie Klanderman, the Floridian Cowboy
"I know what I'm playing on the Manifesto tomorrow night." - Greg Lonesome, Rock N' Roll Manifesto
"Dirty Fing Truckers Holy _____ Mr. Lou. We’re lovin’ it." - Hanks Alternative Radio
“If you like your rock & roll to worry less about subgenres and more about just getting to the good stuff, Tom Baker is yer man, man.” – Michael "Denim" Toland
"If you ever wondered what the house band at Merlotte’s Bar in True Blood would sound like, then pop this on your stereo, grab some beers and have a good time." - The Soul of a Clown
"When you read the names like Tom Baker and Tad Overbaugh and they’re on a record released on Rum Bar Records you know it’s going to be something special and most likely kick some serious Rock and Roll rear end." - RPM Online
"A primer on how to turbocharge the legacy of folk, country and early rock." - Blurt
"There are true believers in the world. Men and women who play the same chord that slapped them awake on first contact, each note sounding like it was meant to bounce off garage walls. The Dirty Truckers are the torchbearers as they hammer out the joy of that initial moment with drums, bass, and guitar turned up to 11 on their recent release, Second Dose." - The Alternate Root
