A humid morning in New Orleans. The US tour is rolling ever onwards. By the standards of this country, this has been a pretty short run, and it’s weird to think we’re in the final stretch now. I mean, we only played one show in Texas. Eh? Nevertheless, we have some cool stops ahead of us – Atlanta, Birmingham, Baltimore, NYC. And then we hit the studio hard to make the new album. Exciting times.

My good friend Chuck Ragan has gone and published a book. Actually, it’s a compilation of entries by lots of different people, including members of Gaslight Anthem, Hot Water Music. At The Drive-In, yours truly and many, many more. The book is all about how to survive the road, a life lived on the move. I’m very proud to have been asked to be part of this, and having had a quick flick through the finished thing, I can say that it’s a great book and a treasure trove of advice and information. The book is called “The Road Most Traveled” and you can get your copy from Amazon right here. Enjoy.

Right, time for some Cajan cooking for lunch…
