Album Description
The classic 1994 album from Richmond, VA's punk-rock legends is back in print and better than ever. The original twelve tracks have been re-mastered and beefed up by the addition of eleven bonus tracks (compiled from the "Attempt To Regress" 7-inch and the "Live At The Kings Head Inn" 10-inch, new liner notes, and loads of rare photos). "Dixie" is the rallying cry that put Avail on the map, belted out in emotive tales of the struggle of everyday Southern life and backed by unfathomably huge hooks and an unbridled rage. All three releases are for fans of Adolescents, Johnny Cash, Youth Brigade, Woody Guthrie, Descendents.

Dixie Remastered June 23, 2006
I'm a metal guy, but there are a few punk bands that I really enjoy. Richmond's Avail is one of those bands. Like Bad Religion, Avail combines melody with aggression, which sets them apart from the rest of the hardcore/punk scene.
Dixie is probably my least favorite Avail album, which means it is still better than just about every other hardcore/punk release. There are some great songs on Dixie (including the band's cover of the John Cougar Mellencamp staple Pink Houses), but it doesn't seem to have the focus that some of Avail's other albums have. Over the James is a great example. That album isn't simply a collection of songs; it's a mission statement. Still, Dixie is a very good album, and the 2006 reissue makes it even better.
What's not to like? The album has been digitally remastered, so it sounds great. Plus, they've added 11 bonus tracks - nearly doubling the album length. In addition to 2 studio tracks from the Attempt to Regress 7" (Connection and Mr. Morgan, which were originally on Satiate), the entire Live at the King's Head Inn 10" is included. The live tracks don't have the best sound quality, but unless you own a record player you're not going to hear them anywhere else. All in all, the band gives you plenty of reasons to replace your old copy of Dixie.
I just hope Satiate receives the same deluxe treatment someday.
