Agree for the most part with waltersalas, but, the southern rock opera should be first on the list then dirty south then decoration day. They play more songs live off of the southern rock opera...it is their classic album.
There are a ton of downloads available of live performances from them at archive.org
Southern Rock Opera gives you a taste of their vibe. Great sense of humor in their lyrics and the electric guitar Southern rock sound. Decoration Day and Dirty South are more polished and radio friendly.
if you really get into dbt the answer is all of them. but i would start with dirty south and decoration day. these 2 cds show what they are all about. rock, narratives, attitude, authenticity
