The new Drive-by Truckers' album is out. At first hearing(s), a more countrified and soulful effort than their sometimes somewhat strained last outing. America's greatest rock'n'roll band made their name with the epic Southern Rock Opera. Mostly because I've had them on the old ipod for a week or so, two Patterson Hood songs stand out early on: mind you, the themes come pretty close to home (I'll take the second as a theme song).In some ways, these songs echo some of their earlier efforts. Try this from Pizza Deliverance.
The lead songwriter has always been Patterson Hood; there are some great Mike Cooley songs on the new album. This one's from Gangstabilly.
They really are the business, believe me...
