Drive-By Truckers ~
American Band
ATO Records, 30 September 2016
More political than their recent albums, but they address politics through storytelling instead of sloganeering. Patterson Hood's cross-country move to Portland OR from Athens GA has also given him a new perspective. For my money, the best band in the USA working today, although I will admit that my opinion may be colored by my background as an Appalachian-American. On the strength of this LP, I bought a ticket yesterday to see their show at The Orange Peel in Asheville NC tonight.
My copy is on dark red vinyl, with a single sided 7" and a download card (including the song on the 7").
