Drive By Truckers Shift Into Overdrive

The Drive By Truckers Shift Into Overdrive

This Friday and Saturday the Drive By Truckers will play their annual benefit concert at Athens, Georgia’s, 40-Watt Club for Nuci’s Space. On January 22, the Truckers will perform at John Bell’s Hannah’s Buddies charity in Orlando, Florida.

On February 15, the Truckers latest David Barbe-produced studio release, Go-Go Boots, hits the streets that includes artwork from Wes Freed. Also, the long-awaited Truckers documentary, Secret To A Happy Ending, will also be shown in Athens this weekend.

The Truckers begin their Go-Go Boots tour soon...

Here’s a video from the episodes the Truckers have released for the new disc.  In this episode, Patterson Hood talks about the story behind two of the songs on Go-Go Boots which deal with a preacher who contracts the murder of his wife.

Says Hood:

When people in positions of authority... who are supposed to be standing for the morally upright... commit horrific crimes, it's always been a fascinating thing to me.

More Truckers news soon...
