Drive-By Truckers

>For a band that's been hard at it for more than fifteen years, one would think Athens, Georgia's Drive-By Truckers would start phoning it in or churn out some sort of reenvisioned half-baked version of its former self. Not this band. After holing up in the studio throughout 2009, DBT crafted a canon of swampy, Southern-fried sizzlers and emerged with two damn sturdy albums: 2010's The Big To-Do and 2011's Go-Go Boots. Both serve as an exhilarating chapter in the band's already intriguing legacy. The Muscle Shoals-influenced, crunchy guitar rock still gets cranked to eleven, but both albums find the band taking its foot off the gas, flirting with a more neo-soul/R&B base — a subconscious nod to its work it did backing Booker T and Bettye LaVette on separate albums, no doubt.
