Drive-By Truckers sind eine Rock / Alternative Country Band aus Athens, Georgia. Gegründet 1996 von Patterson Hood und Mike Cooley machte sich die Band in den USA einen Namen durch zahlreiche Live-Auftritte und kann u. a auf eine Grammy Nominierung zurück blicken. Das neue neue Album wurde von David Barbe (Sugar) produziert.
The new one, the one we’re meant to enjoy just now, is called The Big To-Do and ushers in a new relationship with ATO. And it offers up the curious, abiding peace which only great rock can still bring.
Which is not to say that Hood and his long-time fellow-travelers — Mike Cooley (vocals and guitars), along with Brad Morgan (drums), Shonna Tucker (vocals and bass), John Neff (extra guitars, as if there could be such a thing), Jay Gonzalez (keyboards) and studio facilitator David Barbe — travel only on the darkest side of the street. But they do know the road tolerably well.
Well-traveled, they have become a family band: Patterson has a new son, and a daughter; Cooley (nobody calls him Mike) has a trio of little ones, both men betraying more optimism than their songs might hint at. They took most of 2009 off from the road, in part because there was a child on the way and in part because Patterson ended up finishing their last tour on the sidelines with pleurisy. Dog sick. Way worse than hungover.
Somewhat to their surprise they’ve stumbled into a stable ensemble — not that the Truckers have been anything like Savoy Brown — which confuses even Patterson. “I’ve loved all the different line-ups, at various times,” he says with genuine affection. “They’ve all had their special things they’ve done. But this time it seems like our possibilities go a lot further, because there’s no drama, no bullshit, and everyone seems really glad to be there all the time. Which is a nice thing. And we really just work well together.”
