Drive-By Truckers Announces Fall Outing

This week’s tour announcement coincided nicely with the news that Drive-By Truckers’ latest LP, English Oceans, is included on Paste’s list of “The 25 Best Albums of 2014 (So Far).”

Paste writes, “What distinguishes the Truckers’ 12th album from the rest of their excellent recent pack is two-fold: 1) The band came out firing hot, the batch of lean rock songs presented in their visceral, unadorned rawness, and 2) More than ever before, this is a [Mike] Cooley album, with six of his compositions shaping the overall tone of the record. It’s a triumph for the Drive-By Truckers, one that capitalizes on [Patterson] Hood and Cooley’s strengths as songwriters and also gives them something to sing for that means more than all their colorful characters put together.”
