Product Details

Recorded in the same prolific sessions that yielded 2010's *The Big To-Do*, *Go-Go Boots* finds Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley leaning into the shadowy, Southern Gothic side of their songwriting, the side that owes as much to Chips Moman and Dan Penn as it does to Neil Young. The album's quieter arrangements let the storytelling breathe, placing Drive-By Truckers squarely in the tradition of Southern writers who understand that the most unsettling truths are best delivered at a slow burn.

Go-Go Boots builds on their roots with the old Muscle Shoals country-and-soul sound. 'We recorded nearly 40 songs last year and into this year and fairly early on divided it into two separate albums' explains DBT co-founder Patterson Hood. 'The Big To-Do, releases first, was the more straightforward 'rock' album. Go-Go Boots is what I sometimes (semi-jokingly) refer to as our country, soul, and murder ballad album. Those elements definitely play into it, but it's a little more open ended than that.'
