Drive-By Truckers – The Complete Dirty South (2-CD)
Product Details
Patterson Hood has described *The Dirty South* as the album where Drive-By Truckers fully found their voice, rooting their Southern gothic storytelling in the specific geography and contradictions of small-town Alabama. This expanded edition restores the sequencing and sonic vision Hood originally heard in his head, making it the definitive version of a record that cemented the band's place alongside the great Southern rock storytellers, from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Jason Isbell's own early work cutting his teeth in this very lineup.
"In 2004 the Drive-By Truckers released what would become the best selling album in their illustrious catalog. The Dirty South is a concept album that examines the state of the South, and unveils the hypocrisy, irony, and tragedy that continues to exist. The album features live show staples like, “Tornadoes”, “Where The Devil Dont Stay” and “Puttin People On The Moon” as well as rarities like “Goode’s Field Road” and “Daddy’s Cup.”
The Complete Dirty South is a band-led rework of the original album. Principal member, Patterson Hood, took the reins and reimagined this record as it was originally intended. The complete version features resequenced audio, three additional tracks, four remixes along with updated vocals. The packaging comes with a perfect bound book featuring liner notes from Patterson Hood, track by track descriptions from Mike Cooley and Jason Isbell as well as never before seen photos along with updated artwork from the late Wes Freed.
“This ‘Director’s Cut’ is the way it was always intended to be heard” - Patterson Hood"
