Drive-By Truckers – Welcome 2 Club XIII (CD)
Product Details
Club XIII was a real place, a Muscle Shoals-area bar where Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley cut their teeth long before the Southern Rock Opera days, and there's something deeply honest about returning to that mythology without romanticizing it. Recorded fast and loose in the spirit of those early years, Welcome 2 Club XIII finds DBT stripping back to raw rock and roll after nearly a decade of increasingly urgent, politically charged records.
Welcome 2 Club XIII, DBT’s 14th studio album, marks a sharp departure from the trenchant political commentary of their last three records.
A reckoning with the dualities of the things that make you alive and how they sometimes can kill you. A life affirming flashlight for the dark nights of one’s soul. The title track is a tongue in cheek homage to a local dive that founding members Cooley and Hood played in the early days. As they say in the song “Our glory days did kinda suck”.
