Patterson Hood – Exploding Trees & Airplane Screams (LP Vinyl)
Patterson Hood has been one of American rock's most unflinching storytellers since co-founding Drive-By Truckers in the mid-90s, building a catalog dense with Southern gothic detail and working-class moral weight. A decade-plus away from solo recording means this one arrives with real stakes, and the piano-centered writing points toward a quieter, more reflective corner of his voice that fans of his acoustic sets have long wanted to hear fully realized.
Patterson Hood's first solo record in over a decade was born out of a friendship with producer Chris Funk (The Decemberists). The pair would often perform together for fun and during Hood's solo tours, making far-off plans to make a record together. They eventually went into Jackpot Studios in Portland. Many of the songs were composed on piano marking a bigger departure from his work with Drive-By Truckers than prior solo efforts. Guest appearances from: Waxahatchee, Wednesday and Lydia Loveless
