Drive-By Truckers – Southern Rock Opera (Hol CD)
Product Details
Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley built *Southern Rock Opera* from the ground up as an independent release, selling it out of the backs of cars before it found wider distribution and eventually landed the band a deal with New West Records. The album's meditation on Southern identity, the "duality of the Southern thing," and the tragedy of the 1977 Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash remains one of the most ambitious conceptual statements in American rock of the past quarter century.
Southern Rock Opera is the third studio album by the American rock band Drive-By Truckers, released in 2001. A double album covering an ambitious range of subject matter from the politics of race to 1970s stadium rock, Southern Rock Opera either imagines, or filters, every topic through the context of legendary Southern band Lynyrd Skynyrd.
