Patterson Hood – Heat Lightning Rumbles in the Distance (CD)
Product Details
Hood has always straddled the line between Southern rock grit and literary confession, and that tension is what makes his solo work feel distinct from even his finest Drive-By Truckers output. These songs carry the weight of a writer who spent years sitting with difficult material before figuring out the right form for it, characters and all.
Patterson Hood, one of the principal songwriters of raucous rockers Drive-By Truckers, is slated to return with his third solo album, Heat Lightning Rumbles in the Distance, due out in September 2012. The songs on the album began in the form of a novel Hood was working on, a fictional but semi-autobiographical account of a dark time in the singer's late twenties. The book remained unfinished, but the characters and events he began chronicling in written form translated well into song.
