Drive-By Truckers - A Blessing and a Curse

Description: 2001's Southern Rock Opera catapulted the Drive-By Truckers from their early status as another alt-country band with a joke name into one of the smartest, edgiest, and most talked-about hard rock bands in America. Most of this album's 11 songs were written in the studio during the recording sessions. The sound and the feel of these tunes is consistent with the band's previous body of work. These songs sound great -- Patterson Hood, Mike Cooley and Jason Isbell remain a triple-threat team as guitarists, songwriters, and singers, and the tough, funky report of Brad Morgan's Brad Morgan's drums and Shonna Tucker's bass drives this music with both groove and force. The hard-earned wisdom about matters of the heart related on "Space City," "A World of Hurt," and "Feb. 14" cuts deep down to the bone, as does the day-to-day emotional chaos of "Aftermath U.S.A." and the title cut. The Drive-By Truckers have never sounded better in the studio as they do on "A World of Hurt," Without polishing away their personality, producer David Barbe and mixer John Agnello get the band's three-guitar onslaught on tape with equal shares of muscle and clarity, while the tight interplay between the players suggests the Rolling Stones at their Sticky Fingers/Exile on Main Street peak as much as the DBTs' oft-cited role models Lynrd Skynrd. This CD confirms that the Drive-By Truckers are still one of the best hard rock band in America today.
