Truckers' Big To-do




The Drive-By Truckers played their fifth annual Athens homecoming shows at the 40 Watt Club on January 14, 15 and 16 where they hauled out some old faves, previewed new tunes from their forthcoming 10th album, The Big To-Do (due from ATO on March 16).
Singer/songwriter Patterson Hood says the David Barbe-produced recording is "more rocking than anything we've done since disc 2 of Southern Rock Opera" which is saying a lot. During the three-night stand, the Truckers were joined by Barbe to pay tribute to their pal Vic Chesnutt as well as Eddie Hinton which also brought out Hood's father, legendary Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section bassist David Hood for two songs.
Before the 40 Watt gigs, Patterson Hood promised that the shows would be uplifting, stating on the Truckers blog "I'm planning on kicking off our first show of the decade with the most life affirming songs I can find." And true to his word, the Truckers kicked out the jams in celebratory fashion for three nights straight. The shows were documented with the band's permission by Southern Shelter (www.southernshelter.com) using a pair of Neumann KM-184 microphones and a Sony PCM-D50 recorder.
