Rise and shine! It's time to greet the new year! All right, your hesitation is understood, but make sure you roll out of bed in time to catch the return of the Drive-By Truckers. Having hunkered down in their studio around the end of 2009, the Truckers produced enough material for at least two new albums. The first, The Big To-Do, was released in March, and the next, Go-Go Boots (ATO Records), is nearly ready to be let loose. Expect a good portion of their show to feature those new songs (and maybe even newer ones), though the guys are sure to plumb their extensive back catalog throughout the night. Patterson Hood has referred to Go-Go Boots as a "R&B murder" album. What does that mean? Who knows, but the Truckers seem to be doing some good, old-fashioned genre-messing.
