Flaunting a mix of Southern pride, erudite lyrics, and a muscled three-guitar attack, Drive-By Truckers became one of the most well respected alternative country-rock acts of the 2000s. Led by frontman, Patterson Hood, and comprising a rotating cast of Georgia and Alabama natives; the band celebrates the South while refusing to paint over its spotty past. History, Southern folklore, politics, and character studies all share equal space in the Truckers' catalog. Their most recent album, The Big To-Do, was released in March of 2010 and while most of the Drive-By Trucker's albums have chronicled the Southern past, The Big To-Do is written entirely about the present. Hood describes the album as "very much a rock album. Very melodic and more rocking than anything since disc 2 of Southern Rock Opera." This promises to be one heck of a country-rock show!
