Drive-By Truckers – Go–Go Boots

For a band that has always threatened to make an all out county record, it’s somewhat surprising that they have not made an album like Go-Go Boots already. Maybe the departure of high profile band member Jason Isbell back in 2009 helped to free the band up but whatever let the cowboy hat loose, they have definitely got their country on this time around.


Throughout the album there are some great truck-stop laments. On songs like the title track Go-Go Boots, the dirty slide playing frames the tale of woe with just the right amount of whiskey-drenched resignation. Elsewhere on tracks like Dancin’ Ricky, part-time lead vocalist Shonna Tucker shows redemption isn’t just a man’s job and defiance stokes the fire with tracks like Assholes, where blame is placed anywhere but on oneself.


While the band dynamics still dip toes into the rock river, the heart of the matter seems to lie with long highway journeys, starring into recently emptied booze bottles and snap buttoned shirts stained with tears of love lost.


On Drive-By Truckers’ latest long player they have created music to get drunk to and then the morning after use as a salve to help with the hangover.
