Congrats to the Drive-By Truckers on signing to ATO Records. The band readies their 10th album, The Big To-Do on March 16, 2010. Patterson Hood is quoted in the press release describing the album as “very melodic and more rocking than anything we’ve done since disc 2 of Southern Rock Opera.” Great news, we’re sold. Expect the band to tour, as they always do, around this record. Here’s hoping they make up their canceled Milwaukee date from earlier this year.
The Big To-Do Track Listing:
1. Daddy Learned to Fly
2. The Fourth Night of My Drinking
3. Birthday Boy
4. Drag the Lake Charlie
5. The Wig He Made Her Wear
6. You Got Another
7. This Fucking Job
8. Get Downtown
9. After the Scene Dies
10. (It’s Gonna Be) I Told You So
11. Santa Fe
12. The Flying Wallendas
13. Eyes Like Glue
14. Girls Who Smoke (Bonus track – vinyl only)
Excellent news. I’m hoping they have a WI stop on the tour – ideally Madison but I’ll make the trip to Milwaukee if I gotta.
Even though it’s a collection of B-sides, The Fine Print is really amazing. It almost feels like an actual album.
The Fine Print is WAY better than either of their last two records…TVA is one amazing song.
