One of America's best band, Drive-By Truckers
will release their elventh record, Go-Go Boots
, February 15 on ATO Records. The album was produced by their longtime producer, David Barbe (Deerhunter, Bettye LaVette, Sugar). The band will also release their documentary The Secret to a Happy Ending on DVD.
Go-Go Boots will be issued on CD, in a Deluxe Edition and and viny as well as digital availability. The albu draws on the the band's country and soul roots and is a contrast to their more boisterous previous release.
"We recorded nearly 40 songs last year and into this year and fairly early on divided it into two separate albums," said DBT co-founder Patterson Hood. "The Big To-Do
, released first, was the more straight forward 'Rock' album. Go-Go Boots is what I sometimes - semi-jokingly - refer to as our country, soul, and murder ballad album. Those elements definitely play into it, but it's a little more open ended than that."
The Secret to a Happy Ending is a chronicle of the band, which grew up with Southern Rock and also the soul music made in Muscle Shoals, Alabama by black and white musicians while the civil rights movement was in full throttle. It’s also about leaving home. taking a punk tact to making a new kind of Southern rock, literate and meaningful, while also embracing musicianship and songcraft. FilmBuff will be releasing the movie on iTunes and across other digital platforms.
Additionally, DBT will show their appreciation for vinyl and independent record stores by releasing a special 10” 45 with “Thanksgiving Filter” and “Used To Be A Cop” on Record Store Day, November 26th. Both songs will be on Go-Go Boots and the release will be a limited pressing of only 2,500 copies and will feature a special sleeve designed by Wes Freed as well as a download card.
