We are having a serious love affair with the new Drive-By Truckers record Go-Go Boots, coming out 2/15 on ATO. It's not the usual cookie-cutter DBT album. It's largely acoustic. quiet, slow, beautiful, and lyrically devastating. While most DBT tunes are dark, there are usually raging guitars and a lot of general rocking to distract the listener. With Go-Go Boots, the raw song arrangements lay these stories bare, and they cut to the core. While different and not so instantly gratifying, Go-Go Boots may be the best thing Drive-By Truckers have recorded in years. The album is best served on a cold winter Sunday with a sipping whiskey, rather than on a Friday night with shots, but as always it should be served loud. See after the jump for "The Thanksgiving Filter," and above for the title track. Look at what a solid drummer Brad Morgan is. Dude can play. DBT will be in New York for New Years, with the rest of their tour dates after the jump.
