Drive-By Truckers • Patterson Hood • Patterson Hood - Killers and Stars

Patterson Hood’s third solo record, Heat Lightning Rumbles In The Distance, will be released on September 11th on ATO Records. Hood co-produced the album with long time Drive-By Truckers’ collaborator David Barbe , who also plays bass on the album. All of his DBT band mates make appearances on the record ( Mike Cooley, Jay Gonzalez, Brad Morgan and John Neff ) as does Scott Danbom and Will Johnson from Centro-matic and Kelly Hogan . Hood’s father, famed Muscle Shoals bassist, David Hood also plays on the record. Hood originally started out writing a book that was a half-assed fictionalization of a very turbulent period of his life when he was 27. The book eventually stopped coming but the songs continued to pour out. Most of this album comes from a short period of time between February and June of 2011. Hood says, “The songs begin in the period that the book was set in, but don't end there, as they really just were the impetus for writing about the life I am living now and contrasting it with the troubled times of two decades ago. It is in some ways the most personal album I've ever made. There has always been a lot of me in all of the albums we've done, but usually semi-disguised as character sketches and stories, but the first person narrative in this one is pretty firmly rooted in autobiography, albeit in two dramatically differing time periods.”

The second solo record from the leader of the Drive-By Truckers has been 15 years in the making. The album was produced by Hood and long-time DBT producer David Barbe (Sugar). Most of his DBT band mates will join him on the album as well as Don Chambers, Will Johnson, and Scott Danbom from Centro-Matic. This is also the first time that Hood’s father David Hood, famed Muscle Shoals bass player, joins him on a record. Track Listing 1. Murdering Oscar 2. Pollyanna 3. Pride of the Yankees 4.

When the Drive-By Truckers put out a rarities album, they don’t half-ass it... rather than releasing the unfinished songs as is, the way most bands would’ve done, the Truckers actually went ahead and finished those tracks. -Pitchfork.com Drive-By Truckers (DBT) have been making music together for 13 years resulting in 7 critically acclaimed studio albums which could not contain all of the songs written by the band. DBT recently dug into the New West Records vaults and put finishing touches on a selection of songs that were never quite completed. The result of the collaboration is The Fine Print (A Collection Of Oddities and Rarities 2003-2008), a 12-track album of previously unreleased and rare songs. The Fine Print features songs written by band members past and present, including Patterson Hood, Mike Cooley and Jason Isbell. Seven of the twelve songs come from The Dirty South era, a highly creative time for DBT. The record also contains four covers including Rebels by Tom Petty, which the band recorded originally for the TV show King Of The Hill and Like A Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan which provided Shonna Tucker with her first ever lead vocal performance on a DBT recording. Track Listing: 1. George Jones Talkin’ Cell Phone Blues 2. Rebels 3. Uncle Frank (alternate version) 4. TVA 5. Goode’s Field Road (alternate version) 6. The Great Car Dealer War 7. Mama Bake A Pie (Daddy Kill A Chicken) 8. When The Well Runs Dry 9. Mrs. Claus’ Kimono 10. Play It All Night Long 11. Little Pony And The Great Big Horse 12. Like A Rolling Stone
