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.”

Like the terrific all-access, behind-the-scenes band documentaries that preceded it, The Secret to a Happy Ending shows the Drive-By Truckers at their most vulnerable, a three critical year chronicle of touring and recording a band overcoming trauma and surviving a near breakup—all while also searching for an ever-elusive happy ending. 101 min documentary about the Drive-By Truckers by Barr Weissman Includes special bonus material including full versions of songs and extra interviews Region free, will play in all DVD players Check out www.thesecrettoahappyending.com for more info

Far more than on any of the Drive-By Truckers' previous albums, Go-Go Boots rises like smoke from the old Muscle Shoals country-and-soul sound. Having recorded with Bettye LaVette and Booker T. Jones, and having spent a lifetime listening to classic soul albums by Bobby Womack, Tony Joe White, and especially Eddie Hinton, it was inevitable that the Truckers eventually produce this album.
