Drive-By Truckers: The Big To-Do

In 2009, the Drive-By Truckers spent time in the studio laying down tracks for what would turn into two separate releases. The Big To-Do, the first of the two albums, contains a batch of potent rockers with an edge that has been missing since the days of 2001’s Southern Rock Opera. The Big To-Do is an album that will draw you in on first listen. “Drag The Lake Charlie” juxtaposes a catchy, twisted tale against a punchy groove that would make Tom Petty proud. Other standout moments include *Shonna Tucker*’s tender vocals on the bittersweet “You Got Another” and the crunch of Paterson Hood and *Mike Cooley*’s guitars on “This Fucking Job.”

P.s. Y’all should read my elsrieat significant blog post, in which I marvelled at how many bullet holes there were in that place which were not anywhere near where the targets were. I am so glad the Sweety and I had the range to ourselves. Public ranges frighten me. (except maybe if there is a really scary badass range safety officer there, who is well-armed)
