Drive-By Truckers - The Big To-Do
Stream / Purchase [mp3]
The title, The Big To-Do, is a bit of a misnomer, as this might be the smallest record that Drive-By Truckers have released. Calling it a 'smaller to-do' isn't meant to be critical, more that there's no concept, no double-album and nothing terribly difficult to get into. Supposedly, DBT have a double-album worth of material but instead chose to release the more accessible half now, with the rest coming either later this year or early 2011. I think it's a wise choice, as this collection of songs works well together and might do well to expand their listener base beyond their current cult circle. Of course, there was still room here for the difficult highlight “The Wig He Made Her Wear," which deals weaves a tale of spousal homicide.Free AOL Album Stream
