Review

These Alabama rockers achieved critical acclaim for 2001's double-CD Southern Rock Opera, a two-act, Tommy-goes-to-Dixie opus juxtaposing the tragedy of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the life of the Truckers' prolific songwriter and enigmatic vocalist Patterson Hood. But long out of print even before Opera's release is the simpler and more impulsive 1998 debut Gangstabilly (also remastered and re-released on New West Records), a 48-hour live-in-the-studio jam session of boiled-over twang, double-barrel rock and roll and South-deprecating wit. While nothing is off-limits in Hood's Deep South reconnaissance--Faberge cologne, domestic violence, Led Zeppelin, Republicans in hell, Porter Wagoner, baloney sandwiches and '68 Bonnevilles--the Truckers tread on the imagery with reverence rather than mockery. A tribute to late actor "Steve McQueen" is faster than the car-chase scene in Bullitt. The crudeness-meets-reality of "Buttholeville" is as much white heat as it is white trash. And Hood's "The Living Bubba," about an Atlanta musician dying of AIDS who "can't die now cuz I got another show," turns from an earnest tribute to a "no preachin', no self-servin'" message from a band with a conscience--and a future. - Scott HolterRe-issue of long out of print CD from the Drive-By Truckers. Re-mastered with up-dated linner notes from Patterson Hood.
