Drive-By Truckers’ 13th studio album arrives with little notice, announced just a few days before release—but for fans of Patterson Hood’s long-running Southern rock band, the of-the-moment topicality of these nine songs is anything but surprising. DBTs’ second album of 2020 finds the quintet turning their searing, soulful songwriting towards civil unrest and our fractured collective psyche, throwing in a rip-roaring cover of the Ramones’ “The KKK Took My Baby Away” for good measure. Twenty-five years in, Drive-By Truckers have lost none of their Southern-fried bite, continuing to proudly sound like no one except themselves.
