"Go-Go Boots" is our new album. I count it as our eleventh, although I've seen it counted as our tenth and twelfth, We began recording it at the same time we started "The Big To-Do" but it's always been it's own thing and in many ways the polar opposite side of what we do as a band.
If "The Big To-Do" was an action adventure summertime flick (albeit with some brainy and dark undercurrents) this one is a noir film. Think Night of the Hunter only with some weird colors to it.
It's the album where we finally fully embrace the music of our original hometown area of Muscle Shoals, exploring the waters of country/soul and that mystical intersection between to two dominate poles of our shared musical heritage. It's also definitively a Drive-By Truckers album and an album that benefits heavily from the work we did backing up Bettye LaVette and Booker T. Jones a few years back.
For the record savvy, this one is a pay-off as it sounds extra great in it's intended vinyl configuration.
The vinyl sequence features Shonna's great new song "I Hear You Hummin'" which is a stellar and beautiful performance and is only available in that format.
The gatefold sleeve has some of Wes' greatest artwork ever and the mastering this time out was to perfection.
