Go-Go Boots

VINYL FORMAT. On 180 gram gatefold double vinyl, with a vinyl-only bonus track and a CD copy of the album! Drive-By Truckers present Go-Go Boots on ATO Records. Go-Go Boots is their eleventh record and was produced by their longtime producer, David Barbe. The album builds on their roots with the old Muscle Shoals country-and-soul sound. 'We recorded nearly forty songs last year and into this year and fairly early on divided it into two separate albums,' explains Drive-By Truckers co-founder Patterson Hood. 'The Big To-Do, released first, was the more straightforward "rock" album. Go-Go Boots is what I sometimes (semi-jokingly) refer to as our country, soul, and murder ballad album. Those elements definitely play into it, but it's a little more open ended than that.' Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley continue to be the chief songwriters of the group, continuing a musical partnership that has lasted over twenty-three years. Bassist Shonna Trucker flexes her songwriting muscles once again by contributing two original songs to the album. Brad Morgan (drums), John Neff (guitar/pedal steel) and Jay Gonzalez (keyboards) round out the current Drive-By Truckers lineup.
