Go-Go Boots by Drive-By Truckers
Go-Go Boots is an album by Drive-By Truckers, released in 2011. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Used To Be A Cop”, on 3 lists with a best position of #7.
Go-Go Boots, the Drive-By Truckers' ninth studio album, came out in February 2011 on Play It Again Sam, and it's the band's soul record: producer David Barbe cut it across 2009 and 2010, in the same stretch that produced The Big To-Do, but this is the one that simmers.
Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley still trade lead vocals and guitars, the Alabama-born pair now working over slow-burning Southern soul grooves. Brad Morgan's drums sit deep in the pocket, Shonna Tucker's bass and backing vocals give it warmth, John Neff's pedal steel weeps around the edges and Jay Gonzalez adds keys. "Used To Be A Cop" is the standout, tense and coiled, and "Everybody Needs Love" leans all the way into the soul. Most critics came away impressed.
