The Dirty South, the fifth album from Athens, Georgia's Drive-By Truckers, came out on New West in 2004, and it's another concept record, their second after Southern Rock Opera. Once again the subject is the South itself, and the band go digging for the hypocrisy, the irony and the plain tragedy the postcards leave out.
This was a three-guitar, three-singer outfit at full strength: Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley, who first met as college roommates in Alabama, trading lead vocals with Jason Isbell, while Shonna Tucker on bass and Brad Morgan on drums keep the wheels in the ruts. It's Southern rock with hard-rock muscle and a storyteller's patience, the loud guitars serving the tales instead of drowning them. "Never Gonna Change" is the track the countdowns remember.
