Genre: Folk rock, alt-country
Comments: Southern rock powerhouse Drive-By Truckers laid down about two dozen tracks during a late 2009/early 2010 recording session, and the band decided to split those up into two albums. The first release was 2010's The Big To-Do, a collection of '70s-drenched guitar rock tunes that drew the band even closer to the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Compared to its companion release, Go-Go Boots is folksier and more stripped-down, with some classic soul and country seeping in. (Is that Sam Cooke whom Patterson Hood is channeling on album standout "Everybody Needs Love"? Did Mike Cooley turn into George Jones on "The Weakest Man"?) Drive-By Truckers are one of the best rock bands around, but Go-Go Boots is proof that statement reads the same when you take out the word "rock." Try 6, 8, 1 and 5.
