It's been a long week here at TheFrontloader.com. As you can tell, I'm getting back into the swing of things... I'm starting to listen to more music again (woohoo!) and finally finding the time to write. It feels good to rediscover some old music, and it feels even better to come across some new material that will undoubtedly end up on the frequently played list. What I do miss here is my partner-in-crime. You know who you are... I hope you miss it too and I hope you come back. Things just aren't [...]

Last week saw the release of Drive-By Truckers' co-frontman Patterson Hood's second solo-album, Murdering Oscar (and other love songs) . I believe the album also marks the first on DBT's new label (their own), Ruth Street Records. The album was produced by Patterson and long-time DBT producer David Barbe. Joining Patterson on the album are most of his Truckers bandmatesa as well as Don Chambers, Will Johnson and Scott Danbom of Centro-matic & South San Gabriel. Patterson's father, David Hood, also joins him on cd for the first time ever. Like Patterson's first solo album, [...]

As one might expect in such an Americana-based act, you can look forward to plenty of music detailing the fighting of devils and the wading of waters. A [...]
