Last month, the ATG team celebrated Valentine's Day with a writer-by-writer exposé of the number one love song of all time . This month, our tenderness has turned, and we're taking a look at the Wario of love songs, the breakup song. Which homage to heartbreak reigns supreme? How do the breakups break down? Check out our answers after the jump and let us know what we missed in the comments. JIA @JiaTolentino [...]
hey, howdy, hi! ive been obsessing over the truckers for the past week or so, which is not a bad problem to have and it does happen quite often. when southern rock opera came out in 91 i was living in chicago, and while i loved the record i dont think i necessarily think i got the "southern" thing. granted i had been to the south, but not really experienced the south outside of touristy type places. it wasnt until i moved down here that i really started to get whatever "it" is. the songs definitely resonate more personally now [...]
Patterson Hood is responsible for this music blog existing. We've probably never told the story, but Woody and I met at a business event in Chicago where things like insurance, mortgage, real estate, home security systems, outsourced HR, search engine optimization or similar such bullshit was being discussed. I think we were both wearing slacks. As we were filling up our coffee cups, one of us asked the other what we were into in real life. "I like music" said the other. "What type of music?" asked the other. "Have you ever heard of Drive-By Truckers..." Have you [...]
I'd planned to drive down to Columbia, MO, on Tuesday night to see Drive-By Truckers at the Blue Note . But then I got tied up (a friend offered me a free meal) and didn't go.… [ Read more ] [ Subscribe to the comments on this story ]
16. Cory Branan – Mutt It seems like every review of Mutt talks about there being this style, then this style, then another, and what they never say is that every song on Mutt is incredibly well written. Every song on Mutt is incredibly well written, I said it twice to make up for other’s neglect. Badman 15. The Sparklers – Crying At The Low Bar The review of this album generated a good bit of positive feedback. I was surprised people liked it [...]
In honor of A.J. McCarron's super-fine girlfriend Alabama's thrashing of Notre Dame, here is Alabama's finest doing Where The Devil Don't Stay And if you were like every other person in America, that didn't go to Notre Dame or has a copy of Rudy on Betamax, and laid the points last night; well then you got some extra coin in your pocket. What better way to spend it than on some good ol' Alabama boys. Cooley, Patterson and Isbell all have fantastic solo albums out now. Go buy them. Cooley [...]

I have much to say about Patterson Hood’s Heat Lightning Rumbles in the Distance yet I don’t know how to begin. I could tell you that I love the record but that doesn’t tell you much. I want to tell you what the record is like but all my thoughts seem to venture around what the record’s not. HLR… isn’t a rock record and it is clearly not a DBT record. It’s possible that there are more personal songs on this record than any other in the PH or DBT catalogue. There is a downtrodden elegance throughout HLR…, [...]
Mixtape: Hardly Strictly Bluegrass 2012 Mix (Podcast #287) By its twelfth year, you'd be forgiven for taking the annual occurence of the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival for granted. The passing of founder Warren Hellman in December, however, brought with it a reminder that tens of thousands of people didn't always flock to Golden Gate Park for three free days of music each fall. In fact, when one takes all of those elements - the large crowds, the no-cost attendance, the numerous off-the-dial performers - into consideration, the festival's continued [...]
