Now that the Drive-By Truckers have completed this spring’s The Dirt Underneath Tour, a sit-down halfway acoustic set, they are ready to bring the rock show back for a full fall run and a summer of dates with the Alabama Shakes.
The band is also currently putting its finishing touches on a special five LP / three CD deluxe live album with producer David Barbe, recorded at the historic Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco; more details will be available soon.
The Truckers will continue to perform songs from their entire career including the critically acclaimed album English Oceans at these shows, the band’s 12th studio release.
The first record fully co-written by band founders Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley, Hood says: “Every song on this record connects with another song. I noticed Cooley’s got a line in ‘Primer Coat’ about ‘apron strings,’ and I have the exact same image in one of my songs, ‘Hanging On.’ It goes on and on and on like that on this record, and that’s a pretty good sign for things, particularly given how different our temperaments are and our styles of writing are.”
All upcoming dates including those with Alabama Shakes are listed below.
