First of all this is not an indie album! haha its country rock baby !!
cue the wiki description -
''Drive-By Truckers are an alternative country and Southern rock band based in Athens, Georgia, though three out of five members (Mike Cooley, Patterson Hood, and Shonna Tucker) are originally from The Shoals region of Northern Alabama. Their music is noteworthy for its "three axe attack," or three guitars as well as bass and drums.''
cool... now we have that out of the way, these guys have been going now about 12 years and deserve alot of appreciation. If your a country fan you will love this album, it basically to me sounds like nickelback crossed with Johnny Cash (very interesting)
'Get Downtown' is a personal favourite, its got a really upbeat happy country sound to it... its dead fun!! if you review this as an 'indie' album alone then you will bloody hate it... its not even close to anything out now. The guitars sound vintage and if someone told you this was made in the 70's you would have no reason to question it, timeless and a great album to take you on a Jack Daniels Binge.
A wicked album for Dads, Rednecks and truckers...but not the general UK music scene.
