American Band

Description

The quintet is back with their most politically charged album yet! The quintet from Athens, Georgia has always considered itself a political band since its formation in 1996 and throughout its lineup changes, but their latest work—the band's 11th album—*American Band* is undoubtedly their most committed. The band's two main songwriters, singer-guitarists Mike Cooley and Patterson Hood, surrounded by Matt Parson (bass), Jay Gonzalez (keyboards, multi-instrumentalist), and Brad Morgan (drums), deliver their country-infused Southern rock with even greater conviction! Recorded with David Barbe (Deerhunter, Greg Allman), the album also draws its power from the unity of this band—DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS' longest unchanged lineup—which is producing its third album in this configuration! Inspired, among others, by the spirit of Kendrick Lamar's *To Pimp A Butterfly*, Cooley and Hood address burning issues such as racism, income inequality, the NRA, and Islamophobia in *American Band*, unfurling stadium-ready protest songs in their signature style!
