Our Take

The Drive-By Truckers have never been ones to shy away from tackling weighty subjects, and their latest album "The New Okin" is no exception. Packed with raw energy and blistering guitars, this record is a tour de force of Southern rock that doesn't pull any punches.

From the opening track "The Unraveling" to the haunting ballad "The Perilous Night," the Drive-By Truckers deliver a powerful mix of political commentary and personal reflection. Lead vocalist Patterson Hood's gravelly voice cuts through the noise, delivering poignant lyrics with a sense of urgency that is impossible to ignore.

But it's not all doom and gloom on "The New Okin." Tracks like "Babies In Cages" and "Armageddon's Back in Town" inject a healthy dose of dark humor into the mix, showing that the band hasn't lost their irreverent edge.

Overall, "The New Okin" is a triumphant return for the Drive-By Truckers. Mixing blistering riffs with thought-provoking lyrics, this album is a must-listen for fans of alt-country and Southern rock alike. So crank up the volume, sit back, and let the Drive-By Truckers take you on a wild ride through the heart of America. Trust us, you won't regret it.
