The Dirty South...

...is the new record from Drive-By Truckers, an uncomprimising Southern-rock quintet from Alabama. It's by some distance the best record i've heard this year and, having seen them live a few weeks ago, I can vouch that they're the real thing and deserving of your worship. Check out some streaming audio and video on their website at www.drivebytruckers.com

If you're in doubt, check out this review of their recent gig at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow from the Glasgow Herald: www.theherald.co.uk/features/46447.html
