Patterson Hood's songs are thoughtful journal entries informed by his experiences as a Southern man who had left his home for the Pacific Northwest, especially 'Ever South' and 'What It Means.' Mike Cooley, as always the Yang to Hood's Yin, writes and sings with greater grit and Southern swagger, but he delivers some of his smartest and most eloquent work to date with 'Surrender Under Protest,' 'Ramon Casiano,' and 'Once They Banned Imagine,' all superb studies of the flaws of human nature. And while American Band roars less than many of the band's previous works, it still sounds like the Drive-By Truckers, carried by the guitars of Hood and Cooley, Brad Morgan's superb drumming, and Jay Gonzalez's evocative keyboard work... American Band is an op-ed column with guitars, and it presents a message well worth hearing, both as politics and as music.\u003cfooter\u003e-Mark Deming, AllMusic, 4.5\/5\u003c\/footer\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca name=\"SS\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited Deluxe Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Shadow Wave Color Vinyl \u0026amp; 1 Frosted Silver Color Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBonus LP of Live Recordings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdated Liner Notes by Patterson Hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepackaged with Archival Artwork by Wes Freed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"selections\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSelections\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRamon Casiano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDarkened Flags on the Cusp of Dawn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurrender Under Protest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuns of Umpqua\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilthy and Fried\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSun Don't Shine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEver South\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat It Means\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnce They Banned Imagine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaggage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide C:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKinky Hypocrite [Live 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuns of Umpqua [Live 2018]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilthy and Fried [Live 2018]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat It Means [Live 2018]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide D:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurrender Under Protest [Live 2018]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaggage [Live 2018]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRamon Casiano [Live 2018]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEver South [Live 2018]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"UMG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56666056786252,"sku":"880882643119","price":7.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/2913\/4412\/files\/atolp64311c__25099.jpg?v=1770367906","url":"https:\/\/vinylpulses.com\/products\/drive-by-truckers-american-band-deluxe-edition-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
