1943 [Dewey Lindon] Spooner Oldham, American songwriter and session musician (Muscle Shoals), born in Center Star, Alabama

Every DBT album is outstanding and this one has a great recurring theme about dark sides of small town life and crooked preachers, revenge murder and those who just needed killing.

Patterson Hood said, "If "The Big To-Do" was an action adventure summertime flick (albeit with some brainy and dark undercurrents) this one is a noir film. Think Night of the Hunter only with some weird colors to it.



It's the album where we finally fully embrace the music of our original hometown area of Muscle Shoals, exploring the waters of country/soul and that mystical intersection between to two dominate poles of our shared musical heritage. It's also definitively a Drive-By Truckers album and an album that benefits heavily from the work we did backing up Bettye LaVette and Booker T. Jones a few years back."

Great artwork from Richmond's own as well, as always, Wes Sneed
