Drive-By Truckers – “Welcome 2 Club XIII”
Long-running country-rock outfit Drive-By Truckers have announced the release of their 14 studio album, Welcome 2 Club XIII, coming in June. Along with the news is their album’s title track and a new video.
Produced by frequent Drive-By Truckers collaborator David Barbe and recorded live at his Athens, Georgia studio,
“There were no cool bars in town and Club XIII was the best we had,” Patterson Hood says, referring to his and Mike Cooley’s former band, Adam’s House Cat. “But it wasn’t all that good, and our band wasn’t particularly liked there. From time to time the owner would throw us a Wednesday night or let us open for a hair-metal band we were a terrible fit for, and everyone would hang out outside until we were done playing. It wasn’t very funny at the time, but it’s funny to us now.”
Hood continues: “Cooley and I have been playing together for 37 years now. That first band might have failed miserably on a commercial level, but I’m really proud of what we did back then. It had a lot to do with who we ended up becoming.”
