Patterson Hood on the Drive-By Truckers' Southern Rock Opera and the true meaning of Skynyrd It doesn’t seem likely in today’s musical climate that any band would record a concept album about 1970s rock and southern U.S. culture.

happy 62nd birthday to #PattersonHood of the Drive-By Truckers, my favourite band

Here's my first interview with him, when the DBTs were still touring behind Southern Rock Opera

I’d never heard of exploding trees until @dbtph.bsky.social’s latest solo album where it’s one of two title tracks (the other being “Airplane Screams”). Backstory behind the song in Patterson’s own words from Magnet below as well as a link to the song.
