Artist: Drive-By Truckers
Title: Decoration Day
Released: June 17, 2003
Label: New West Records
Notes: The Drive-By Truckers were the 2003 Flagpole Music Awards Band of the Year. Decoration Day received three stars (good) from Rolling Stone magazine: "In the course of three excellent studio albums, Alabama's Drive-By Truckers have updated Lynyrd Skynyrd's legacy for a new generation of Southerners; the band's songs are for lovable fuck-ups who get fired from shitty jobs, then drink an entire bottle of Jack Daniel's and puke in their girlfriend's bushes. The leaner, softer Decoration Day finds the Truckers ditching the three-guitar rave-ups and concept-album narratives of 2001's Southern Rock Opera in favor of tuneful evocations of the darker side of Southern life."
