Download MP3 of "Nine Bullets"
It's a late Saturday night in a small southern town, and in a smoky, cramped
back porch room Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen and Paul Westerberg are
finishing their seventh hour of a vicious poker run. The smoke blurs the fatigue in
their eyes and the bourbon's getting low while the country twang of Georgia's own
Drive By Truckers serenades the souls of the drunken troubadors. Well, at least
that's what I see when I put this record on. These boys will put you on that porch
drinking lemonade in the daytime with Patterson Hood's 97-year old Grandma.
Pizza Deliverance begins with the anthemic "Bulldozers and Dirt," a song that's
as catchy as it is endearing. "Nine Bullets" is all country and balls, a song worthy
of Steve McQueen's blessing, a blessing the Truckers would deem nothing short
of spiritual - McQueen has served as a longtime inspiration for the Truckers. Drive
by Truckers are a great band, a band that writes sincere, sweetly affecting songs
about drinking, bizarre familial bonds, dysfunctional love, and yes, even the
president's penis. What more could you ask for? Surrounded by guitars, banjos
and mandolins and an honest country shuffle, Patterson Hood's raspy drawl gets
ya from the start. Pizza Deliverance just might save you.
For fans of:
Jackpot, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan
