Feb. 14th
Christmas and New Years seemed extra festive (if that's even possible, with an almost forced, heavy-handed nature that requires one to be festive.) with the Drive by Truckers posting a free downloadable track off of their forthcoming record, A Blessing and a Curse due out in April.
The track, Feb. 14th, tinkers with the Trucker's traditional sound, eschewing the usual three guitar stomp, and attempts a ballad in the vein of The Replacements, circa Pleased to Meet Me.
In fact, the references to the Replacements are numerous. Not only does Pleased to Meet Me contain "Valentine", but the Replacements former manager, Peter Jesperson, works at the same record label, New West, that will release A Blessing and a Curse.
The band are taking an unusual stance on file-sharing, this time encouraging bloggers and the like to spread it like a wildfire. Let it be done, and let there be rock!

That was a damn good review of the drive by truckers kronski. My name is Jake and I've been drivin OTR for the past ten years delivering to Walmart stores all over the Pacific Northwest. The truckers got me through some pretty tough times on the I-5 corridor and you're review of there recent album was pretty close to mine own ideas of how good this album is. Thanks from us truckers were glad that you enjoy country as much as us..
