The New OK (CD)
Drive-By Truckers
Amoeba Review
Drive-By Truckers directly address the protests in 2020 with the title track of their new album, The New OK. The video is especially riveting with footage of the tear gassing of protestors in Portland as Patterson Hood sings, "We got mommies and vets taking fire...It's a battle for the very soul of the USA." While The Unraveling, the passionate group's album from earlier this year, offered an understandingly depressed worldview, The New OK moves on to productive anger -- plus a clever takedown of both Sarah Palin and Trump in "Sarah's Flames." The powerful set closes out with a timely cover of The Ramones' "The KKK Took My Baby Away."
