Start herePicked by a lifelong record collector

An ambitious double-album meditation on the American South. Bold and acclaimed. Their masterpiece. Released in 2001, it's an early landmark for Drive-By Truckers.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
