Apologies for the title, but I did want to be catchy. Not to interrupt the latest struggle of "Obama and Edwards, who is Great? And who is Greatest?", but a great man just released a CD and said some wonderful things. Some things we should get behind.
Patterson Hood is one of the co-founders of the Southern Rock band Drive-By Truckers. Along with Mike Cooley (who has written some gems himself but that would be another topic) the Truckers have been putting album after great album out.
On their latest disc "Brighter Than Creations Dark" (released today) Patterson has two excellent anti-war tunes. On the jump you'll find lyrics and some more thoughts from myself.
