    Any self-respecting DBT fan will enjoy this bluesy, grim and determined changeup. [Feb. 2011, p. 72]

    Despite the band's place in the alternative country/Southern rock movement, this album is still full of some yarns that should have never been woven.

    Go-Go Boots aims for a soulful, introspective vibe, but it ends up as the dullest album in the Truckers's catalogue.

I have been a diehard DBTs fan for about 10 years and seen them more times than I can count over the years as well. That being said I feel this is Patterson's finest hour lyrically and how his voice sounds on many of the songs such as Mercy Buckets, Used To Be a Cop and Everybody Needs Love. I have always been a Cooley guy over the years and still am overall. I feel his contributions are very solid due to the fact they are all three mellow and more country sounding.

I wasn't surprised to find out most of these songs were done around the same time as The Big To-Do. I'm assuming these didn't make the original cut. I can see why. Used To Be A Cop is a standout, but the rest are mediocre at best. After so many really great albums, I didn't think they were capable of a dud. Sadly I was wrong.… Full Review »
