    "Southern Rock Opera" is the kind of record most bands don't have in them.

    One of funniest, smartest, truest, saddest and flat-out rockingest (in the very best way) albums I've heard in a very long time.

    Southern Rock Opera is a complex work, a cohesive text that functions as a Bildungsroman, a coming-of-age story; as an exploration of cultural issues that have defined the South; as an autobiography of the Drive-by Truckers; and as a reclaiming of Lynyrd Skynyrd's legend and music.
