“Go-Go Boots” the latest album from Alabama natives Drive-By Truckers, offers none of the trappings associated with modern music: no auto-tuned vocals or synthesized beats, no guest rappers or emo-pleading. But in its very lack of state-of-the-art, juvenile pandering it may just be the perfect album for this time in history: a sometimes joyous, sometimes harrowing trip up side roads where friends and family are waiting, and down blind alleys where desire and rage boil over into murder and madness. The songs offer a morbid yet joyous meditation on the terrible choices humans face when hope dies, all the while keeping a small flame burning for the renewing grace of love. –JO
