"In two discs and twenty songs, Dixie's Drive-By Truckers explode the yahoo baggage of 1970s Southern rock in a roaring memoir of growing up white, loud and desperate in the former Confederacy. Southern Rock Opera deserves a fistful of stars just for the "Free Bird"-via-Crazy Horse squall of guitarists Mike Cooley, Rob Malone and Patterson Hood. But SRO also shakes with narrative electricity; Hood and Cooley, the main writers and vocalists, confront the contradictions of their heritage head-on." -David Fricke, Rolling Stone, January 2001 

You don't need a bottle of Jack or even a trace of Southern lineage to appreciate the genius of Drive-By Truckers' Southern Rock Opera. Without a hint of irony, the Athens, Georgia, quintet creates a fast-driving, hard-living tribute to the indelible music and legacy of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Like any good concept album, there's a loose plot and a consistent theme woven together throughout these 20 songs (loosely based around the rise and fall of fictitious Southern rock band Betamax Guillotine).

The lyrics are great, the trio of electric guitars is blessed with raw production, and the tunes will have you cranking up the album for your friends. After a few spins of Southern Rock Opera, you'll realize there's no going back. This is music that will change your perspective--if not your life.
