NY Rock Confidential by Jeanne Fury
Score: 77
Brandishing three guitars and a soul-spanked rhythm section, the Drive-By Truckers brought the mutherfuckin' ruckus. Guitarists-singers Patterson Hood, Mike Cooley, and newbie Jason Isbell used their strings to wank out encomiums to the gods. Miraculously, some guy found the notebooks on the street in New York City, hunted down Hood, and returned them at a Truckers' show three weeks later.
