{"product_id":"drive-by-truckers-southern-rock-opera-deluxe-edition-3lp","title":"Drive-By Truckers - Southern Rock Opera (Deluxe Edition) [3LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrive-By Truckers' Southern Rock Opera returns as a three-record Deluxe Edition in a gatefold jacket, with a bonus LP and a companion book that dig deep into the album that made their name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst released in 2001, this sprawling double concept record follows a fictional Alabama band through rock and roll dreams, regional pride and the tragedy of Lynyrd Skynyrd's 1977 plane crash. Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley wrestled with what it means to love the South while staring hard at its contradictions, and the result became a landmark of alternative country and Southern rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDays of Graduation opens with a spoken story that sets the cinematic tone before Ronnie and Neil tackles the famous Skynyrd and Neil Young back-and-forth with real affection. Let There Be Rock is a gloriously sloppy coming-of-age anthem, all teenage concert memories and cranked amps, and Zip City barrels along on Cooley's wry, twangy storytelling. The three-guitar attack is loud, loose and utterly committed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bonus record adds extra material from the era, and the book offers a closer look at how this ambitious project came together. For fans who wore out the original, this is the definitive way to revisit it. For newcomers, it is the perfect place to start.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57439074648369,"sku":"607396583119","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Drive-By_Truckers-Southern_Rock_Opera_Deluxe_Edition_3LP_5b63033f-f172-4cd3-9987-448030448c78.jpg?v=1794152599","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/drive-by-truckers-southern-rock-opera-deluxe-edition-3lp","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
