It captures the shifting line-ups too, from founders Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley to the era when Jason Isbell was writing some of the band's most beloved songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZip City is Cooley at his sharpest, a tale of small-town longing with a hook that will not quit, and Let There Be Rock is Hood's funny, heartfelt tribute to growing up on loud guitars. Outfit, Isbell's song of advice from a father to his son, still lands like a gut punch, while Lookout Mountain thunders with dark, wild energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross sixteen tracks the stories pile up, full of bad decisions, family ties and the complicated pride of the South, told by some of the sharpest songwriters in American rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFunny, furious and full of hard-won wisdom, it is the ideal starting point for newcomers and a great way to hear how far the band travelled.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57351090045233,"sku":"607396588312","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/1200x1200bb_1be51bf9-743c-4e90-8661-df78809ed91e.jpg?v=1793976263","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/drive-by-truckers-ugly-buildings-whores-and-politicians-greatest-hits-1998-2009-2lp-clear","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
