Patterson Hood

w/ The Downtown Rumblers

Alternative Country

 

Patterson Hood is best known as the leader of the Drive-By Truckers. Hood’s third solo record, Heat Lightning Rumbles In The Distance, comes September 11, 2012 on ATO Records. Hood co-produced the album with long time Drive-By Truckers’ collaborator David Barbe, who also plays bass on the album.

All of his DBT band mates make appearances on the record (Mike Cooley, Jay Gonzalez, Brad Morgan and John Neff) as does Scott Danbom and Will Johnson from Centro-matic and Kelly Hogan. Hood’s father, famed Muscle Shoals bassist, David Hood also plays on the record.

Hood originally started out writing a book that was a fictionalization of a very turbulent period of his life when he was 27. The book eventually stopped coming but the songs continued to pour out. Most of this album comes from a short period of time between February and June of 2011.

“With every note, with every song, Hood sounds like he increasingly, if modestly, recognizes he’s part of that great songwriting continuum, working hard to live up to his end of the obligation, as long as it takes.” – Pitchfork.com
