Music Friday: "The Wig He Made Her Wear"

I just got the new Drive-By Truckers album, and this song is one that stands out. As Patterson Hood relates in the liner notes, the song is about a homicide of prominent preacher in Selmer, Tennessee.

Click HERE to listen to the song via the album with no visual action.

Or click HERE to watch a performance of the song along with "Drag the Lake, Charlie." Fair warning: this link doesn't have the greatest sound quality.

Overall, I like the new album. It has lots of Patterson Hood songs with Cooley and Shonna songs thrown in. The new album, The Big To-Do, seems more cohesive than the last album, Brighter Than Creation's Dark. That album has some great songs on it, but then there are some serious dogs on Brighter...
