Patterson Hood from the Drive-By Truckers. Killers And Stars, a record that Hood describes as therapy for a shitty time in his life, was not initially intended for official release (although he did press up a few copies to sell at solo shows, which he labeled "work in progress").Recorded in his dining room over a couple of nights in March 2001, Killers is stark and intimate, yet its raw, threadbare emotional core is somehow strangely soothing. Imagine the up-front intensity of Robyn Hitchcock's Eye with the twang of a young Steve Earle. Killers And Stars is full of quiet ruminations on the lethal underside of American public culture. Hood's ventures into the darker side of celebrity ("Belinda Carlisle's Diet" of "milkshakes and cocaine," the descent of "Frances Farmer" into madness) or alcoholism (Tom T. Hall's "Pay No Attention To Alice") veer much more heavily to the cautionary versus the celebratory end of the spectrum.  Get a free New West / RT exclusive cd sampler while stocks last.
