Patterson Hood - Murdering Oscar (2009)

Patterson Hood -  Murdering Oscar, Ruth St. Records (2009)

  My good friend Doug put me on to this solo release from the Drive-By Truckers songwriter Patterson Hood .  Patterson is joined by DBT drummer Brad Morgan , Scott Danbom and Will Johnson from Centro-Matic as well as father David Hood.  This album shares many similarities to the deep south rock vibes of the DBT's, but has a personality and feel that sets it apart.  The sound quality of this recording is deep and rich and on a good stereo will sound raw and alive.  All 13 songs are excellent and this album was a great discovery.
