Pressed at Quality Record Pressings

Originally released in 2000, Drive-By Truckers Alabama Ass Whuppin has been out of print for years. No longer!

Alabama Ass Whuppin is the bands third album. For this reissue by ATO Records, the album has been re-mastered and includes updated artwork by Wes Freed, as well as 150-gram vinyl pressing by Quality Record Pressings!

Alabama Ass Whuppin documents a specific time for the band. The album was recorded from March 1999 through August of 2000 in clubs across the southeast including Tasty Word, The High Hat, The Star Bar, The Caledonia Lounge and the 40 Watt.

This was our third album and the connecting thread between our earlier work and the band that we went on to become later. Its a documentation of a period in time that I wouldnt go back to for all the money in the world, but Im proud of the shows that we played and the songs that we wrote, says Patterson Hood.

The band is currently in the studio in Athens, Georgia recording their 12th record. ATO will release the record early in 2014.
