Drive-By Truckers take their 2001 rock opera out for one last spin
Briefly

"In the late 1990s, a double-disc rock opera about the post-civil-rights-era South viewed through the lens of the rise and fall of arena rock and Lynyrd Skynyrd was way outside the zeitgeist."
"It gave us something to talk about, besides how broke we were or how pissed off our wives were or whatever. We’d start talking about the rock opera... these rednecks are crazy."
"We started taking it out on each other, and we were just a bunch of miserable, drunk, redneck a--holes, basically, in a warehouse in Birmingham trying to make the record."
