June 19-25, 2003 musicpicks Drive-By Truckers
Go ahead: Call the Drive-By Truckers rednecks. Slip their newest album, Decoration Day (New West), on, notice that it sounds vaguely like Lynyrd Skynyrd and assume they're a bunch of paunchy, gap-toothed yahoos. Meanwhile, they'll be out making time with your sweetheart and buying your friends drinks until they all forget your name. Like a car put together from junkyard parts, the Truckers' latest starts with familiar sounds and situations, but check out how "Loaded Gun in the Closet" turns from a standard-issue portrait of an abusive relationship to a far more complicated look at why people stay in them. It might not have the conceptual appeal of the band's two-CD Southern Rock Opera, but it's not bad for a third act. Sat., June 21, 8 p.m., $10-$13, with Marah and The Immortal Lee County Killers, The TLA, 334 South St., 215-336-2000.
