02-Drive By Truckers in Final Four! Signore Fails to announce album of choice...

As the Final Four gets completed after today, it is the coache's duty to name the album of choice for that artist.  As of press time, Signore has failed to name the DBTrucker's album, but most people agree it is their new one which was just released, "The Big To-Do"...
   Great win for the Truckers, they took on 01-Bruce Springsteen and outplayed them for a chance to go to the Big Dance....."I'm cool with the Truckers over Springsteen", clucked a jubilant Tony Signore.

The Big To-Do is the eighth studio album by the alternative country band Drive-By Truckers, released on March 16, 2010. It is their first album released on ATO Records, which they signed to after completing their four album deal with New West Records. The album was recorded over three blocks of sessions resulting in 26 songs, which the band decided to split between The Big To-Do and its follow up Go-Go Boot's. [1] The Big To-Do marks the seventh Drive-By Truckers album produced by David Barbie.




Bandmember Patterson Hood said that it is "very much a rock album. Very melodic and more rocking than anything since disc 2 of Southern Rock Opera."[2]



Guitarist Mike Cooley commented on the development of the album, explaining that because he didn't have many songs to contribute when the band started working on the album he decided to focus on "being a player on everybody else's songs while still trying to come up with my own thing." He continued by saying that for him, the turning points in creating the album were working on the songs "You Got Another" and "The Flying Wallendas."
