American Band is the 11th studio album by Drive-By Truckers and was released during the tumultuous year of 2016, its politically charged lyrics reflecting those troubled times. The Chicago Tribune called it "one of the band's strongest front-to-back albums." Rolling Stone and NPR deemed it one of the best albums of that year. It is reissued here, in another election year, with a bonus LP of live recordings, updated liners from Patterson Hood and repackaged with archival artwork from Wes Freed. Shadow Wave/Frosted Silver 2 LP. Limited Edition.
