Drive-by Truckers - "Everybody Needs Love"

Well I have myself a new theme song, or anthem if you will.  If this record had grooves, I'd have probably worn 'em out by now.  Drive-by Truckers rootsy remake of soul singer Eddie Hinton's "Everybody Needs Love" is my new current favorite and it perfectly underscores the versatility of this band.  They can rock out, country it up, or go in just about any direction they so choose. The beauty of this band is that there is no pretense to anything they do or to the songs they record.  Musically and lyrically, they just seem to leave everything out on the table without bothering to put too much polish on anything.
This fairly straight forward cover song comes from their 9th studio album, the 2011 release entitled 'Go-Go Boots' and is helping to further build their already stellar and growing reputation as one of America's most important rock bands.
As always, I do recommend turning the volume up....have a great weekend and ENJOY!
