Drive-By-Truckers latest release reviewed by NPR

Very cool. NPR doesn't give a grade or a rating but the review is complimentary.

I like the album more and more each time I listen to it. There are no big hooks. There are no big rockers with the exception of "That Man I Shot." It's a little long (19 tracks) but the song writing is very solid. I've been listening to a lot of alt-country, country and blue/new/jamgrass music lately and this album fits right in with the best of those.

Nice. Seems they have been getting a lot of positive press on this release. Nice to see a band do well. Have you seen any numbers on how many copies they have sold?

Pretty well, peaked at 37th on the Billboard top 200 and 6th on the Billboard indie chart.
