Drive-By Truckers: Welcome 2 Club XIII

Drive-By Truckers have announced the new album Welcome 2 Club XIII and shared its title song. The new track comes with a music video directed by Jason Shevchuk. Watch it below.

Welcome 2 Club XIII arrives June 3 via ATO. It follows Drive-By Truckers’ pair of 2020 albums, The Unraveling and The New OK. The new album gets its title from a venue where founding members Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley performed at the start of their careers. “There were no cool bars in town and Club XIII was the best we had,” Hood said in a statement, “but it wasn’t all that good, and our band [Adam’s House Cat] wasn’t particularly liked there. From time to time the owner would throw us a Wednesday night or let us open for a hair-metal band we were a terrible fit for, and everyone would hang out outside until we were done playing. It wasn’t very funny at the time, but it’s funny to us now.”

Drive-By Truckers primarily recorded Welcome 2 Club XIII at producer David Barbe’s studio in Athens, Georgia. The album features background vocals from Margo Price, Schaefer Llana, and R.E.M.’s Mike Mills.
