In February, the Drive-By Truckers kicked off their annual series of “homecoming” shows at the 40 Watt Club with a special, invitation-only concert where they performed their then-new record, English Oceans, in its entirety.
The show happened to coincide with the worst winter weather Georgia had seen in years. But that didn’t stop the band from taking the stage, nor did it dissuade fans from coming out. An upcoming concert film, titled Black Ice Vérité, documents the English Oceans performance, as well as the Icepocalypse that swirled just outside.
In addition to the film, the band announced it is re-releasing English Oceans as a “deluxe edition” with an additional disc of eight live songs. The whole package is out Nov. 18 via ATO.
