Truckers release ‘English Oceans’

THE often-prolific roots rockers Drive-By Truckers took a four-year break from the studio before recording “English Oceans,” and the stockpile of songs pays off throughout the band’s 12th album.

Stripping away the R&B influences and musical explorations of their last few albums, the Truckers focus on guitars and a garage-band stomp on the new album — which also adds to the collection’s consistency.

The album’s opening guitar chords recall an old Replacements riff and would’ve fit nicely on the Rolling Stones’ “Exile On Main Street.” It’s a strong kick off to the rawest rocking Truckers album since their early days. But it’s the storytelling that is truly special.
