Welcome to Fenland Records!  

We are an on-line record store specialising in alternative vinyl. Great that you are interested in this critically acclaimed new album from the Drive-By Truckers.  

In the word of lead singer Patterson Hood:

“We are beyond thrilled to announce the release date of our new album ‘American Band’.

“These are crazy times and we have made a record steeped in this moment of history that we're all trying to live through. We've always
considered ourselves a political band, even when that aspect seemed to be concealed by some type of narrative device i.e. dealing with
issues of race by telling a story set in the time of George Wallace or class struggles by setting ‘Putting People On The Moon’ in the age of
Reagan.

“This time out, there are no such diversions as these songs are mostly set front and centre in the current political arena with songs
dealing with our racial and cultural divisions, gun violence, mass shootings and political assholery. Once again, there is a nearly even
split between the songs of Cooley and myself, with both of us bringing in songs that seem to almost imply a conversation between
us about our current place in time.

“‘American Band’ is a sort of rock and roll call to arms as well as a musical reset button for our band and the country we live in. Most of
all, we look at it as the beginnings of some conversations that we, as a people very much need to begin having if we ever hope to break
through the divisions that are threatening to tear us apart.

“Drive-By Truckers are celebrating our twentieth anniversary as a band in an election year where some people are trying to define what
it is to be American. Definitions based on some outdated ideology of prejudice and fear. We are loudly proclaiming that those people don’t
speak for us. America is and always has been a land of immigrants and ideals. Ideals that we have often fallen short of achieving, but it’s
the striving that has given us whatever claims to greatness we have had. That’s what America means to us and “We’re an American
Band”.”
