Drive-By TruckersGo-Go Boots

Late-night and low-lit, this trades the three-guitar crunch for languid Southern-soul grooves, brushed drums, and gospel-tinged organ. "Used to Be a Cop" is Patterson Hood at his most menacing — a slow-burning portrait of a damaged ex-officer — while the title track loops through adultery and murder-ballad noir on an easy soulful sway. Two Eddie Hinton covers, including Shonna Tucker's "Where's Eddie," anchor it deep in Muscle Shoals. The Truckers' quiet noir record. Pour a drink and let it simmer.
