I'm as confused as you are

Twice in the same week, I know. The mind boggles.

Several times now I've wanted to share with my millions of reader a band for which I feel quite a bit of affection. Every time I try to write something I can never bring myself to post it because of some dumb reason I manufacture. I've decided it's because the quality of the band and the music is of such pedigree that I feel the need to write something on par with excellence; a task for which I generally consider myself unqualified. So I'm not even going to try:

This is the band. They're called the Drive By Truckers. I went to high school with/played in a garage band with one of the guitarists. They have a new album. It is very good. Finally, there is this song, which is the first song since "Sky Blue and Black" to bring me to tears.
