The "Soul & Country Murder Ballad" album to The Big To-Do's rock blast – and who's to say that the Truckers don't sound better when allowing their mojo a little quiet time?

Either way, we get what we always get: the analogue rendition of a stick of Southern yarns, long on observation, short of syllable and rough as your old boots. As ever, output exceeds editorial acuity but, as always, it's a forgivable failing. Having said that, "Assholes" is awful.
