2015 highlight of the year
Drive-By Truckers releasing a mammoth 5LP/35-track live box set. It's such a perfect encapsulation of where they've been and where they are. And it makes me even more excited than I already was about wherever they go next.
prediction for 2016
Another year where I feel like I don't hear or see half of the amazing things on offer. We're in a golden age and everything is so immediately accessible, it can be a little overwhelming trying to decide what to see and hear first. The options are only gonna grow.
