Nearly 20 years ago, genre-bending Southern rock outfit (and launching pad for now-solo superstar Jason Isbell) Drive-By Truckers got their first shot of mainstream success with an intriguing concept album called The Dirty South. Now, the group is revisiting that release on The Complete Dirty South. It's a release that frontman Patterson Hood is deeming a "director's cut" of the original work, featuring an expanded, altered track list and a few songs that are remixed, featuring new vocals or both. All tracks have been remastered by Greg Calbi. Updated artwork by the band's longtime artist Wes Freed (who passed away in 2022) completes the set.
