The Drive-By Truckers will release The Complete Dirty South on June 16, 2023, via New West Records. Originally released in 2004 to wide acclaim, The Dirty South explores the mean highways and dark hollers of what the band called the “Mythological South,” a tornado-ravaged landscape populated by bootleggers and small-time criminals, everyday folks just scraping to get by and looming icons like Sam Phillips, John Henry, and Sheriff Buford Pusser.

A project years in the making, engineer/producer Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket, Sufjan Stevens, Neko Case, First Aid Kit) assembled an inspired cast of musician and guests (Scott McCaughey, Peter Buck, Laura Veirs, Bill Frisell, k.d. lang, among others) at his Portland, OR studio, Flora Recording and Playback, as a Christmas gift to his father, Nashville songwriter Layng Martine Jr.

“Go ahead. Open it up. It’s a gift…”, suggests Jerry Joseph slyly in the opening seconds of new song “South of South”. Joseph, 61 currently resides in Portland, OR, a home base from which one can just as easily find him playing down the street as they could teaching guitar lessons to children in Afghanistan. Jerry is a lifelong juvenile delinquent specializing in all the things you’re not supposed to be doing and writing songs about it all the way.
