The Drive-By Truckers' Southern Rock Opera takes listeners on a
road trip through the American South, with stops along mean old
highways and soul-sucking swamps, iconic recording studios and
doomed chartered jets, and even Heaven and Hell. Along the way, the
Truckers attempt to untangle the mess that is southern history by
exploring the contradictory, dualistic nature of the region. Like
twin paths intersecting and diverging before meeting again, the
opera's libretto focuses on the lives of two bands: the fictional
Betamax Guillotine, a stand-in for the Truckers themselves, and
Southern rock gods Lynyrd Skynyrd. Rien Fertel takes us for a ride
along the Truckers' winding road through the opera's Southlands, a
region filled with youthful rockstar aspirations, fatal crashes,
the wreckage of one band gone too soon, and the ambitions of
another wrestling with the great hope and tragedy that is America.
