Drive-By Truckers - Alabama Ass Whuppin

Originally released in 2000, Alabama Ass Whuppin’ stands as one of the most raw, raucous, and unfiltered documents in the Drive-By Truckers catalog. Recorded across a series of sweaty Georgia club shows during their 1999 Pizza Deliverance tour, the album captures the band in their early days, channeling a scrappy, punk-influenced energy that sets it apart from their later studio work.

Long out of print, this official reissue brings the album back to life with newly restored audio sourced from the original 1/2" analog mixes. Remastered for improved clarity while preserving its gritty, live-in-the-room feel, the release also features refreshed artwork that complements the record’s rough-and-ready spirit.

Often described as the most punk rock release in the band’s catalog, Alabama Ass Whuppin’ is essential listening for longtime fans and a fascinating snapshot of Drive-By Truckers before their rise to wider acclaim.
