World Cafe Playlist for 04/10/2020

Drive-By Truckers join host Raina Douris

Last time the Drive-By Truckers visited World Cafe, it was the day of the 2016 election. Since then, their already politically-minded Southern rock has only gotten more urgent. They returned this past February to share songs from their new record, The Unraveling, which was inspired by the state of the world today and the challenge of discussing it with their kids. We’ll hear about the making of the album today, along with a live performance.
