Patterson Hood joins host David Dye with Stephen Kallao

Before launching the Drive-By Truckers, Patterson Hood moved to Athens, Georgia and started handing out cassette tapes of some early solo songs to everyone he met. A decade later he rediscovered that early work and decided to make it the cornerstone of his album, Murdering Oscar (And Other Love Songs). On the World Cafe, hear the 2009 session where Hood talks about it, as a part of the Sense of Place: Athens series.

Listen to the session here.
