    Premier Guitar met with Mike Cooley, Patterson Hood, and Jay Gonzalez of the Drive-By Truckers before their window-rattling show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Sharing a love of the odd, these players rely on unusual instruments to create their genre-blending sound.
    Drive-By Truckers cofounder Mike Cooley tours with a gritty boat of oddball beauties. First up is a stock Epiphone Flying V that has suffered some damage, but was glued back together.
    Cooley describes his Gibson Corvus I as a “bad idea from the ’80s,” but he keeps rocking it and has retrofitted it with a P-90 pickup.
    Two axes made by Baxendale Guitars of Athens, Georgia, round out Cooley’s collection. The warped T-style electric sports a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails in the bridge position and a Duncan Seth Lover SH-55 at the neck.

    I am big Fan of that Band, saw them twice in germany. Cooley's Songs gives me everything and he is one of my favorite Songwriters.
    They're so underrated it's a shame.
    But they never give up and played thousends Shows and never disappoint.
    Love them ❤

      ***** Exactly, I don't understand why people assume they don't get consent first. It's a show about people's gear. It's pretty much common sense that they would request to show the gear close up.

      @colinchristensen6603 Před 9 lety +1

      I was cringing as soon as he started reaching for it - regardless of prior discussions, John needs to establish with the audience that he's got consent by simply saying "you mind if I pull that out to show CZcams?"

      Compared to the new PG rundown guy, at least John knows a thing or two. He doesn't often just go grab someone's stuff, in all the videos I've seen of his, it's only been something that happened a few times. The damn new guy picks up every instrument like a moron.

      That's the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. It's called the Church of Country Music because it was a venue that was home to performances by Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Elvis, and countless other musicians. It was formerly called the Grand Ole Opry House and Union Gospel Tabernacle-it's a 2,362-seat live performance venue, and is best known as the home of the WSM Grand Ole Opry radio show from 1943 to 1974.
