2006- "Heavy And Hangin" by Patterson Hood appears on the AthFest 10 Compilation CD

Drive-By Truckers

The Drive-By Truckers may be more important to modern Southern Rock than any band in the country. In 1998, Ghostmeat helped the Athens, GA band release their debut, Gangstabilly, on Patterson Hood's Soul Dump Records. The following year, the two labels worked together to release Pizza Deliverance. The two albums were later reissued on New West Records. The band (and Patterson Hood) have generously contributed to various AthFest and Ghostmeat compilations through the years.
