(ATO Records)
★★★★
RECORDED in 1990, Town Burned Down by Adam’s House Cat — Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley’s first band on their way to forming Southern Rock legends Drive-By Truckers — now gets its official release.
Remixed by David Barbe with Hood writing all the lyrics and re-recording the vocals, it’s a hard-rocking, raw and urgent album.
