Drive-By Truckers’ leader Patterson Hood will soon release a new solo LP, Heat Lightning Rumbles In The Distance. The album’s first single, Come Back Little Star, can be streamed now via Rolling Stone. Hood told Rolling Stone: “[Kelly Hogan] began the lyrics as a song for our late, dear friend Vic Chesnutt, and I rewrote it with the intention of her recording it for her album. She ended up letting me put it on my album and it’s a highlight to me….It may be my favorite song I’ve ever recorded.” We’re not going to disagree with Hood, though there is a lot of stiff competition within Hood’s fine song collection. Come Back Little Star can be streamed HERE.
