Patterson Hood is not a man given to humble understatement when it comes to his band. That said, when he makes a prediction (or a Jesus pose during "Let There Be Rock"), he usually delivers. The latest is that DBT is plotting something "ridiculously over the top and cool" for a New Year's Eve show New York City's Terminal 5. The early buzz from fans is that the Truckers will play Southern Rock Opera in its entirety, but that hardly even makes the grade as speculation at this point.

To throw a little gasoline on the fire, however,  I'd say it has something to do with a new album, recent tour mate Tom Petty, and acolytes The Hold Steady. Stay tuned for news of a less reckless nature. [The Village Voice]
