Murdering Oscar (And Other Love Songs)
Murdering Oscar (And Other Love Songs) is the second solo album by Drive-By Truckers frontman Patterson Hood. The album's songs were written from 1994 to 2004, and recording began in early 2005 in Athens, Georgia. ''Murdering Oscar'' was released on June 23, 2009 on Hood's own label, Ruth St. Records, and on ATO Records. The music on the album consists of noisy guitar chords and reverb on some tracks, while others also feature the piano. The album's lyrics address topics that affected Hood around the time ''Murdering Oscar''s songs were written, such as the birth of his child and his success with the Drive-By Truckers.
The album received mainly favorable reviews from critics, who praised it for being optimistic and mature in its handling of both positive and negative themes. Some critics also commended the album for addressing these themes in a compassionate and optimistic manner, and for being exceptionally personal compared to his previous work with the Drive-By Truckers. However, other critics criticized the album for being inferior to Hood's work with the Drive-By Truckers. ''Murdering Oscar'' peaked at No. 153 on the Billboard 200 Chart.
==Background and recording==
Half of the album's songs were written when Hood moved to Athens, Georgia in 1994, before the Drive-By Truckers were established〔 and soon after his previous band, Adam's House Cat, disbanded.〔 The other half were written in 2004, shortly after Hood's child was born.〔 However, the songs weren't recorded until 2005. Most of the instruments on ''Murdering Oscar'' were played by David Barbe, Will Johnson, and Scott Danboum, who had previously performed with the Truckers as sidemen (as well as Hood's father David Hood).〔
Jewly Hight compared ''Murdering Oscar'' to Chinese Democracy, writing that while Axl Rose "obsessively retooled Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy in 14 studios over 13 years, all the while stringing along the public with empty promises of a finished album," Hood handled his long-in-the-making album rather differently—namely, by leaving the album essentially unchanged from its recording in 2005 to its release four years later. Hood has attributed this delay between the songs' recording in 2005 and ''Murderings release four years later to "record industry bullshit."
