On Sept. 23, 2008, the Drive-By Truckers took the stage in Austin, Texas, for the long-running PBS television series Austin City Limits. In addition to being filmed for the TV show, their performance was recorded for a live CD/DVD, released the following July.

A little over a decade later, on Oct. 23, 2020, the Truckers' Live From Austin, TX will be released on vinyl for the first time. The remastered 13-song performance -- which included the Dirty South cut "Puttin' People on the Moon," which readers can watch above -- features a lineup of band co-founders Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley, original pedal steel player John Neff, former bassist Shonna Tucker and longtime members Brad Morgan and Jay Gonzalez.

In addition to the vinyl release of Live From Austin, TX, the Drive-By Truckers' full New West Records catalog is being released on limited-edition 180-gram colored vinyl on Nov. 20.
