The new album from Drunken Prayer is a snarling, cosmic gospel homage to the intense and sublime music of the church. The project was spearheaded by Drive-By Truckers’ bassist Bobby Matt Patton who cut his teeth playing in fiery Pentecostal church bands in north Alabama, and Morgan Geer who learned most of the hymns they recorded from his great grandparents in Mobile, AL.

Official release: 6/6/25

“On his new album Thy Burdens, he creates a completely new type of music on his own: Cosmic Gospel… sounds like a marriage between Otis Redding and The Band.”

– Klanderman Productions, The Netherlands
