Named Best Roots Rock Band at the 2007 Austin Music Awards, this exhilarating Austin-based alt-country-rock band is led by the San Francisco-bred husband-and-wife duo of singer-songwriters Josh Lee and Teal Collins. "The Mother Truckers . . . only needed to play their southern-fried version of AC/DC's 'TNT' to win me over, but they sealed the deal with rumbling country-rock burners, epic steel slide-heavy anthems ('If I Die'), and the tongue-in-cheek ballad 'We Were Getting High,' all of which showcased the magnificent vocal harmonies of Josh Zee and Teal Collins, who can belt out the twang with the best of 'em," writes Metro Santa Cruz reviewer Mike Connor.
