The New OK is the thirteenth studio album by American southern rock band Drive-By Truckers, released digitally on October 2, 2020 and physically on December 18, 2020 on ATO Records.

Regarding the songs written during the tumultuous summer of 2020, Hood elaborates that "I wrote 'Watching the Orange Clouds' the weekend after George Floyd's murder as I watched the whole country rise up in a chaotic firestorm of anger and calls for a righteous change.

[9] In a generally positive review, Pitchfork commented that "The New OK is a chance to show off more sides of themselves, from the R&B horns of those Memphis sessions to the old-school punk of their Ramones cover to the more post-punk sound of Hood's newly penned songs".

Regarding the album's themes and lyrical content, the review concluded that "rather than bemoan the new normal we've all been forced to accept, the Truckers celebrate our adaptability and our fortitude, subtly promising there will be better days and more rock shows ahead.

"[10] Robert Christgau was less enthusiastic, highlighting the songs "The KKK Took My Baby Away", "Sarah's Flame", and "The Perilous Night" while concluding that it is "not a good sign if also no disgrace when the standout tune on the conscious album no one blames them for needing to make began its life with the Ramones".
