Columns

Righteous Paths

The Drive-By Truckers' live shows once played like a songwriters-in-the-round session with electric guitars and increasingly empty bottles of Jack Daniels. Then Jason Isbell came along -- and it only got better. [9 June 2008]

Drive-By Truckers: 19 March 2008 - Toronto

Drive-By Truckers: A Blessing and a Curse

A Blessing and a Curse continues to distance itself from the Truckers' "Lynyrd Skynyrd with a higher IQ" roots, drawing from both the Replacements and the Rolling Stones for its rock 'n' roll sound. [14 April 2006]

Drive-By Truckers: 23 September 2005 - Austin, TX

Drive-By Truckers

A warning for the By-curious. No smoke machines or fancy lights here, just two hours of solid, ass-kicking music. Sorry. [19 January 2005]

Drive-By Truckers: Decoration Day

Nobody writes and plays such honest, thoughtful, loud rock ‘n’ roll as these guys do, and with this, their fifth album, you get the feeling that they’ve only just gotten started.
