Drive-By Truckers — Live From Austin TX

This 13-song set recorded for an Austin City Limits episode last September is available here in the same package as both a 71-minute CD and an 82-minute DVD. While the Truckers are an entertaining live band, they often overindulge and go on too long for some people's liking. The TV show helped rein some of the extended sections in and makes for...

Drive-By Truckers — Brighter Than Creation's Dark

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) January 22, 2008 8:45 pm
Last year's departure of singer, songwriter and guitarist Jason Isbell would likely have been disastrous for lesser bands. But these Georgian roots-rockers, quite appropriately, just kept on truckin'. Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley wrote the bulk of the 19 tracks, but bassist Shonna Tucker makes her songwriting debut with the somewhat ambient...

Drive-By Truckers — A Blessing And A Curse

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) April 25, 2006 12:35 pm
The Drive-By Truckers are one of the busiest bands around. This is their seventh full-length (plus, 2001's Southern Rock Opera was a double-album) since forming in 1998, and they live up to their name by almost always being on the road. The quintet's take on southern roots rock has earned them critical accolades, and they continue the same formula...

Drive-By Truckers — The Big To Do

in
By Ian Gormely (CHARTattack) April 22, 2010 3:45 pm
Drive By Truckers have refound their groove on eighth album, The Big To Do, after falling prey to a few too many genre tropes on 2008's Brighter Than Creation's Dark. Sonically, the raw guitar rock has more in common with 2001's Southern Rock Opera, but takes things on a song-by-song basis as opposed to that album's heady concepts. According...

We're also declaring a moratorium on alt.country today. This bloated set just made me feel exhausted with the pressure change and the rain that's going to come down any second.

Don't Call The Drive-By Truckers' Music Southern Rock

It's Friday the 13th and Drive-By Truckers co-founder and frontman Patterson Hood is in Columbus, Ohio gearing up for the first day of the last leg of the band's fall tour. But he's already longing for the end of the road. When asked if he's resting at home, the songwriter chuckles and replies in a southern drawl, "Shit, what does that...

SXSW Day 2: Of Montreal And Brakes Stand Out

By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) March 17, 2006 12:00 pm
ChartAttack's Steve McLean is in Austin, Texas this week for South By Southwest. Here is his continuing coverage, mildly soaked in free beer. After filing Thursday's report, I sprinted eight blocks to catch a paddle wheel boat cruise sponsored by SOCAN. A beaming Matt Mays walked up to tell me that he was on a high because he had just met Neil...
