Sometimes, a bit of tricky wordplay is all you need for a successful news item. Say you’re writing about The Strokes and you drop a little bit of poetry like “The band’s latest Stroke of genius is…” There you go - straight brilliance. But this is a serious, informative news item about Drive-By Truckers, and we would never think about referring to the band’s new album and tour with the following: “Drive-By Truckers keep on truckin'.” Seriously, that’s beneath us. As we may have mentioned in the previous paragraph (we can’t remember; it was a long time ago), Drive-By Truckers... read more

Found in: Music, NewsJason Isbell No Longer a Drive-By Trucker
Jason Isbell, one-third of the songwriting/guitar onslaught leading the Rock known as the Drive-By Truckers, is no longer with the band, according to a posting on DriveByTruckers.com. The announcement, by co-frontman Patterson Hood on April 6, says the “amicable” split “is the result of a period of personal and artistic growth from all sides which has left us with differing dreams and goals.” In a posting on his MySpace page, Isbell said, to the point, “I am not in the Drive-By Truckers anymore. Go figure. I wish them luck. I will not answer questions about it.” In a more elaborate... read more
