espite the departure of Jason Isbell, one of their most talented songwriters, Drive-By Truckers' newest album, Brighter Than Creation's Dark has earned them some of the best reviews of their career. The band does alternative country as good or better than any band out there right now, including Wilco (there, I said it). Hailing from Athens, Georgia (and indie rock haven) and Northern Alabama, Drive-By Truckers know how to write powerful ditties about drifters and outlaws in small, rural towns. Firmly rooted in the country tradition, their music can be quite depressing, or bittersweetly uplifting. Plus, one of their vocalists sounds exactly like Mick Jagger. Score. They play Saturday at Revolution Live.
