Tours of Note: Drive-By Truckers

December 17th, 2007 - by Eddie

News, Tours

There’s some big news that was announced late last week (Friday) about one of my favorite bands, Drive-By Truckers, the alt-country group with the “three-ax attack.”
According to their Myspace page, their new album titled Brighter Than Creation’s Dark will be released on Jan. 22. Tomorrow, you’ll be able to buy the EP which will feature the following tracks:

Two Daughters and a Beautiful Wife
3 Dimes Down
The Righteous Path (you can hear this on their Myspace page, along with 2 other new songs)
The Purgatory Line

If you buy the EP, you’ll be credited toward the purchase of the album next year (called the “Complete My Order Program“)

Patterson Hood also announced the dates for the band’s The Home Front World Tour.

And guess what? They are FINALLY coming to a city near me (I lived in Phoenix for 5 years and had to deal with them passing me by constantly).

If you want to catch up to society, check out last year’s A Blessing and A Curse. But if you want to hear the song that instantly made me a Truckers fan, download “The Deeper In.”
