Drive-By Truckers Move with Two New Releases

     MUSIC NEWS - Drive-By Truckers (DBT) have been together making music for 13 years. The time has been well spent and has resulted in 7 critically acclaimed studio albums which couldn't possibly contain all of the songs the band has written.  So, DBT recently dug into the New West Records vaults, and with guidance from longtime producer Dave Barbe, put the finishing touches on a group of songs that were never completed. “For me, it’s been a fun stroll through memory lane and a chance to tie up some loose ends,” says Patterson Hood. The result of the collaboration is the new, Drive-By Truckers, The Fine Print (A Collection Of Oddities and Rarities 2003-2008), a 12-track album of previously unreleased and rare songs, due out on  September 1, 2009.   Also out this summer from New West, will be the Drive-By Trucker’s entire Austin City Limits performance as a CD / DVD set as a part of the Live From Austin, TX line (order the Austin City Limits release below thru MNN).

The Fine Print (A Collection Of Oddities and Rarities 2003-2008) features songs written by band members past and present, including Patterson Hood, Mike Cooley and Jason Isbell.  Seven of the twelve songs come from The Dirty South era.  Drive-By Truckers were on the Austin City Limits stage on September 26, 2008 while they toured for their last studio album, Brighter Than Creations Dark. A CD/DVD combination package with the entire performance will be released July 7th, 2009. The 13 songs, which were filmed in Hi-Def and recorded in 5.1 Surround Sound for the acclaimed PBS show, include a mix of new songs

from Brighter Than Creation’s Dark alongside the classics “Let There Be Rock” and “18 Wheels Of Love” (off their second album Gangstabilly) and “Marry Me” (from Decoration Day). The band line-up featured is Patterson Hood, Mike Cooley, Shonna Tucker, John Neff, Brad Morgan and Jay Gonzalez.
