The Drive-By Truckers have been known to defy genres, though their musical roots go back to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Spade Cooley. Armed with three guitars and their good friend Jack Daniel's in tow, the Georgia post-country quintet brought a new flavor to the Interface. Delivering unapologetically Southern-fried rock at its best, the often misunderstood Truckers unload four country-fresh tunes from their latest album, 'Brighter Than Creations Dark.'

Founder and frontman Patterson Hood spoke about the band's unlikey nod to Southern hip-hop on their 'Dirty South' album: "Some of the subject matter on that record was pretty parallel to some of the subject matter on some of the hip-hop records, even though we took it in a very different direction and, you know, made a rock 'n' roll record out of it," Hood tells Spinner. Throughout their career, the Truckers have had no lack of critical acclaim but have struggled to find their place in the mainstream. "We've always blazed our own trail and done our own thing, and I think that at any point in time that people out there who are looking for good songs that are played well go out to go out to a club, bar, and throw back a couple of drinks and, you know, have a great time," Hood went on to say. "Our songs are kind of dark and stormy and all that, but our show is really a lot of fun."
