Song notes for DBT's forthcoming "Brighter Than Creation's Dark"
Drive-By Truckers' seventh album is due for release in January, and Patterson Hood posted a first draft of song notes on their website. This album, of course, is the first that DBT has made since Jason Isbell's departure. In an interesting twist, the Truckers found a replacement songwriter within the band, as Jason's wife Shonna Tucker contributes for the first time:
Shonna has been writing songs as long as I've known her. She always said that one day she'd bring one or two in for us to possibly perform. I kinda thought she was going to pull one out during the making of our last album but, alas, it wasn't meant to be. The week before we began recording the album, Shonna wrote The Purgatory Line and I'm Sorry Huston. She demoed them in her living room and played them for us when we convened. We were all blown away by what great and beautiful songs they were. A day or two later, she stayed behind while the rest of us went to supper and wrote Home Field Advantage.
