Call it Southern Rock, Alt-country, Cow-punk, but what really matters is that these guys are a great rock and roll band. The Drive-By Truckers have consistently been on best-of lists and yet they seem to struggle for recognition. Their sound is definitely reminiscent of Southern rock bands of old like Lynyrd Skynyrd, but its hardly derivative and the songwriting is top-notch, especially considering that it comes from multiple songwriters within the band. Their latest album is called Brighter Than Creation’s Dark and the song “The Righteous Path” is a great introduction to the band if you’re new to their music. Its got a driving beat that doesn’t let up and immediate lyrics that’ll paint a thorough picture in your head. Check it out:
