Drive-By Truckers: Brighter Than Creation’s Dark: Pitchfork Record Review

Pitchfork gives the new DBT record an 8.2. Not bad, fellas.

Drive-By Truckers: Brighter Than Creation’s Dark: Pitchfork Record Review

A tougher, smarter, funnier version of the prototypical alt-country gunslinger, Cooley’s in rare wise-cracking form this time around, unspooling quick-witted, sin-soaked vignettes of colorful loners and losers that hearken back to DBT’s pre-Southern Rock Opera incarnation as supreme underground redneck jokesters. “Bob” and “Lisa’s Birthday” are both superbly funny character sketches (sorry, no Leon Kompowski cameo on the latter), while “Self Destructive Zones” offers a head-spinning, sardonically knowing tour of the past 20 years of angst-rock.
