Tonight: Drive-By Truckers


Drive-By Truckers, a band who has occupied that vaguely-defined space between southern rock and country for over two decades, bring their high-powered attack to Town Ballroom tonight. Are they an under-appreciated, Lynyrd Skynyrd-style group of legends, or just an above-average country band that you've kind-of sort-of heard of but never really got into? I'd argue for the former, but definitions are for dictionaries and get thrown out the window when a good band comes to play at Town Ballroom. Don't take that the wrong way: Drive-By Truckers are not just any old good band. They play old-fashioned, old school southern rock, but they are an outspoken, socially conscious band, which sets them apart from the current collection of swill that people call country music. Tonight ($30, 7pm) is going to be loud, and bold, and you do not want to miss it.
