Changes In Drive-By Truckers
Well Jason Isbell is no longer in Drive-By Truckers. The two announcements online yesterday seem to paint different pictures.
On the Truckers website Patterson Hood has a long message about the split. He calls it, "extremely amicable" and credits the change to "a period of personal and artistic growth from all sides which has left us with differing dreams and goals." He goes on to wish him well and talking about Truckers news, including them going into the studio for their next album, tour plans and that founding member John Neff would be returning to the band full-time.
On Jason's Myspace page is two blog entries. One at 6pm that says "I am not in the Drive By Truckers anymore. Go figure. I wish them luck. I will not answer questions about it." Then a second one at 8pm "If I could change it...I would."
Be interesting to see if anything comes out of this. I could sit around and try to guess but I'd just be full of crap. I will say that it's really too bad that they're going separate ways. They were really incredible together. That being said I'm a big fan and can't wait to see the directions that two go in now.
For the record Jason Isbell's record, Sirens Of The Ditch, comes out on New West Records in July.
