At this late date, you shouldn't need anyone to explain why the arrival of a Wal-Mart in your town is pretty bad news for the well-being of said town. And as Billboard reports , a group of musicians in Athens, Georgia is doing whatever it can to stop the construction of a massive local development anchored by a Wal-Mart. The Downtown 13 collective is led by Patterson Hood, frontman of the Southern-rock-revivalist institution Drive-By Truckers, and it also includes members of R.E.M., Widespread Panic, the Futurebirds, and plenty of others. In their efforts, they've written and recorded [...]

The city of Athens, Georgia has always been known for its beauty and vibrant musical heritage. A plan by an Atlanta-based developer to build a massive mixed-use development anchored by a Wal-Mart has threatened to cut into the beauty and vibe that makes the city special. Patterson Hood has fought back by writing a song about the threat of a Walmart in the heart of the downtown that nurtured the band's career and assembled the Downtown 13, a musical collective made up of some of Athens' finest musicians to record and film a video for the tune, named After It's [...]
Drive-By Truckers ' honcho Patterson Hood is behind a new effort to protect the downtown of Athens, GA. Currently, there is a development being planned that would bring a Walmart to the downtown. Read more about the effort here . He's assembled some of the town's famous musicians to release the track "After It's Gone", credited to Patterson Hood & the Downtown 13. Aside from some of Hood's DBT compatriots, Sugar 's David Barbe, R.E.M. 's Mike Mills, and members of Widespread Panic are among the thirteen. [...]
I do love me some Squidbillies . In fact, I love everything about the show except that it's on in the middle of the night when my old ass is hard at slumber. Anyway, if you're a fan of the show, you know damn well that the music is dazzling. And not only do you get twisted original songs performed by the show's voice talent (Unknown Hinson anyone?), but the creators have somehow managed to wrangle more than their fair share of bona fide musical celebs over the years, including such [...]
Drive-By Truckers : 18 Wheels of Love [ purchase ] I used to be a member of one of those record clubs where you got a bunch of records for a penny, then had to buy a bunch more at full price, and it still ended up as a good deal if you knew how to play the game. I once ordered a CD from the club, and as a bonus, got a copy of "Decoration Day" by the Drive-By Truckers, a band I had never heard of. I [...]

Filed under: News , Holy Hell Getty Images/AP Photo Jason Isbell, singer and former Drive-By Truckers member, launched a Twitter feud with country singer Dierks Bentley last week. According to Billboard , Isbell says Bentley's new single 'Home' is similar to 'In A Razor Town,' a song from Isbell's 2007 solo album 'Sirens Of The Ditch.' Isbell raised the issue on Jan. 6 with a tweet repeatedly misspelling [...]
It all started when former Drive-By Truckers member Jason Isbell tweeted ""Dierks" [Bentley] has officially ripped off my song "In A Razor Town." Dierks is a douchebag" for Bentley's song "Home," a song written co-written Bentley, Dan Wilson and the Beaver brothers. Here's the basic sequence for you: So, there you have it. Listen to both songs after the jump and decide for yourself. [...]
I did a little playlist shuffle on January 1st to get a prediction of how 2012 is gonna be. A musical version of Tarot cards, if you will. 1. Athenaeum - Flat Tire 2. Bare, Jr. - You Blew Me Off 3. Cross Canadian Ragweed - Burn Like the Sun (Hmmm, seems like its going to be a rough start in the romance area) 4. [...]

To cap off 2011, the Alabama country band Drive-By Truckers had the pleasure of performing three headlining nights at the 9:30 Club on December 29th, 30th, and 31st. Properly kicking off night #1 as their first headlining act was Lucero , the Memphis country/rock band with a weakness for Jameson, motorcycles and the high-heeled women who love the same. Sold out far before the 29th, many pairs of cowboy boots had already filled the festively lit and decorated club when Lucero took the stage. On [...]
Happy New Year folks - sorry it took so long to post this... we needed some nice time off. I'm not really sure what to make of this year. We seemed a little distracted, more argumentative, and fragmented. While there were frequent pleasures, and the fantastic highlights you find below, the critical mass seemed often too quick to elevate inferior content to ever-heightening levels of indie-rock stardom. Critical gatekeepers seemed too willing to settle, to accept as "great" hazy instrumentals, bedroom producers lacking vision, and in general, the absence of sharp songwriting in the critical mainstream. For [...]
This year in music has been quite impressive. While 2010 gave us clear-cut, stand alone winners, it was much harder to determine which album was Top Ten worthy, let alone the best of 2011. Most sites have published their lists already, and while many albums appear on the same lists, the top ten varies greatly from list to list. Don't expect us to be any different.

11. William Elliot Whitmore-Field Songs : Songs about working and struggling and grasping to the only piece of fucking dirt that yours and some SOB trying to cheat you out of it. Thanks WEW. I'm taking bullshit handyman work over the winter just so I can afford to eat Burger King and drink a couple of Miller High Lifes every once in a while, so I'm a disciple of these songs. I wonder what the farmers in Iowa do in the wintertime to survive. Is the suicide rate higher then? He's singing about [...]
Why 13, you ask? Well, it's my favorite number and, conveniently, it is also the number of albums that grabbed my attention this year. Plus, I like the title of "Lucky 133 for my list. 13. Ryan Adams - Ashes & Fire . This is the album I've turned to all year whenever I've been in the mood to chill. Perfect for sitting back with a bottle of scotch. (Sound pretentious enough?) On a side note, Ryan did a couple excellent covers of my music idol, Bob Mould, this year: Black Sheets of Rain (Live on [...]
It's been a long year. Scratch that, it's been a veeerrrry long year. From social revolutions to the end of our occupation of Iraq, from the death of celebrities and dictators to a man who sneezes bullets and the mystery of planking, the world experienced a slew of emotions and all sorts of cultural and political upheaval in 2011. And that's not even counting the plethora of music news that had the blogosphere abuzz this year . So, as the question begs, what comes next? Well, 2012. If you were to believe certain [...]
