Drive-By Truckers - Brighter Than Creation's Dark

Artist: Drive-By Truckers
Album: Brighter Than Creation's Dark
Genre: Alt Country
Rating: 3 of 5


I've got to say that Drive-By Truckers managed to pack a lot of decent material into this album. "Brighter Than Creation's Dark" contains 19 decent tunes.

If there was one thing that jumped out at me while listening to this album it was how crystal clear everything was. At times there are quite a few different instruments and vocals going on but each one is pristine. You could really just listen to any song to see for yourself.

I must confess that I'm not really a big country fan but some of these tunes are quite good. That being said some of the tunes do remind me of a few rock artists. In particular, "3 Dimes Down" sounds like it could have been a Rolling Stones tune. Also, "That Man I Shot" is the type of thing you'd hear coming out of an early Matt Mays album.

All in all this was a fairly decent country album with a lot of decent material.
