“Drive-By Truckers perform with Jason Isbell at ShoalsFest 2026.”
“Inspired by the 2001 Ray McKinnon short The Accountant and the loss of the farm where he grew up in northwestern Alabama, the song sets the tone of the band’s 2003 album Decoration Day .”
““I thought that was a heated political time then when we made that record,” Hood says, reflecting on the division of the era.”
““ Decoration Day could come out tomorrow, and it would be as timely as it was in 2003.” But like the ShoalFest performance, the addition of Isbell is perhaps the most obvious difference between Decoration Day and the band’s three previous albums.”
“Check the Rolling Stones swagger of Cooley’s “Marry Me” and Hood’s “Do It Yourself” — a distinction not lost in the place where Jagger, Richards, and Co.”
“Hood, Cooley, and new arrival Isbell wove their tales of divorce, suicide, classism, and generational family violence and trauma into dark dramas punctuated by caterwauling guitars and biting lyricism that gnashed at the facade of post-9/11 American unity.”

““It’s a family reunion,” Hood says, pointing to the secret weapon of the band’s early-aughts classic era, who was fired from the band in 2007 and clawed his way into sobriety and then found success with his fourth solo album, Southeastern , in 2013.”
“Before launching into “Sink Hole,” though, Hood addressed the man standing stage right who is responsible for the third guitar onstage tonight: Jason Isbell .”
“Saturday night’s one-off performance at the Isbell-curated Shoals Fest in Florence, Alabama, is not only the first time Isbell has been onstage with the Truckers for a full set since his dismissal, but also the first time they’ve played Decoration Day in its entirety (the 2002 acoustic set featured on The Definitive Decoration Day box set has every song except “When the Pin Hits the Shell”).”
“Bush with a passion.’ I thought we’d hit rock bottom.”

““It’s happened over and over again, and I’m still writing about that stuff because I’m still trying to figure it out,” says the Truckers’ co-frontman Mike Cooley.”
““I’ve spent most of my life thinking, ‘Okay, give us another 5 or 10 years, or another 5 or 10 years, or another 5 or 10 years,’ and here we sit with the exact same issues with the exact same dying towns and the exact same things being neglected that have always been neglected,” he says.”

“Josh Weichman* “Y’all ready, motherfuckers?!” Patterson Hood flashes an exuberant, devilish smile to likely the largest hometown crowd of his career as he trades an acoustic guitar for his horned Gibson SG, an instrument much better suited to the menacing riff he’s about to play.”
“They couldn’t be worse than this — which scares the shit out of me saying that now, because how much worse could it get?” A month away from the midterm elections of Trump’s second term, the president’s approval rating has dropped below the so-called “Bush line” that marked the cratering of his approval rating to 39 percent before a blue wave swept Democrat majorities into Congress during the 2006 midterms.”
