"I'll take all of what you got to kill this goddamn lonely, goddamn lonely love."
Disappointing news today out of the Drive-By Truckers camp. It appears that one-third of the band's songwriting/guitar-slinging core, the insanely talented Jason Isbell, is no longer with them. According to the official DBT camp, this sounds like an amicable departure. Isbell's MySpace, however, makes things sound a little more terse. Sounds like it may have more than a little to do with Isbell's forthcoming solo album and the rumors that he has split with his wife (Shonna Tucker, still a DBT member). Regardless, best of luck to all parties involved. Hopefully Isbell with go on to great success doing his solo thing, while the DBTs will doubtless roll on with Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley holding down the fort.
In the meantime, enjoy a pair of my favorite Jason Isbell penned DBT songs:
Drive-By Truckers - "Goddamn Lonely Love" (taken from The Dirty South)
Drive-By Truckers - "Decoration Day" - (taken from Decoration Day)
