The Drive-By Truckers perform at 9:30 Club on April 29, 2023. There’s no questioning the work ethic of the Drive-By Truckers: Every time I’ve seen them perform, they go hard, and, when they’re not under time constraints, they play a long show.

It all kicked off around 8 pm when support act Jerry Joseph, himself a former member off the DBT’s, played a most enjoyable energetic set mostly from his very own 2020 album release “The beautiful madness” and backed up by …eh … The Drive By Truckers who were not so cleverly disguised as ‘The Stiff Boys’.
History is slippery. What gets codified as heritage and what is waved off as irrelevant to where we are now isn’t just about whose set of facts calcifies into the oversimplified stories we tell ourselves
When you tell someone you are going to a Drive-By Truckers show you get one of two responses. It is either, “cool, that should be an awesome show” or “they worth seeing live?” The answer to the second response is trickier than one would think.
