DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS - Too punk for Muscle Shoals. Too country for most other places. Too drunk, too often. Drive-By Truckers have forged on through lifestyle meltdowns, line-up turmoil and (at least) three divorces to deliver their uniquely lyrical blend of Southern Americana. Their fuel?

But as well as love, its mix of fey jangle and caustic confrontation also provoked disdain. As a new book tracks down those who were on it and where life took them next, the protagonists return to the scene of the crime. "The whole thing was completely hapless," they remember. "No one wanted to be known as a 'C86 band'..."
