Look at those adorable young men up there. That’s the version of Drive-By Truckers that existed in 2003, when the band released the classic 2003 album Decoration Day. Back then, a very young Jason Isbell was in the band. He was one of their three songwriters. Isbell didn’t write anywhere near as many Decoration Day songs as Patterson Hood or Mike Cooley, but he did write the title track and “Outfit,” so that’s pretty good. Isbell was a Drive-By Trucker from 2001 to 2007. Then he split, went solo, and eventually became a huge deal on his own. He still plays his DBT songs live. Now, Isbell will temporarily rejoin Drive-By Truckers for a one-off TV performance.
