Drive-By Truckers - The Driver (Official Video)

[@ih8music]

Love it. I wonder how many bands trace their roots to long drives at night listening to The Replacements on 10....

[@richardmeseroll7292]

and referencing "here comes a regular", one of the best tracks the Mat's ever laid down - DBT are , tragically, music's best kept secret ...

[@hayesbbq5397]

Holy smokes! My favorite new song so far. Non-conventional SRO vibe with an edge that only one of America's best, long touring band could produce. Well done boys!

[@gregwoehler1028]

Hell yeah to that brother

[@oddballjake]

2022 and they’re still releasing classic DBT badassery. One subtle thing I love is the drum beat is a standard rock beat the first half of each verse (perfect, nothing fancy), and when they hang the grungy guitar hook on the second half of each verse, Brad adds one extra kick beat making a “heartbeat” sound. Then brings it right back into the 4/4 beat! Subtle perfection that serves the spooky grunge they’ve created! Keep it up boys and girls!

[@davehughesfarm7983]

Those drums are right!

[@terihansen9364]

Yep. Driving with joy is precious. Especially in Canada 🇨🇦. Thanks for this one.

[@terihansen9364]

To clarify, I love the snow tunnel when I have a destination! Thanks for coming to Ottawa.

[@davehughesfarm7983]

[@rogerskillin8385]

Just heard about these guys on Tennessee Brando's KZbin and came over to give it a listen. OMG... this is stunning! Love the Replacements name check. They came to mind earler in the song and then sure enough they pop up in the lyrics. I want more now.

[@chetthehoss]

Brando was the one who got me to explore the Truckers. He'd mentioned Souther Rock Opera, and The Dirty South albums specifically, so I managed to find used copies of them. I just bought three more albums today.

[@paulelliott3220]

Another blistering and darkly majestic song Going to be another great album from the mighty DBT

[@hermannmiskelly2759]

Fantastic show Saturday night at Huntsville's new Orion Amphitheater, especially hearing this new song live. Rock on!

Tennessee Brando sez you're the best thing ever. UK citizen here totally in love with America, so happy to hear you. You ever get to UK I be there.

This is absolutely brilliant! My first time hearing it, and I've decided it's already a classic.

[@mr.jazzbodkelsey58]

This song is badass!! I was just trying to find that talking song Patterson does at live shows sometimes. (About everyone in the band being sick with the "Kindergarten disease", and Cooley driving over a mountain pass in the snow, drinking Busch.) Can't remember what it was called. Then, I saw this on my feed and I was stoked!! 💣💥💣💥💣💥

Absolutely fantastic! His writing gives you a clear visual of the story. Wonderful video. Well done guys.

Windshield time. Therapy!!

[@Scott-DJ]

The riff is reminiscent of Heart's "Barracuda" and got to love The Replacements' name drop. Great tune.

[@davehughesfarm7983]

Also Tom Pettys the cabin down below and John Cash s version of Rusty Cage..Which is Tom Petty playing the riff.

[@jimkelly9524]

A Brilliant and Rockin song. Terrific lyrics and captivating sound and vision production 😎⭐️🎸🎶🤘🏻

[@Joseph-qq4ld]

Just saw the truckers last Sunday in Greensburg Pa. as always great

[@user-uo1qr6vn1q]

In my 25+ years as a fan of both bands, I never once thought of comparing Patterson to Gibby Haynes, or the Truckers to the Surfers, but that’s the first thing I thought listening to this song. Even though one is from Alabama and the other’s from Texas, both are big dudes, they both are/were frontmen for incredible, legendary bands with big catalogs and a boatload of former members. And Patterson did write “Buttholeville.” 🤔🙂

[@andresposse]

I got a Butthole vibe as well.

[@atrain5197]

I was going to say that this song kills, but of course it does, that's what it's about! To all the close shaves and to The Replacements and to life itself- Cheers to everyone of us! DBT are one of the few bands that give me shivers any more...

[@ericaveyandthehealing]

So... The video is awesome, the line about a "Honda full of girls" threw me for a serious loop!!! I can really relate to the sentiment of this one!!! I mean, after all, we were all 21 once.

Great Video guys. I’m always late but grateful when appropriate, and I am bc it is! Enjoy the music & political views of this band, not an easy combo to find anymore! Guess this is the only solid assurance now. Was easy in the seventies but most are afraid to take a side now…or can’t find a side? LoL I love these guys & their music. Play argumentative myself with Patterson if I get a chance bc I miss debates with my late Dad, who was a Republican until his mid seventies & asked: what will we argue about now? I laughed & said we will always have Adam & Eve ;) Dad was the greatest man in my life. Y’all enjoy these guys’ music too, bc they’re one of a kind.🎶 Of course that’s my opinion although I’ve still never met them & they don’t know who I am :)

I just had a vision, I just saw that if these poor truckers can not get fuel then maybe their trucks need to stop right where they are on the road , changing lanes and out of Diesel can't move anywhere . poor guys stuck on road changing lanes and blocking traffic , which they couldnt help doing as the truck ran out of fuel. I wonder if this happened across the country , will Deisel miraculously find it's way to the stations and even directly to truckers stuck on roads blocking traffic thru no fault of their own. these hard working people may find that in a condition like this that Deisel fuel will be found in abundance to assist them .and help these truckers out !. cc all.
