It seems simplest to understand Patterson Hood as the director/producer of low-budget films, which is maybe what he thought he was doing when this all started. Each is released in album form under the name Drive-By Truckers and features a closely held assortment of friends and combatants. Ten of those, so far, going back to 1998's Gangstabilly, plus two more under Hood's own name, have delighted the critics and enthralled fans. Each release is filled with carefully told, fiercely rendered short subjects and rootsy, cinematic songs. D-BT headline this second leg of Chicago Bluegrass and Blues; see the full lineup, including Dawes, Joe Pug, Van Ghost, and others, here.
