In 1996,Patterson Hood gathered a group of friends and fellow musicians in Athens, Georgia, to bring his vision of a dream band to life. The Drive-By Truckers, as they named themselves, emerged as one of the most exceptional and influential rock bands of the twenty-first century, renowned for their electrifying live performances and songs that authentically capture the truth and complexity of Southern culture, often reduced to stereotypes.
Where the Devil Dont Stay, written by Stephen Deusner, takes a unique approach to storytelling by tracing the band's journey not through chronological order but through geographical locations. Deusner, a fellow Southerner, embarks on a journey to the places where the Truckers members have lived and written about. From Muscle Shoals, Alabama, to Richmond, Virginia, and finally to the author's hometown in McNairy County, Tennessee, Deusner explores the intricate relationship the band has with the South and the themes of class, race, history, and religion that permeate their music.
Through extensive interviews with past and present band members, including Jason Isbell, Where the Devil Dont Stay goes beyond the narrative of a great American band. It becomes a reflection on the profound power of music and its ability to shape and influence a broader cultural landscape. The book delves into the personal experiences and perspectives of the Truckers, shedding light on their creative process, the challenges they have faced, and the profound impact their music has had on their fans and the wider community.
In conclusion, Where the Devil Dont Stay is a captivating and insightful exploration of the Drive-By Truckers' remarkable journey, offering a deeper understanding of their music, their place in Southern culture, and the enduring power of music to connect and inspire.
