Drive-By Truckers Share ‘The Driver’ Single

Drive-By Truckers released a new single, “The Driver.” The song is set to land on the southern rockers’ upcoming album, Welcome 2 Club XIII, due out via ATO Records on June 3.

DBT announced Welcome 2 Club XIII in April and shared the title track. The Truckers offered “Every Single Storied Flameout” in early May and now follow with Welcome To Club XIII opening track “The Driver.”

“Around the same era of Club XIII, I spent a lot of time driving around late at night when I couldn’t sleep, listening to music loud and often having a beer or two,” guitarist Patterson Hood revealed. “Sometimes during those drives I’d have these epiphanies about what to do with my life – like listening to Tim by The Replacements not long after it came out and deciding to drop out of school to try and make this whole band thing work.”
