Monday’s Hors d’Oeuvres

Major news from the Drive-By Truckers camp: Jason Isbell has left the band, and the Truckers will finish their tour with John Neff on guitar. Isbell was a big part of the band’s sound, and it remains to be seen how easily they can recover from his sudden departure. The band began and thrived before Jason’s arrival, and hopefully they can bounce back from the lineup change. The split seems amicable, but I’m sure the behind-the-scenes story will come out and remind us there are no amicable splits. For now, enjoy these links from around the Internets:
