About this product
Product Information
In 1996, Patterson Hood recruited friends and fellow musicians in Athens, Georgia, to form his dream band: a group with no set lineup that specialized in rowdy rock and roll. The Drive-By Truckers, as they named themselves, grew into one of the best and most consequential rock bands of the twenty-first century, a great live act whose songs deliver the truth and nuance rarely bestowed on Southerners, so often reduced to stereotypes. Where the Devil Don't Stay tells the band's unlikely story not chronologically but geographically. Seeing the Truckers' albums as roadmaps through a landscape that is half-real, half-imagined, their fellow Southerner Stephen Deusner travels to the places the band's members have lived in and written about. Tracking the band from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, to Richmond, Virginia, to the author's hometown in McNairy County, Tennessee, Deusner explores the Truckers' complex relationship to the South and the issues of class, race, history, and religion that run through their music. Drawing on new interviews with past and present band members, including Jason Isbell, Where the Devil Don't Stay is more than the story of a great American band; it's a reflection on the power of music and how it can frame and shape a larger culture.

Reviews
Stephen Deusner's place-rooted history of this restless Americana band helps bring the South into focus., [An] inventive biography...Rather than a straight-ahead chronological bio, Deusner takes the reader right to the places in the South that played key roles in the band and it's development...[Fans] will appreciate Deusner's history of the band, especially the early years, and the background on many of their songs., Deusner's book is essential reading not only for fans of the Truckers but for anyone wanting to discover more about these quintessential roots rockers., The best Southern rock band of its generation also gets the treatment it was long overdue in Stephen Deusner's terrific book about the Drive-By Truckers. Deusner's book is both a biography of the band - and talented songwriters Patterson Hood, Mike Cooley and one-time Trucker, Jason Isbell - but it is also something of a musical atlas, richly mining the history of Southern spaces like Muscle Shoals, Memphis, Athens and Richmond to reveal more about the 'Southern Thing.', [ Where the Devil Don't Stay ] is filled with wonder and wander...It's a book worthy of the band's catalogue, as essential in its way as such classic DBT albums as Southern Rock Opera, Decoration Day, and American Band., [ Where the Devil Don't Stay ] is a book Deusner was born to write...Deusner distills the Truckers' 25 year-plus history and then some into 296 pages., Deusner explains how [Patterson] Hood and his main Trucker foil Mike Cooley have battled to redefine rock beyond the Mason-Dixon line over the course of three decades together...Deusner's lively narrative tracks the Drive-By Truckers' evolution, picking through wrecked marriages, redneck audiences and the band's role in the making of Jason Isbell to show how the Truckers overcame a hasty choice of band name to fly the flag for a more nuanced take on good Southern manners., As brilliant and unflinching as its subject, you'll never look at the South, and southern rock the same way again. Highly recommended., [A] clever and engaging book...Deusner tours the South with the band as fully-engaged interviewees, visiting key Truckers destinations and tackling everything from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Confederate statues as he goes., The most brilliant decision veteran music journalist Stephen Deusner made for this book...was to structure his portrait of the band geographically, from Muscle Shoals to Memphis to Athens to Deusner's home region, McNairy County, Tennessee...[ Where the Devil Don't Stay ] offers as much cultural criticism and post-civil-rights Southern history as straightforward autobiography... Where the Devil Don't Stay approaches its subject with the same context and care as the band it portrays., Deusner's must-read book follows the quintessential roots rockers as they travel through the South and the ethos that has helped define the band's musical identity and evolution within it. Deusner...tells a story with verve and wit, and drawing on new interviews with band members past and present, he brings to vivid life the powerful ways music can shape a landscape., It's about time somebody wrote a book about the Drive-By Truckers, and what a book it is...[ Where the Devil Don't Stay is] a literary, thought-provoking analysis of the dynamics behind the band's artistry and its complicated relationship with the South., [ Where the Devil Don't Stay ] shows the depth of research [Deusner] took as he includes a discography, bibliography and an index of the places and names that extravagantly lace the story...Deusner gives the band a sense of place., Where the Devil Don't Stay is a masterwork in the musical biography genre...For the diehards, this book will feel like the first time you heard Decoration Day or Southern Rock Opera. For anyone who loves a good yarn and good music, Where the Devil Don't Stay is an essential read., [ Where the Devil Don't Stay ] is the book-length study Drive-By Truckers fans have been waiting for...This book is as complex, moving, thrilling, and funny as one of DBT's marathon sets., This is a book that you should read if you have any interest either in the Drive-By Truckers or in the current state of America., [ Where the Devil Don't Stay ] takes the complex work of a revered band in historical and social perspective...If you've enjoyed the band's music and want to dive deeper into their changing world, you'll enjoy this nuanced appreciation.

I was pleasantly surprised by how soon I received this textbook given that it shipped from outside the U.S. It was packaged well with no damage. The price was right. And I greatly appreciated the communication informing me where the book was shipping from and including a tracking number. Overall, a positive experience, - online shopping the way it should be. I've bought books from this seller several times now without any complaints and will surely buy from them again. Thanks a lot!

Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.
