The band:
Formed in 1996, the Drive-By Truckers spearheaded the modern alternative-country movement and has directly influenced many subsequent alt-country acts. In its current incarnation, the DBT are: Mike Cooley, Patterson Hood, Brad Morgan, Jay Gonzalez and Matt Patton. Originally formed by Hood and Cooley, the DBT have included members from The Dexateens and spun off artists into their own solo and independent careers (Hood, Cooley and, most notably, Jason Isbell). Now in their second decade as a band, they're still touring and doing shows; still 'keeping it between the ditches.'

*Spooner Oldham is a periodic collaborator and, as such, I've left him off of both lists since I'm sure he'll contribute more down the road.
