Product Details

Brighter Than Creation's Dark arrived in 2008 as a high-water mark for the Southern rock storytelling that Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley had been honing since the Truckers' earliest days in Muscle Shoals. With both writers firing on all cylinders across 19 tracks, the album gave Jason Isbell some of his final contributions to the band's catalog before his departure, making it a document of a particular and unrepeatable lineup.

Brighter Than Creations dark is back in print and pressed on Crystal Amber color vinyl. The bands 19-song epic is one of their most expansive albums in length and sound. Recorded during and after the acoustic Dirt Underneath Tour, the album features a more stripped-down, country-based sound not seen since their second release, Pizza Deliverance. The album's title is taken from a line in a Mike Cooley song entitled "Checkout Time in Vegas". Wes Freed once again provided the album artwork. According to guitarist Patterson Hood, the band's decision on the name of the album was greatly influenced by the Freed's artwork. Hood also said that the album was recorded with much ease and did not require compromises.
