DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS The Athens, Ga., Southern rock band, known for recording in analog and pushing vinyl, has some serious North Carolina connections. A few years back, they settled down in Forsyth County to record their album, A Blessing and a Curse. This year they dropped their 10th album, The Big To-Do, and even with a lineup that seems ever-changing, it was the band’s most successful to-date on the charts. More than a next generation Lynyrd Skynyrd, when feeling boxed-in, they’ve shown they can do a whole lot more. $35.25, The Fillmore Charlotte, www.livenation.com
