Drive-By Truckers Reuniting With Jason Isbell on Colbert to Mark 'Decoration Day' Box Set

The televised appearance underscores a new Definitive Decoration Day reissue that revisits the band’s early-2000s peak.

Overview

  • The Late Show With Stephen Colbert performance is set for Tuesday, Dec. 2, marking their first officially billed collaboration in nearly two decades.
  • The timing aligns with today’s release of The Definitive Decoration Day on New West Records.
  • The four-LP set includes a David Barbe remix of the 15-track album, a 40-page book with an essay by Stephen Deusner, and the previously unreleased double live album Heathens Live at Flicker Bar (Athens, GA, June 20, 2002).
  • Isbell was a member from 2001 to 2007 and wrote standout songs from the era, including Decoration Day and Outfit.
  • A prolonged reunion is unlikely, as Isbell launches an extensive 2026 tour on Jan. 14 in Durham, N.C.
