Solo Trucker

Patterson Hood is one of the primary singer-guitarist-songwriters in the excellent neo-Southern-rock band Drive-By Truckers. He's also a solo artist whose last record, "Heat Lightning Rumbles in the Distance," was a stellar collection of poignant, witty songs, all highlighted by Hood's warm and rough singing voice. Hood will perform this weekend in the North suburbs.

8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 19, at SPACE, 1245 Chicago Ave., Evanston. Tickets start at $24. Go to evanstonspace.com.
