Hey there Snowbuns, how are things on the west coast (to paraphrase Interpol)?

Well the Wilco album is a 2011 release, so not really very new anymore. But it is the usual slice of Wilco-quality goodness...not quite in the Summerteeth or YHF class, but I like it better than (The Album) and just as much as Sky Blue Sky and A Ghost is Born. Hey, it's a Wilco album...what's not to like?

Drive By Truckers, well I'm late to the party on these guys so I'm not much help, BUT; my story kinda mirrors yours... really liked the 10 song sampler I got from a friend, enough in fact that I bought their acknowledged classic Southern Rock Opera, and it is great, rocking, intelligent, thoughtful really high quality southern rock with a punk attitude. I'm definitely going to dig deeper into their catalogue.
