"Brighter Than Creation's Dark" is the eighth album released by Drive-By Truckers. It was released on January 22, 2008 in the United States. Recorded during and after the acoustic Dirt Underneath Tour, the album features a more stripped down, and country based sound not seen since their sophomore 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 "the ability to be good musicians". The album was released as both a compact disc as well as a double vinyl.

In Sweden it charted at #37 on the official albums chart.

The band has announced that they will embark on a world-wide tour entitled "The Home Front Tour" throughout the entirety of 2008 in support of "Brighter Than Creation's Dark".
