Brighter Than Creation's Dark is the seventh studio album by American rock band Drive-By Truckers.

Recorded during and after the acoustic Dirt Underneath Tour, the album features a more stripped down, and country based sound not seen since their second release Pizza Deliverance.

According to guitarist Patterson Hood, the band's decision on the name of the album was greatly influenced by the Freed's artwork.

"Two Daughters and a Beautiful Wife" is about Bryan Harvey, singer-guitarist for a number of indie bands, most notably House of Freaks.

The band rerecorded the "raging primal stomp" version of "Goode's Field Road" as heard on Brighter Than Creation's Dark in one take.
