Drive-By Truckers was co-founded by Patterson Hood and longtime friend and musical collaborator, Mike Cooley in Athens, Georgia, in 1996. Together with a revolving group of musicians, Drive-By Truckers put out their first two albums, Gangstabilly (1998) and Pizza Deliverance (1999). The band then hit the road on a nationwide tour, resulting in a live album, Alabama Ass-Whuppin' (released in 2000 by Second Heaven Records, re-released in 2002 by Terminus Records).

After three years on the road a tight-knit group of musicians emerged. They began work on their most ambitious project, 2001's Southern Rock Opera. Southern Rock Opera is a double album executed as a song cycle. The album uses the rise and, literal, fall of Lynyrd Skynyrd as a magnifying glass for the cultural fall of the South as a whole during the 1970s. Southern Rock Opera, originally released independently on Drive-By Truckers' own Soul Dump Records in September 2001, garnered praise from fans and critics alike. In order to meet new demand brought on by, among other things, a four-star review in Rolling Stone, Southern Rock Opera was re-issued by Mercury/Lost Highway Records in July of 2002. Soon after, Drive-By Truckers were named Band of the Year from No Depression Magazine. A string of albums were released after Souther Rock Opera garnering the band more and more fans.

Relentlessly touring throughout 2004 and 2005, Drive-By Truckers somehow found their way to a studio to record A Blessing and a Curse. Released on April 18, 2006, A Blessing and a Curse showcased the band's ability to branch out into new territory and can be seen as the band's attempt at shaking any labeling by critics, detractors, fans and followers, particularly the "Southern Rock" label that's haunted the band since Southern Rock Opera. The album sounds less like Lynyrd Skynyrd and more closely resembles the bare-bones British rock of the early 1970's such as The Rolling Stones and Faces. In 2006, the band toured with The Black Crowes and Robert Randolph & The Family Band to promote the album.
