Drive By Truckers - A Blessing And A Curse (Black Vinyl)

Drive By Truckers - A Blessing And A Curse (Black Vinyl)Most of this album was recorded in a couple of weeks up at Mitch Easter's fantastic recording facility The Fidelitorium in beautiful little Kernersville NC back in August of 2005. We finished it, tidied up, cut a couple of extra tracks and mixed it back home in Athens GA at Chase Park Transduction. Most of the album was written around the time it was recorded. About half the songs were recorded within hours of being written. Thanks to our friend Danny

The release became an underground hit

'fantasy' emerges from lots of hands' hometown of Newcastyle upon Tyne

What’s another word for commentary

An album full of instant classics

but it’s no exaggeration to say that nearly every line sung on this record provokes thought in endless directions

woods was two years removed from his previous solo album with Blockhead

craftily smuggling in waves of sentimental emotion and clever pop songwriting under a veil of pulsing rhythms and scorching riffs

drummer DJ Johnson—had been on tour for nearly three-and-a-half years

her second full-length album with Double Double Whammy

the LP never overstays its welcome

In those years away from home

and places an emphasis on alien song craft and new forms of communion
