Drive By Truckers - A Blessing And A Curse

The Drive-By Truckers sixth studio album release is A Blessing and a Curse the follow-up to 2004's acclaimed The Dirty South.

The set gets off to a rocking start with the Replacements-inspired Feb. 14, and is further highlighted by the rootsy, emotional Daylight, the Rolling Stones homage Aftermath USA and the reflective, six-minute-plus Goodbye.

Closer A World of Hurt, which features spoken lyrics from Patterson Hood, was inspired by the early 2005 birth of his daughter. 'It's about figuring out a way to turn the demons that can threaten to destroy you when you're an angry young man into something that you live with and maybe even do well with, and I think certainly that's been the case with me,' he said. ~ Billboard
