Drive-By Truckers took a sharp turn with A Blessing and a Curse, the 2006 album that traded some of their Southern rock sprawl for tighter songs and a harder classic-rock bite.
Their sixth studio record, produced by David Barbe at the Fidelitorium in Kernersville, North Carolina, came together fast, with around half the songs cut within hours of being written. It was also the last Truckers album to feature Jason Isbell, who left the following spring, which gives his contributions extra weight in hindsight. Patterson Hood has described the sessions as a search for common ground at a time when it was hard to find, and that tension crackles through the grooves.
All three songwriters get their moment. Mike Cooley's "Gravity's Gone" struts along on a loose-limbed riff and his trademark dry wit, while Isbell's "Easy on Yourself" and "Daylight" show the melodic instincts that would soon power his solo career. Hood's title track sums up the album's push and pull, restless and reflective at once. The guitars are leaner, the mixes punchier, and Shonna Tucker and Brad Morgan keep everything anchored.
Long considered the band's most divisive record, it rewards anyone who likes their rock with rough edges and an honest heart. Play it loud and let the guitars do the arguing.
