Drive-By Truckers是當今樂壇最獨特的組合和現場樂隊之一。Truckers來源于人物、地點和情境的創作與別人都不相像。而在創作的過程中，他們也建立起了讓人驚嘆的來自世界各地的歌迷隊伍。 Drive-By Truckers released several albums of gutsy, often ironic roots rock (1998's Gangstabilly, 1999's Pizza Deliverance, and the live effort Alabama Ass Whuppin') before settling down to compose their unlikely magnum opus, The Southern Rock Opera, a two-act, two-CD work based loosely on the history of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
