DBT!… DBT!… DBT!… my favorite rock band since GBV hung the towel over a year ago. The Drive-by Truckers return with their latest release A Blessing and A Curse. While I’m not as emotionally attached to this one as I was 2004′s The Dirty South, I undoubtedly believe this will add yet one more notch to the Trucker’s big-buckle belt establishing themselves as one of the greatest southern rock bands of all time. Long live DBT! Listen to a full album stream of A Blessing and A Curse and check out the album’s first track “Feb 14″:
