Drive By Truckers

My Papa used to say, “You gotta’ pay to ride the Train.”

(Woodstock, NY) - Radio Woodstock and acclaimed guitarist Warren Haynes (Gov't Mule, The Allman Brothers Band, The Dead) have once again teamed up to bring the fourth annual Mountain Jam Music Festival (www.mountainjam.com) to New York’s Hunter Mountain from Friday, May 30th-Sunday, June 1st.

Patterson Hood of Athens, Georgia's Drive-By Truckers recently took time to speak with the Home Grown Music Network about the band's new release on New West Records A Blessing and A Curse, their upcoming tour with the Black Crowes and Robert Randolph, the writing/recording process, love of vinyl and various other topics. The new record is the band's sixth studio release and seventh overall (including the live album Alabama Ass Whuppin'). It is their third album since signing with New West Records following the critical success of their breakthrough recording, the conceptual masterpiece Southern Rock Opera.
