Drive-By Truckers was first founded by Patterson Hood who was the son of bassist David Hood of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and longtime friend, his former best room-mate, and musical partner Mike Cooley in Athens, Georgia, in 1996. They also played in many different types of bands including Adam's House Cat which was chosen as a top ten Best Unsigned Band by a Musician contest in the late 1980s. After the demise of Adam's House Cat, Cooley and Hood performed as a duo under the name "Virgil Kane." After that they started a new band named ,"Horsepussy” ,(and this was before their splitting). Hood took a decision and he moved to Athens, Georgia and began forming what would become Drive-By Truckers ".
Drive-By Truckers after so much hard work release their two albums, Gangstabilly in1998 and Pizza Deliverance in 1999. After their s second release, the band decided to make on a nationwide tour, resulting in a live album called Alabama Ass Whuppin' and that was released in 2000 by Second Heaven Records, re-released in 2002 by Terminus Records. DBT uses internet tool for their promotion of band and music.Fans were able to find shows and information because DBT had an entertaining and informative website. That website got famous and after that many other bands also follow this technique, the band's online presence was created and is maintained by long-time friend Jenn Bryant and has been credited with helping the band gain momentum. Wes Freed was the man wo produce the band's signature style with his cover art and posters. This also increases the fame of the band as well as publicity of band.
