They signed a new deal with Austin-based record label New West, Drive-By Truckers and they set about recording the follow-up to Southern Rock Opera. Their predecessors are praised by many people. It was another concept album, containing characters which are faced with hard decisions about marriage, incest, break-ups, revenge, murder, and suicide.
Hick left the Drive by trucker in 2003 after working with them (He was one of the oldest member in the band). Shonna Tucker joined the band immediately Hick, then wife of guitarist Jason Isbell. Tucker had previously guessed on Decoration Day playing upright bass on the Cooley-penned track, "Sounds Better in the Song".
In 2004, they bring their album the Dirty South. The Dirty South further explored the mythology of the South, with songs focusing on Sam Phillips and Sun Records, John Henry, and a three-song suite about Sheriff Buford Pusser.
After touring throughout 2004 and 2005, Drive-By Truckers found their way to the Fidelitorium Recording Studio in Forsyth County, North Carolina during late 2005. David Barbe produce their recordings, resulted in the band's seventh LP, A Blessing and a Curse. Released on April 18, 2006, A Blessing and a Curse showcased Drive-By Truckers' ability to branch out into new territory, and can be seen as the band's attempt at shaking labeling by critics, detractors, fans, and followers, particularly the Southern rock label that has haunted the band since Southern Rock Opera. The album sounds less like Lynyrd Skynyrd, and it seems to similar to the bare-bones British rock produce in 1970s such as The Rolling Stones and Faces. Tom Petty, Blue Öyster Cult, and Neil Young's influence on the band's sound is more prominent on this album as well.
After Isbell left the band in 2009, Drive-By Truckers released a collection of b-sides and rarities entitled The Fine Print: A Collection of Oddities and Rarities which were recorded during the Decoration Day and Dirty South sessions and includes tracks by the departed Jason Isbell.
