Another way of spreading news about the band was through the world on internet.

The band had an entertaining and informational website long before most bands had begun taking advantage of the internet as a promotional tool, and together with constant touring, they quickly developed a large and dedicated fan base both on and off-line.

The band had thus maintained their online presence for a long time. After three years on the road a tight-knit group of musicians emerged who began work on their most ambitious project of Southern Rock Opera.

The band gave strong a real life based story about the South American band of the 70?s namely Lynyrd Skynyrd and utilized their rise and fall as being a magnifying glass for the cultural fall of the South as a whole during the 1970s.

Such had been the story of Southern Rock Band. Before Drive-By Truckers could record a follow-up to Southern Rock Opera, they had run out of luck with two of the band members left the group.

However, even though with this crisis that came their way the rock band did not lose faith in them or in the work that they were doing. And with determination and full dedication the rock band kept going on and on until they met with success.

Every band goes through a phase of failure that drops down the morale of the band members to almost finish line. This was the case with DBT as well. But the members stayed together and helped one another to try to deal with the bad patch that had surrounded them.

In short they were a support and encouragement for each other. This is what makes this band different from the other band groups. Together they fought with the crisis and gradually made their way up towards fame.
