A double album covering an ambitious range of subject matter from the politics of race to 1970s stadium rock, Southern Rock Opera either imagines, or filters, every topic through the context of legendary Southern band, Lynyrd Skynyrd. The record was originally self-released on Soul Dump Records. The album was re-released on July 16, 2002 by Lost Highway Records. The album was financed by issuing promissory notes in exchange for loans from fans, family and friends of the band.{{citation needed|date=January 2013}} The album's artwork was done by Richmond, Virginia artist Wes Freed. Origin and making of the albumThe idea for Southern Rock Opera pre-dates the band's formation in 1996. Southern Rock Opera began in a long discussion between Drive-By Truckers' frontman Patterson Hood and former Truckers bassist and producer Earl Hicks, during a road trip. The pair discussed writing a semi-autobiographical screenplay about growing up in the South and about the plane crash that almost ended the career of the rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, taking singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines, and Gaines' back-up-singer sister Cassie Gaines. Soon after this discussion, Hood formed Drive-By Truckers. The Truckers recorded two studio albums and one live album during the four years between their formation and the actual recording of Southern Rock Opera. During these years, Drive-By's principal songwriters Hood, Mike Cooley, and Rob Malone continued to contribute songs to "The Rock Opera", as they had come to call it. After the release of their live album Alabama Ass Whuppin', Drive-By Truckers began recording what they hoped would be their magnum opus: Southern Rock Opera. According to Patterson Hood, "(the album) was recorded in Birmingham, upstairs in a uniform shop during an early September heat wave, with no air-conditioning. We had to turn the fans off when we were recording, and we worked from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. So Southern Rock Opera was fun to write, but we had a miserable time making it."{{citation needed|date=January 2018}} After the album was finished, however, the troubles continued for The Truckers when they ran out of funding for the immense project. To resolve the problem, and to avoid "any fine print crap", as Hood put it, the band took a non-traditional approach. The Truckers made a prospectus and solicited investors, with a promise of 15% interest, to pay for the manufacturing and distribution of Southern Rock Opera. The approach worked. Through their fan-based online news group and by sheer word of mouth, The Truckers were able to raise $23,000. This allowed them to print about 5,000 copies of the album, and buy a "new" used van for touring. Notably included in the group, dubbed "The DBT Investors", was Widespread Panic bassist and fellow Athenian Dave Schools.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}} Southern Rock Opera was finally released on September 12, 2001 on Soul Dump Records. Critical reception{{Album ratings| MC = 86/100[2] | rev1 = AllMusic | rev1score = {{rating|5|5}}[3] | rev2 = The Austin Chronicle | rev2score = {{rating|4|5}}[4] | rev3 = Now | rev3score = 4/5[5] | rev4 = Q | rev4score = {{Rating|3|5}}[6] | rev5 = Rolling Stone | rev5score = {{Rating|4|5}}[7] | rev6 = The Rolling Stone Album Guide | rev6Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[8] | rev7 = The Village Voice | rev7score = A−[9] }} The album received a four star rating from Rolling Stone. Rhapsody (online music service) ranked the album #6 on its "Rock's Best Albums of the Decade" list.[10]The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[11] Re-releaseThe critical praise for Southern Rock Opera created no shortage of buzz around the album and the band. The Truckers did not have the means to press the necessary number of copies of the album on their own. In order to meet demand, Drive-By Truckers signed a large-scale distribution deal with Lost Highway Records. Southern Rock Opera was re-released, this time worldwide, on July 16, 2002.
