Page "Drive-By Truckers" Paragraph 17

After being released from New West Records, the Drive-By Truckers entered the studio throughout periods of 2009 and emerged with two albums worth of material.

The songs were divided between The Big To Do ( 2010 ) and the Drive-By Trucker " R & B Murder Album " Go-Go Boots ( 2011 ).

The Big To-Do further brought media attention to the band, resulting in their highest chart success, appearances on David Letterman and Jimmy Fallon's late night shows, as well as a scheduled tour opening for Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers.

During a performance on the Late Show with David Letterman in June 2011, the band played a cover of Eddie Hinton's song Everybody Needs Love and were asked by Letterman to play an encore.

Along with John Hiatt and English band The Heavy, they are the only musical act ever asked to play an encore on his show.

As the band's contract with New West Records expired after The Fine Print was released, the band signed and released The Big To-Do and Go-Go Boots on ATO Records.
