Gothic indiecountryfolk medicine show revivalists Blanche formed around frontman Dan Miller nearly a decade after he folded his earlier project, Goober the Peas. Looking back to early American folk music as an influence, he assembled Blanche during informal livingroom music sessions, with Miller's wife, Tracee, filling in on bass and vocals, Detroit area producer and multiinstrumentalist Dave Feeny on pedal steel, newcomer Lisa "Jaybird" Jannon on drums, and Patch Boyle on banjo and autoharp. Their independent release If We Can't Trust the Doctors caught the ear of V2 Records, which signed the band to their roster in early 2004. Their subsequent touring lineup was filled out by the addition of multiinstrumentalist Little Jack Lawrence, who filled in on banjo and autoharp in Boyle's absence.
