THE OLD 97’S GIVEAWAY
The Old 97’s debut in 1994 and its acclaimed follow-up a year later on Bloodshot Records established Rhett Miller, Murry Hammond, Ken Bethea and Philip Peeples as indie-rock’s favorite cowpunks. After signing with Elektra in 1997, the Dallas quartet recorded a trio of artistically restless albums that found Miller refining his emotional lyricism and the band tightly coiling around power pop arrangements. Rhino shakes its caboose with a collection of classic tracks from the band’s first seven years.
HIT BY A TRAIN: THE BEST OF OLD 97’s gathers 18 songs released between 1994 and 2001, including songs from the band’s first five studio albums, plus singles, live performances and a soundtrack contribution.
A majority of the songs on the collection originally appeared on the
group’s acclaimed albums with Elektra – Too Far to Care (1997), Fight Songs (1999) and Satellite Rides (2001).
