Our Take
Ah, the Old 97's, a band as old as the dust on your grandma's vinyl collection, but with enough energy to light up a stadium. Their latest album "Alive and Wired" is a rollercoaster of emotions, taking you from foot-stomping country rock to heart-wrenching ballads in the blink of an eye. Lead singer Rhett Miller's vocals are as smooth as a pint of Guinness on a rainy day in London, effortlessly switching between crooning and belting it out like a proper rockstar. Guitarist Ken Bethea shreds like a madman, giving each song that extra edge that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Tracks like "Timebomb" and "Doreen" will have you tapping your foot and nodding your head along uncontrollably, while "Barrier Reef" and "Valentine" will have you reaching for a tissue to wipe away the tears. The Old 97's know how to tug at your heartstrings and get your feet moving at the same time, a rare talent in today's music scene. Overall, "Alive and Wired" is a delightful mix of twangy guitars, heartfelt lyrics, and infectious energy that will have you coming back for more. So grab yourself a cuppa, put on your dancing shoes, and let the Old 97's take you on a wild ride through the countryside of Americana music. Cheers, mates!
