Our Take

Old 97s have always been the cool kids of the Americana scene, combining twangy guitars with witty lyrics and infectious melodies. Their latest album, "Twelfth," sees them continuing to do what they do best, with a few surprises thrown in for good measure.

Opening track "The Dropouts" kicks things off with a bang, with frontman Rhett Miller's distinctive vocals soaring over a driving beat and jangly guitars. It's a classic Old 97s tune, catchy and full of energy.

The band continues to showcase their songwriting chops on tracks like "Bottle Rocket Baby" and "Happy Hour," with their trademark blend of country, rock, and pop sensibilities. It's the kind of music that you can't help but tap your foot to, even if you're not usually a fan of the genre.

But it's on the more experimental tracks like "Turn Off The TV" and "Why Don't We Ever Say We're Sorry" that the band really shines. These songs see them pushing the boundaries of their sound, incorporating elements of psychedelia and electronica to create something truly unique.

Overall, "Twelfth" is another solid offering from Old 97s, showcasing their versatility and songwriting prowess. It may not reinvent the wheel, but it's a damn good time from start to finish. So grab a beer, put on your cowboy boots, and give it a spin - you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Old 97's

In a world dominated by glossy pop stars and manufactured sounds, Old 97s have always been a raucous breath of fresh air. Hailing from Dallas, Texas, this alt-country quartet have been kicking up dust and turning heads since 1993 with their unique blend of twangy guitars, heartfelt lyrics, and infectious energy. Frontman Rhett Miller is a true force of nature, his whiskey-soaked vocals and razor-sharp wit cutting through the noise like a hot knife through butter. Guitarist Ken Bethea, bassist Murry Hammond, and drummer Philip Peeples round out the band with their tight rhythms and masterful musicianship, creating a sound that is at once timeless and utterly contemporary. Old 97s' discography reads like a roadmap through the heart of America, with standout albums like "Too Far to Care" and "Fight Songs" cementing their reputation as one of the most exciting and essential bands in the alt-country scene. Their live shows are legendary, with Miller's magnetic stage presence and the band's fiery chemistry electrifying audiences across the globe. Whether they're railing against the system on politically charged anthems like "Timebomb" or tugging at heartstrings with poignant ballads like "Question," Old 97s have never been afraid to wear their hearts on their sleeves. With a sound that is equal parts raw and refined, this band is a force to be reckoned with – a true gem amidst a sea of mediocrity. So raise a glass to Old 97s, the beloved misfits of the music world. In a landscape of pretenders and posers, they stand tall as true originals, blazing a trail that is uniquely their own. Long may they reign.
