Features a brand new 2021 remix by Grammy®-winning producer, Vance Powell. Includes a bonus LP of previously unreleased 1998 demos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOld 97s are an American alternative country rock band from Dallas, TX, fronted by lead vocalist and primary songwriter, Rhett Miller. Formed in 1993, they have since released twelve studio albums, two full EPs, and have one live album. Their most recent studio album is Twelfth. They are recognized as pioneers of the alt-country movement during the mid-to-late 90s, along with Uncle Tupelo, Drive-By Truckers, Whiskeytown, The Jayhawks, and the Bottle Rockets. They started as a popular bar band in Dallas and caught the attention of Bloodshot Records, who signed them to record 1995’s Wreck Your Life. Their Bloodshot debut LP brought them to the attention of Elektra Records, who hoped that alt-country could be a new post-grunge trend. Most songs are written and sung by Miller, with bassist Murry Hammond picking up the vocals on one or two tracks per album. In 2005, Blender magazine ranked the band’s then most successful single, 1999’s “Murder (Or a Heart Attack),” as the 176th greatest song “since you were born.” Their music has been featured in a number of film and TV series, including The Break Up, Clay Pigeons, Slither, Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, Ed, Scrubs, Veronica Mars and Scorpion. Old 97s recorded three albums for Elektra, before moving on to New West and ATO Records subsequently. Rhett has recorded seven solo studio albums and one live album, receiving substantial airplay on alternative-oriented stations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOld 97’s are heralded as a great live band, although they claim never to rehearse their act. Their fourth studio album, \u003ci\u003eFight Songs\u003c\/i\u003e was recorded at Kingsway in New Orleans and released on April 27, 1999. The album is more-slick and pop-oriented than their previous efforts. For the release of this deluxe worldwide debut on vinyl, Run Out Groove had six-time Grammy® award-winning producer and engineer, Vance Powell, remix the 12-track album as the band originally intended; stripping off the slick 1990s-style production and sheen that helped the album get on the radio in 1999. With the assistance from the band Run out Groove are also able to offer previously unreleased 1998 pre-production demos on a 3rd LP that helps to round out the complete story of this classic 1990’s alternative country record.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Run Out Groove Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP | x3","offer_id":50481073062219,"sku":"1115527","price":47.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/f91ce58c-733c-428f-a41b-11438fcf58a8_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727532908"},{"product_id":"most-messed-up","title":"Most Messed Up","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn this most Old 97's-ish of Old 97's LPs, the hard-partying twang-punk quartet throw a 20th-birthday bash for themselves.

It was their major-label debut after the band signed with Elektra Records. But rather than venture into some state-of-the-art studio in New York or LA, the band decamped to Village Productions in Tornillo, Texas, a remote facility in the middle of two thousand acres of pecan trees near the Mexican border. The sound that the group captured on \u003ci\u003eToo Far to Care\u003c\/i\u003e has remained a touchstone for them. We've always held that one up as the closest to sounding exactly like what sets us apart from the rest of the world, says Rhett Miller. And so when it came time for the Old 97's to record the follow-up to the highest-charting album of their career, 2014's \u003ci\u003eMost Messed Up\u003c\/i\u003e, producer Vance Powell brought up the idea of returning to Tornillo. We knew instantly that it was the perfect move, says Miller. The result is the eleven songs of \u003ci\u003eGraveyard Whistling\u003c\/i\u003e, the eleventh studio album from the Old 97's. Knowing that he wanted to consider as many options as possible, Miller handed over a huge pile of songs to the band; they whittled his thirty selections down to eleven. It grapples with spirituality and mortality, Rhett says. Our songs normally hide deeper meanings in the subtext, but they re more on the surface for this record.\" The trick the Old 97's have held on to is to take a song that may have a darker theme and present it as something to be screamed along to in a club. The emotional range and musical scope of\u003ci\u003e Graveyard Whistling\u003c\/i\u003e also benefits from the contributions of some remarkable co-writers including Brandi Carlile, Caitlin Rose, Nicole Atkins, and Butch Walker. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP - Translucent Red Vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP+ - Translucent Blue Vinyl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ATO","offers":[{"title":"LP.","offer_id":50510403961163,"sku":"1004763","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50510403535179,"sku":"1004762","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50510404190539,"sku":"1004761","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/213c376b-80ef-4da1-bad3-fa3134743f3f_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727874037"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/old-97-s.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
