For 15 years, Dallass Old 97s have been blasting out the alt-country tunes, triumphing all over North America. Theyve had a remarkably successful career at least critically and their winning streak wont end with their eighth record. The follow-up to 2004s Drag It Up is a lively rock and roll affair, to say the least.
The disc has plenty of amped-up, distortion-filled moments (Ride, The Easy Way), but the band throws in more than few twangy, laid-back tracks (She Loves The Sunset, The Beautiful Thing). Infectious tunes and, most important, variety, make this another great disc in the bands solid career.
