American Primitive

by Old 97's

supported by

Gary Lisker Thirteen albums in and they keep cranking out classic songs like it's easy. Also one of my favorite live bands. Favorite track: This World.

Inky I appreciate the big bell interlude on WTRG. One of the things I always loved in Oppenheimer.

smileyworld The synergy from the guitars, Rhett's voice and the tight beat make this and every other of their albums magnificent! I think it's about time you guys come down to Australia! Favorite track: Where The Road Goes.

about

The 13th studio album from Old 97’s arose from what vocalist/guitarist Rhett Miller refers to as a “de-evolution”. “As much as I want us to calm down and grow up, the songs that felt right for this record were mostly big and loud and brutal and dirty.” Produced by Tucker Martine and featuring appearances from Peter Buck (R.E.M.) and Scott McCaughey (The Minus 5) —American Primitive is gloriously rowdy, revealing a band more attuned than ever to the raw, reckless energy of timeless rock-and-roll.

1st time i heard DeathWish, i turned it off. felt rushed, not the Isbell i've come to admire. really grab'd me when i took time to listen on the 2nd try. the writing on these songs stopped me in my tracks more than once. raw talent with just enough polish in the delivery. thankyou Jason + 400 for another keeper swirlingmadness
