Old 97s Fight Songs

Run Out Groove is going alt-country for its next limited edition, fan-voted vinyl release. The Old 97's, formed in Dallas, Texas in 1993, were at the vanguard of the movement that saw the spirit of traditional country merged with an alternative rock sensibility.  The onetime bar band was championed by indie labels Idol and Bloodshot before moving to the majors with 1997's Too Far to Care on Elektra Records.  ROG is revisiting Old 97's next and fourth album, 1999's Fight Songs, in a lavishly

old 97s too far to care

Was it rock and roll?  Was it country and western?  By 1997, Rhett Miller and his Old 97’s were, well, Too Far to Care.  As Miller recalls in his liner notes to Omnivore Recordings’ new 2-CD expanded edition of the band’s seminal third album (OVCD-45, 2012), his “little band from Texas…had only recently gotten folks to stop referring to their particular brand of music as ‘rockabilly.’”  The Old 97’s were subject to a major label bidding war in which Elektra Records proved victorious, giving the

old 97s too far to care1

Though 1997's Too Far to Care was actually the third album from Texan band Old 97's, it was an album of firsts.  The major label debut of Rhett Miller and his musical cohorts, Too Far to Care placed the band at the vanguard of alt-country.  It combined the muscularity of rock and the songcraft of pop with the traditional country sound on which the band had earned an Elektra Records contract, and led to performances in front of Lollapalooza crowds.  In celebration of the album's 15th anniversary,
