Dallas, Texas, USA (1993 – present)
Old 97’s are an alt-country band originally based in Dallas, Texas, USA. The group formed in 1993 and took their name from a song popularized by Johnny Cash, “Wreck of the Old ‘97”. They describe themselves as a rock band with influences as varied as The Kinks, The Beatles, Pixies, David Bowie, Johnny Cash, and Merle Haggard. The band often performs country standards made famous by the latter two musicians, and has interspersed a number of these on their half-dozen albums over the last decade.
Old 97’s have been heralded as a great live band, although they claim to never rehearse their act. They included five live songs as a bonus disc on Satellite Rides, and released a live double CD set recorded at historic Gruene Hall in 2005, Alive and Wired. Singer/guitarist Rhett Miller has released three solo albums and singer/bassist Murry Hammond released his first solo effort in April 2008. Ken Bethea plays lead guitar for the band and playing the drums/singing is Philip Peeples.

Hey old 97's fans! Rhett Miller just released his newest solo album yesterday and everyone should check it out. It has some really strong tracks that everyone will enjoy and Rolling Stone is even calling it "his strongest solo set ever." Be sure to pick it up, and check out Rhett on tour this summer.

All you noobs listening to "Question" need to learn up on their whole catalog. Albums like Wreck Your Life and Too Far To Care are brilliant, these guys are good for more than just one song.

Their entire catalog is fantastic. I'd probably go with Too Far To Care or Wreck Your Life next, both of which I like much better than Satellite Rides.

are all their albums pretty equivalent to satellite rides and blame it on gravity. Because I love those and am wondering if I should check out all their other albums as well?

Surprised "Nineteen" isn't higher in the plays. I remember that song crossing over onto Top 40 radio a bit, which was quite a feat in 1999.
