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.

cometdust I love the guitar & melody throughout. Rhett's passionate vocal delivery is on point, as usual. Favorite track: Where The Road Goes.

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.

bultitude Old 97's don't have any bad albums, but this is one of their best. Shows definite maturing and progression, while maintaining the spry twang and rock and roll fire of all-time classic Too Far to Care. Absolutely fantastic collection of songs.

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.
