Old 97’s Sneak Peak
10 May 2008 in Events, Music, Random, blah blah blah, live gigs
This morning I woke up and felt a tingling that only means one thing…one of my all-time favorite bands has a new disc coming out soon…very soon. Of course, anyone with the same tendency to tingle for the same reasons is aware that Old 97’s have a new album dropping in a few days.
Blame it on Gravity (New West) ends the 4 year drought of new material, and by all accounts, ushers in a blast from the past that many fans have been praying for. They are hosting a CD release party at a regular haunt of mine in Dallas this week and I can’t wait to be there and maybe get a picture with Ken’s soul patch (see above)….
Adding to the excitement is that Rhapsody is previewing the entire disc for free. You have to download the player, but it’s worth it cuz they do this kind of thing regularly (oh, I remember when they did it for Kelly Clarkson’s last one….oh, the days….sorry, I…uh…what??).

I’m anxiously waiting by my mailbox for my copy of the Old 97’s new cd. I’m more anxious, however, to see a South Florida tour date. They are getting closer. The latest announcement has them coming to Birmingham Alabama. I guess, if nothing else, I could visit my good buddy Chip and see the show in Bama.
I am planning (as of now at least) to hit the cd release party tonight and see what cool stuff happens there. i am hoping they’ll bust out the axes and play a little….i bet they’ll add some more shows as buzz grows about the album though. they have added multiple date recently….
If you get an opportunity, slip in a little plug for South Florida or at least get a feel for if there’s a chance they may come this way. Another chance to show that “The Knob” has major pull in the Texas music scene. I got faith in you buddy!
