Old 97’s return with Twelfth, their aptly titled 12th studio album, recorded this spring in Nashville, Tennessee between a tornado and a pandemic. Loose and raw, the record is an ecstatic celebration of survival, a resounding ode to endurance and resilience from a veteran group that refuses to rest on their considerable laurels. Working out of Sputnik Sound in Nashville with GRAMMY-winning producer Vance Powell, the resulting album boasts all the hallmarks of a classic Old 97’s record (sex and booze, laughter and tears, poetry and blasphemy). It also showcases a newfound perspective in its writing and craftsmanship, a maturity and appreciation that can only come with age and experience. Perhaps the band is growing up; maybe they’re just getting started. Either way, Old 97’s have never been happier to be alive.

The lads bring it again! I realize doubters are gonna doubt, but they can take a break. I went with 4 stars as only a few spins and it hasn't hit me yet, at least not like "Most Messed Up" or either "Grand Theatre". But it's kind of like Richard Thompson in that "another in a long line of great albums, what else is new" way, which really is meant as a compliment! Looking forward to road worked versions soon!!
