Old 97's- Graveyard Whistling
In 1996, the Old 97 s recorded Too Far to Care. It was their major-label debut after the band signed with Elektra Records. But rather than venture into some state-of-the-art studio in New York or LA, the band decamped to Village Productions in Tornillo, Texas, a remote facility in the middle of two thousand acres of pecan trees near the Mexican border. The sound that the group captured on Too Far to Care has remained a touchstone for them. We ve always held that one up as the closest to sounding exactly like what sets us apart from the rest of the world, says Rhett Miller. And so when it came time for the Old 97 s to record the follow-up to the highest-charting album of their career, 2014 s Most Messed Up, producer Vance Powell brought up the idea of returning to Tornillo. We knew instantly that it was the perfect move, says Miller. The result is the eleven songs of Graveyard Whistling, the eleventh studio album from the Old 97 s.
Tracklist:
- I Don't Wanna Die In This Town
- Bad Luck Charm
- All Who Wander
- Jesus Loves You
- Good With God [feat. Brandi Carlile]
- She Hates Everybody
- Irish Whiskey Pretty Girls
- Nobody
- Drinkin' Song
- Turns Out I'm Trouble
- Those Were The Days
