Free Music Review: Stands on It's Own
Hit: 4 Stars
I never thought I was guilty of this, but today I realized it. I couldn't listen Drag It Up without immediately comparing to classics like Too Far to Care and Satellite Rides or even the pop gems Fight Songs and Rhett's solo The Instigator. But, alas I did.
Drag It Up is a much more somber affair than any of the Old 97's previous albums and reverts back to the country stylizings of their older records rather push further into the pop arena. However, they still manage ro produce a fairly solidly sounding album (I think the non-Rhett songs don't hold up quite as well). It might be better to listen to after midnight. If you want a powerful energy boost, listen to the raving rock of Too Far to Care, but if your in the mood for well put together melancholy alt. country this is your ticket.
If you can you should really catch these guys live, the versions of these songs live are awesome particularly "Won't Be Home".
Drag It Up Poster
The Old 97's suggested they were ready to abandon their bittersweet Americana sound with their previous album, 2001's power-pop heavy Satellite Rides. But the Dallas, Texas band's sixth release sees them once again digging into soft pedal-steel guitars, rolling pianos, and relaxed southern rhythms. How could they not? It's clear they are genuinely in love with this music, delivering the woozy "The New Kid" and the surging "Smokers" with so much blood and conviction that it's impossible to detect that the songs were recorded on just eight-tracks. The only thing keeping them from inhabiting the same critically hallowed ground as the Jayhawks and My Morning Jacket is singer Rhett Miller's cocktail napkin penned lyrics. It's nothing a remedial English class can't fix. --Aidin VaziriCountry Music CDs
