Old 97’s: New double album?

Monday, April 26th, 2010 | musiX | No Comments

Anyone who knows me, or keeps up with TDoL, knows I’m a bit of an Old 97’s freak fan. Why wouldn’t I be? Better yet—why wouldn’t you be? So imagine my giddiness when I saw The Dallas Observer had dropped in on the band while they recorded basic tracks for their forthcoming record at Sons of Hermann Hall in Dallas.

The following clip offers a nice chunk of a new tune, a song title in “Every Night Is Friday Night Without You” and a ghost story from bassist Murry Hammond. Salim Nourallah, who produced 2008’s Blame It On Gravity, is manning the boards again, and it sounds like there’s a lot of material. The Old 97’s always modest frontman/looker Rhett Miller explains in the waning seconds of the clip. Sounds like I better reserve a spot on The Days of Lore (2010? 2011?) year-end list.
