Tuesday Music: Spinning The Old

I've got a short selection for this week's new music, but it's from one of my favorite "sleeper" bands, one that I tried out on a whim from Borders and have loved their stuff ever since.

The Old 97's - Drag It Up Available July 27

The Old 97's started out being what you would call alt-country, and I discovered them in their Fight Songs album when I was in a phase of buying stuff I'd never heard of to see if I liked it. And I did, quite thoroughly. Though they were even more country in their albums previous to Songs and 2001's Satellite Rides, which was basically summery pop, I believe they've returned to form on this effort. Try it out, or try out one of the albums I already mentioned. They're in my collection, and Drag It Up soon will be.
