7.5 / 10

The alt-country act is as dependable as ever.

Though the Old 97's were hardly known for their bad habits, the fact they were still singing songs about chasing women and getting drunk decades into their career suggested that at least creatively, they had a flexible attitude regarding maturity.

7.0 / 10

Just to inventory a few of the jewels in Old 97’s crown before we proceed. The band—which still has all of its original members intact more than a quarter of a century on—reigns as the best touring bar band in America.

The album is defined by surprising positivity in the face of, not only the troubled times of the present, but decades of life on the road.

8 / 10

Dallas' Old 97's tend to break expectations. For one, they've been working with the same four members for 27 years
