TFTC Anniversary Tour Through A Long-Time Fan’s Eyes
marie2012-11-13T17:01:33-05:00The outstanding TFTC 15th Anniversary tour has ended for this year. Can it really be over already?? As a way to stem our withdrawal while we all wait patiently for the dates of the next tour, we thought it'd be fun to relive a couple of midwest shows through the eyes of long-time fan and Chicago resident, Annie Viña. Annie shares her reflections of her 15 year devotion to the 97's as well as a new-found love of Salim and company. -Too Far To Care - The 15th Anniversary Tour - Madison & Chicago October 2012 Once upon a

One Epic Ending
marie2012-10-29T14:39:18-05:00Hey All! Stephanie and I had the great pleasure to attend the Old 97's TFTC show at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC last Friday. It was Off. The. Charts! Crazy, full-throttle energy splayed out in front of a fully committed audience. They were having fun, y'all. I don't usually record Time Bomb at the shows because, frankly I just want to get swept up in the fervor, sing and dance with wild abandon. I can't stand still enough to hold a camera steady. And Dude, forget about keeping quiet. Impossible. But last Friday when Rhett almost knocked the mic

TFTC Countdown: Murry on “West TX Teardrops”
Jefe2012-09-26T10:32:03-05:00From Rhett: Track 05 - "West Texas Teardrops" I asked the great Murry Hammond to weigh in on "West Texas Teardrops," his songwriting contribution to Too Far To Care. Thus he joins me in the RHETTrospective series. Ladies and gentlemen, Murry Hammond! Murry writes: For me, to talk about "West Texas Teardrops" is to talk about the great Texas yodeling cowboy singer Don Walser. Don sang that lonesome yodeling part at the end of "Old Familiar Steam" on <em>Wreck Your Life</em>, and over the years he became a... CONTINUE READING on RHETT's SITE
