Old 97's - Variety Playhouse - Atlanta, GA - October 29, 2004


"You're a bottle cap away from pushing me too far..."

I went to see the Old 97's at Variety Playhouse in Little Five Points here in Atlanta. Allen Richardson, Jennifer Schiveree, Thomas Farmer, Charles and Caroline Echols, Michael Brown and I met up to catch the show, and it was one hell of a show!

They played tons of old stuff, as well as a few songs off their new album, Drag It Up. Despite being on the road for over three months, they looked great and Rhett's voice held up pretty well. It was their second-to-last show, as they headed back to Dallas to go out with a bang at the Granada Theater.

If you've never given these guys a listen, do so NOW! A little country, a little punk, and a little rock...a great blend that grows on you to the point you'll know every word to every song. They have so much energy...it's obvious they love to perform and do so for the right reasons. They definitely don't get to Atlanta enough...hopefully that will change.

See my "Buy These Now" section for more details on the Old 97's!
