The Old 97's bounce into 2008 with 13 tracks on their album Blame It On Gravity. This is their seventh studio album and their first album in four years. The Old 97's are Alt-Country pioneers originally based in Dallas, Texas. The band credits this album's enthusiasm to their return to Dallas to record, the first time since their initial independent release. The band, still comprised of original members Rhett Miller, Murry Hammond, Ken Bethea and Philip Peeples, deliver what they believe is the finest album of their 15-year career. The group formed in 1993 and took their name from an old country song popularized by Johnny Cash, "Wreck of the Old 97."
