Too Far To Care

• Shrink-wrapped

When the Old 97 s got together in Dallas, Texas, in 1993, bands like The Jayhawks, Uncle Tupelo, Whiskeytown, and Drive-By Truckers<br>were already picking up their guitars and makin records. Once enough of these sorts of bands started gracing clubs across the country, the<br>folks who pay attention to musical trends started citing them collectively as an emerging movement. Critics called their music alt-country <br>and praised bands like the Old 97 s for their attention to songwriting craft and sweaty<br>rockin shows. Since then, the Old 97 s have made their way through nine albums, a few<br>compilations, and numerous legendary live shows, all while maintaining their original line-up.<br>This year, the Old 97 s are celebrating the 15th Anniversary of their major label debut, Too Far To<br>Care, with an anniversary tour that begins in late August and runs through October. Each show<br>will feature the album performed live, from start to fi nish, with a second set of more favorites.<br>Omnivore Recordings will honor the 15th Anniversary of Too Far To Care with a series of<br>special editions. Produced by Wally Gagel (Folk Implosion, Sebadoh, etc.) and featuring<br>guest artists, Jon Rauhouse and Exene Cervenka, Too Far To Care has become a classic of<br>the alt-country genre. The 2-CD set includes the remastered original album plus four session<br>outtakes on disc one and a second disc of original pre-album demos featuring some neverbefore-<br>heard Old 97 s songs!
