    Only one thing's certain -- his songwriting.

    The Old 97's sound youthful and newly energized, having returned to Dallas and relocated that beloved crossroads between twangy country rock and tight, economic power pop.

    The players' tight grip on the material reveals a first-rate band in peak form. [June 2008, p.98]

    Blame it on Gravity shows the Texan Alt-Rockers Old 97's at their absolute best. After the disappointing punch of Drag it Up, the 979;s have found their sound again, returning to the days of Satellite Rides and Too Far to Care. Perhaps their finest album, Blame it on Gravity is certainly energetic, and contains many of the band's best songs.… Expand

    97's return with a classic. This is up there with fight songs and satellite rides.
