Trail Songs Of the Deep, 2025
Written by Murry Hammond
While the Hammond songs on Old 97's albums are often my favorites ("W. Tx Teardrops," "Crash On the Barrelhead"), when left to his own devices he stays in the comfort zone of train imagery, acoustic guitar, and brushes on the drums. Unfortunately, his comfort zone is very much the slow lane, and while that has its place, it's not usually my thing. His easy-going drawl, soft chugging percussion, and ethereal whistling can leave me wanting a little bit of kick to break it all up. Hammond's pleasant voice makes this sad country ballad a decent listen, if the ending does go on a bit long.
