American Primitive, 2024
Written by Ken Bethea, Murry Hammond, Rhett Miller, and Philip Peeples
A tale of loving and leaving with Hammond on the vocals, with his cowboy twang, and train whistle croon on the held notes, adding a much appreciated jolt of country to the Old 97's, their Americana alt-country now diluted by Miller's usual, albeit terrific, pop-rock sound. Murry boasts, or maybe laments, his tendency to leave a woman angry and spreading lies about him ("She's howling 'bout my cruelty / For any who will hear." But he remains unmoved: "We'll ride about and care aloud some glad and gilded song / About a red dirt river road with thrills to tag along."
