Old 97's is an American rock band from Dallas, Texas. Formed in 1992,[6] they have released thirteen studio albums, two full extended plays, shared split duty on another, and they have one live album. Their most recent release is titled American Primitive.

Old 97's were pioneers of the alt-country movement during the mid-to-late 1990s, then they developed more of a power pop style in the 2000s.[4] Lead vocalist and primary songwriter Rhett Miller has described the band's style as "loud folk".[7] The band's name is in reference to the Wreck of the Old 97.[8]
