ATO Records is proud to present Most Messed Up, the new album from Old 97’s, available today on CD, LP, and digital download. Additionally, there are 500 copies of a special bootleg collectors’ piece- orange vinyl in a hand-stamped and hand-numbered sleeve- available at indie record shops across the country.
Most Messed Up finds the Old 97’s at their raucous, boozy best, all swagger and heart. Titles like “Wasted,” “Intervention,” “Wheels Off,” “Let’s Get Drunk And Get It On,” and “Most Messed Up” hint at the kind of narrators Miller likes to inhabit, men who possess an appetite for indulgence and won’t let a few bad decisions get in the way of a good story. The band is joined by friend Tommy Stinson ( The Replacements, Guns ‘n’ Roses), who lays down electric guitar on a number of tracks, elevating the sense of reckless musical abandon to new heights and lending the album an air of the Rolling Stones’ double-guitar attack
