2020 . Old 97's return with Twelfth, their aptly titled 12th studio album, recorded this spring in Nashville, Tennessee between a tornado and a pandemic. 2016's Graveyard Whistling took the 97's to new heights lead by the single InchGood With GodInch - a bona-fide hit at non-commercial radio.

The band still contains it's original 4 members - Rhett Miller, Ken Bethea, Murry Hammond & Philip Peeples.
