Video: Watch Old 97's Sing from New Album on CBS, Summer Tour Starting in July

Over the weekend, alt-country pioneers Old 97’s made their return to CBS Saturday Morning to perform three songs from their critically-acclaimed 13th studio album American Primitive out now via ATO Records. The three-decade-long lineup of singer and guitarist Rhett Miller, bassist Murry Hammond, guitarist Ken Bethea, and drummer Philip Peeples delivered stunning performances of “Falling Down,” “American Primitive” and “Where The Road Goes,” which is currently sitting at #3 on the Americana Radio Chart. 

In celebration of American Primitive and the 30th anniversary of their powerhouse debut Hitchhike to Rhome later this year, the band will hit the road for a lengthy 20+ date summer tour that kicks off in July and will make stops in Boston, New York City, Minneapolis, Washington D.C. and many more. Find a full list of tour dates below or visit their website.

Last month, Rolling Stone caught up with the band for an extensive feature interview where they discussed their new album and three-decade long creative partnership. The band were also featured in The Dallas Morning News, BrooklynVegan, SPIN, and Texas Monthly, where Miller ranked the bands discography.
