Country Music
Country (also called country and western) is a genre of popular music that originated in the Southern and Southwestern United States in the early 1920s. It primarily derives from blues, church music such as Southern gospel and spirituals, old-time, and American folk music forms including Appalachian, Cajun, Creole, and the cowboy Western music styles of Hawaiian, New Mexico, Red Dirt, Tejano, and Texas country. Country music often consists of ballads and honky-tonk dance tunes with generally simple form, folk lyrics, and harmonies often accompanied by string instruments such as electric and acoustic guitars, steel guitars (such as pedal steels and dobros), banjos, and fiddles as well as harmonicas. Blues modes have been used extensively throughout its recorded history. The term ''country music'' gained popularity in the 1940s in preference to '' hillbilly music'', with "country music" being used today to describe many styles and subgenres. It came to encomp ...

Wreck Your Life
''Wreck Your Life'' is the second studio album by American country/rock band Old 97's, first released on October 3, 1995 (see 1995 in music). The album's title comes from a Texas Department of Transportation bumper sticker with the slogan, "Don't Wreck Your Life". Drummer Philip Peeples removed the first word and applied the sticker to the band's touring van. ''Wreck Your Life'' was the band's first professionally released album, released by Chicago alt-country label Bloodshot Records. The album contains many of the country and bar band elements absent from the later Elektra Records recordings. Four extra songs from these sessions, as well as two singles, were later combined by Bloodshot for the '' Early Tracks'' EP. Though the anticipation of the album was immense, the ratings were not very good. "Doreen" is a re-recording from the band's first album, '' Hitchhike to Rhome'', and an alternate take on "W-I-F-E" can be found on '' Early Tracks''. "Big Brown Eyes" was featured in ...

Drag It Up
''Drag It Up'' is a studio album by American country/rock band Old 97's, released in 2004 (see 2004 in music). The album's title comes from the fourth track, "Smokers." The album peaked at #120 on the ''Billboard'' 200. Critical reception '' No Depression'' wrote that "at least half the record is subdued in tone and tempo. If the overall result isn’t quite as rawk, well, the sound suits the songs, and that makes all the difference." The '' Hartford Courant'' wrote that "the songwriting is only fair, and the murky songs sound like they were recorded in a tin shed during a heavy downpour." The '' Cleveland Scene'' called the album "joyous alt-country."
