	CMT.com : Vernon Dalhart : Biography
		A 1924 recording by Dalhart became country music's first million-selling record; pairing a train song ("Wreck of the Old 97") with a sentimental ballad ("The Prisoner's Song"), the release set patterns for two key genres of early country music on record.
		After "The Wreck of the Old 97" became a smash hit, Dalhart was a national star of sorts -- he was never a really recognizable figure, but he could sell records in the millions.
		During the '20s and '30s, he used over 100 pseudonyms to record over 5,000 78 rpm singles for a variety of labels; among the names he adopted were Frank Evans, Vernon Dale, Tobe Little, Bob White, Hugh Lattimer, Sid Turner, and Al Craver.

	SLTrib Utah City Guide - Entertainment Articles - After a 3-year break, Old 97's is back on track
		That unlikely fusion eventually led to an independent record deal for Old 97's, named for the Johnny Cash tune "The Wreck of the Old 97." Then came a major-label deal, marriages, babies and moves by some members to exotic locales like New York City and Los Angeles.
		By the time the band finished touring in support of its 2001 album of tasty power-pop, "Satellite Rides," it almost seemed like the end of the Old 97's was nigh.
		The Old 97's are back on the road, with a new album full of country-fried rock and pop, "Drag It Up," and back on an indie label, New West Records, home to the likes of fellow country-rockers John Hiatt, the Drive-By Truckers and The Flatlanders.

		On their eighth (counting the compilation Early Tracks that Bloodshot released in 2000), and first fully live album, the Old 97's serve up a two disc set recorded on two nights in the summer of 2005 in Gruene, Texas.
		The shame of the matter is that the two nights that comprise this two disc set have failed to capture the sound and the glory of the Old 97's balls-to-the-wall ability to really crank out a solid line of damn good songs.
		While the mix is lacking, the overall feel of an Old 97's live show is very much intact.

		Perhaps Mel Brooks said it best in History of the World Part I: "It's good to be the king." Rhett Miller, front man for the Old 97's, basked in that feeling at the House of Blues Monday night.
		The 97's, once considered royalty of the alternative-country scene, took their name from a 1950's Johnny Cash hit, "The Wreck of the Old 97," a story about a train conductor who lost his airbrakes, then his life, when he fell behind schedule and attempted to ride his engine too hard.
		Monday evening, led by their own conductor Miller, the 97's also pushed their engines to the max, but stayed on the tracks in an effort to prove that it is now (with a few exceptions) strictly rock n' roll that stokes their fire.
