Released October 12, 2010, on New West Records, the album grew out of an unconventional writing process: the band took up a week-long residency at Sons of Hermann Hall in Dallas, road-testing new songs in front of a live crowd before heading to Treefort Studios in Austin to record them while they still sounded loose and lived-in. Over two dozen songs came out of those sessions — more than could fit on one record, with the leftovers eventually released as The Grand Theatre Vol. 2 the following year. The results struck critics as some of the band's most vital work in years. PopMatters called it \"the best sounding Old 97's record in quite some time,\" praising it as \"wild, slightly unfocused, totally committed, and furiously paced.\" The album's most unusual track, \"Champaign, Illinois,\" is a full rewrite of Bob Dylan's \"Desolation Row\" with new lyrics by frontman Rhett Miller — and Dylan liked it enough not only to bless the idea, but to let the band credit him as a co-writer, something he's rarely, if ever, granted to another artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Grand Theater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eEvery Night Is Friday Night (Without You)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Magician\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eYou Were Born to Be in Battle\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Dance Class\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eLet the Whiskey Take the Reins\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eChampaign, Illinois\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eA State of Texas\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eYou Smoke Too Much\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eLove Is What You Are\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003ePlease Hold on While the Train Is Moving\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Beauty Marks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Waiting Room Records","offers":[{"title":"Whisky Marble LP","offer_id":45506188247155,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/4315\/0908\/files\/Old97_s-TheGrandTheaterVolumeOne.jpg?v=1789573125","url":"https:\/\/waitingroomrecords.com\/products\/old-97s-the-grand-theater-volume-one-preorder-out-11-27","provider":"Waiting Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
