Wreck Your Life (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Wreck Your Life is the second studio album by American country/rock band Old 97's, first released on May 23, 1996 (see 1996 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.
