Old 97's were pioneers of the alt-country movement during the mid-to-late 1990s, then they developed more of a power pop style in the 2000s.[4] Lead vocalist and primary songwriter Rhett Miller has described the band's style as "loud folk".[7] The band's name is in reference to the Wreck of the Old 97.[8]
