Longtime twangy-meets-jangly Texas rockers, Old 97's, have announced plans to release their first new album in four years, Blame it On Gravity, on May 13 via New West Records.

In the meantime, through April 9 fans can go to Old97s.NewWestRecords.com and sign up to receive an exclusive digital download of a performance of the new song "My Two Feet." The footage was filmed live at the end of the band's recording session party in Dallas earlier this year.

In late May, frontman Rhett Miller and the rest of the poppy-meets-alt-country Old 97's crew will kick off a nationwide tour at the Meridian in Houston.
