"Every Night (Is Friday Night Without You)" turned up in October 2010 on The Grand Theatre, Volume One, the eighth studio album from alt-country rockers Old 97's, a record they tried out on a crowd before they cut it. The band booked a week-long stand at Sons of Hermann Hall in Dallas and treated it like a run of real shows, playing new material to the room, and the songs that held up went down to Treefort Studios in Austin to be recorded properly. Those sessions yielded more than two dozen songs, enough to fill a second volume in 2011.
Salim Nourallah produced it, with the band and Rip Rowan sharing co-producer credit, and the writing is split four ways between Rhett Miller, Ken Bethea, Murry Hammond and Philip Peeples.
