"Jagged" comes from Fight Songs, the fourth album by alt-country outfit Old 97's and their second for Elektra, released April 27, 1999. That record swapped some of the band's rough edges for a slicker, poppier sheen, a direction they kept chasing on 2001's Satellite Rides.
The writing credit is shared by Rhett Miller, Ken Bethea, Murry Hammond and Philip Peeples, the same four who play it: Miller and Bethea on guitars, Hammond on electric bass, Peeples on drums, with Miller and Hammond both singing. Jon Rauhouse sits in as a guest on pedal steel, keeping a little honky-tonk ache in the mix however glossy the rest of Fight Songs gets.
