"Timebomb" comes from Too Far to Care, the album Old 97's released in June 1997, and the whole band has its fingerprints on it: Rhett Miller, Ken Bethea, Murry Hammond and Philip Peeples share the writing credit. Miller and Bethea work the guitars, Hammond holds down the bass and Peeples the drums, and Miller and Hammond both sing, which is about as short a fuse as a title like that deserves. Wally Gagel produced.
