The Best of Old 97's: Hit by a Train (Elektra/Rhino)
Rhino's Old 97s best-of hits with "Timebomb," of course; Rhett Miller's duet with Exene Cervenka, "Four Leaf Clover"; Satellite Rides' addictive "Rollerskate Skinny"; and a live version of "Barrier Reef." There's also Marty Robbins' "El Paso," recorded for King of the Hill, and the Dashboard Confession of "Question," but those are fan-only, which is the problem. There's a time and place for alt.sap ("King of All the World," "Valentine"), but a best-of isn't it. Want hits? Try Too Far to Care. That'll scratch the itch.
