24 Hours a Day is the third album by the American band the Bottle Rockets, released in 1997.[1][2] The band supported the album by touring with John Fogerty and then Todd Snider.[3][4] Bass player Tom V. Ray left the band around the time of the album's release.[5]

It was the band's only album for Atlantic Records, and was underpromoted, according to the Bottle Rockets.[6][7] Frontman Brian Henneman also blamed the "alternative country" label that sometimes stuck to the band for the lack of rock radio airplay.[8][9]
