RHETT MILLER - s/t

It is official. Rhett Miller is one of the best and most under rated songwriters in the United States. His body of consistently excellent material continues to build and here with this self-titled solo album, this fourth solo album apart from his work with The Old 97s, is a jaw dropper. Listen to the soundbites below and savor. " stars. His strongest solo set ever. What makes Old 97`sa great country-rock band is the tug of war between Miller`s love for rough honky tonking and Sixties pop. Playing the later, per his usual solo work, he has made his strongest set yet. Aided by Jon Brion on bass and guitar, Miller brings plenty of hooks." Rolling Stone.

"His self titled solo album is mature, extremely thoughtful, and unbelievably melodic. As much as I really like his first two albums, this one puts him into a different category among contemporary singer/songwriters: The top echelon. Without bothering with a song by song critique, I think it is fair to say that he has taken some real musical risks on this album. The time signatures are interesting, the lyrical and song structures are unpredictable, and the content is meaningful and insightful while still being a whole lot of fun. We live in an age of highly saturated exposure to mostly bad music. Rhett Miller has such skill at taking potentially wornout themes and a style of playing that is hardly new or innovative and finding his own voice, his own originality."-Amazon.
