Dreams Vs. Waking Life 5:44 10. Wicked Things 3:12 11. Good Night 4:13 12. Reasons To Live 3:22 Release Notes: -------- Rhett MillerÆs on a roll. Last yearÆs release with his veteran Old 97Æs group was one of the best in their 20+ year run. Now he resumes his on again/off again solo career with another winner that further proves he is one of AmericanaÆs most consistent and talented singer/songwriters. The Traveler follows a long line of similarly named titles such as The Instigator, The Believer, The Interpreter and The Dreamer, all of which combine to accurately describe MillerÆs solo approach. This time he enlists Portland six-piece multi-instrumentalists Black Prairie (an offshoot of sorts of the Decemberists) for a spirited, driving folk-pop offering that yields another impressive notch on his ever-expanding career belt. The basic performances were recorded live on the studio floor and later enhanced with overdubs from Peter Buck and Scott McCaughey. There is palpable electricity in the interaction between Prairie and Miller whether itÆs in the gauzy, psychedelic ôDreams vs. Working Lifeö or the sunshiny pop of ôMost in the Summertime.ö Credit that outfit and their varied instrumentation of fiddle, accordion and Chamberlin for injecting these already flowing melodies with wider and deeper musical support. From the modified waltz of ôMy Little Disasterö with its Cajun tendencies to the jaunty McCartney-ish piano led ôReasons to Liveö they cover a lot of ground. For his part, Miller continues to push outside his musical comfort zone on this primarily acoustic outing, delivering songs and arrangements that wouldnÆt fit into the hard, punky twang of the Old 97Æs with their more electrified, rock influenced attack. Lyrically he remains caught in typically difficult romantic situations and a sense that he still hasnÆt achieved all that he could in the conflicted, chiming, ELO-ish ôEscape Velocity.ö You could call The Traveler a victory lap if there was a sense Rhett Miller was nearing the end of his creative career. But as it stands, this rollicking outing confirms that his output and talents are just hitting their peak, with hopefully more to come. This NFO File was rendered by NFOmation.net
