    For almost ten years now, Rhett Miller has balanced a solo career with a band career, as both the leader of the rock band Old 97s and as an acclaimed singer-songwriter in his own right. Last year, the Old 97s released their seventh album Blame It On Gravity. Now, just a year later, Miller returns with his fourth solo record, the self-titled Rhett Miller. Like every record that Miller is involved in, it’s tuneful, memorable, and smart. Unlike other records, though, this one cuts deep – sometimes to the bone. As the title suggests, this album represents Miller’s most personal statement in a career that has spanned more than a decade. And that’s exactly the way he wants it.
    Earlier solo projects like The Instigator (2002) and The Believer (2006) found Miller exploring, respectively, the power-pop dimension of his work and the moodier ballad work. Rhett Miller continues in the latter direction, though it contains plenty of Miller’s scalpel-sharp wordplay.
