Old 97s Rhett Miller Is The Traveler on His New Solo Album


Rhett Miller's new solo album is called The Traveler. The lead singer of The Old 97's has kept a solo career going concurrent with his Old 97’s duties. This new one was recorded with the help of Black Prairie, the Portland Oregon based band made up musicians whose day job is to play in The Decemberists. With a singer-songwriter there is always the assumption that the songs are autobiographical. We'll check on that assumption and see what Rhett means by that title The Traveler as we hear a stripped down set from the stage of World Cafe Live.
