Rhett Miller & Black Prairie - The Traveler

New solo album from Old 97's front man featuring Black Prairie

Album download included

Rhett Miller, lead singer of boozy raucous rockers The Old 97's, presents his new solo album The Traveler. Recorded with Black Prairie (members of The Decemberists ) and produced by Chris Funk, The Traveler showcases a relentless and seemingly ageless songwriter honed by years on the road.

In late January of 2014, Miller entered Portland, Oregon's legendary Jackpot Studios accompanied by his friends in the band Black Prairie.

"John, Jon, Jenny, Nate, Chris, Annalisa and I tracked quickly. Almost everything you hear on The Traveler was recorded live on the floor of Jackpot during that beautiful week. The great Peter Buck and Scott McCaughey came in later and helped out with a few overdubs and that was pretty much it.

"My favorite thing about music is the friendship it engenders. And the best way to make music is to get some friends together in a room and roll tape. That's how The Traveler came to be. I'm so grateful to Black Prairie for all the fun we had making The Traveler. Thanks for listening," Miller says "Please enjoy."
