Episode 111 - Rhett Miller

In this very special episode, we chat with Rhett Miller (solo artist, frontman of Texas band the Old 97's) about the band's new album "Twelfth," which came out today (Friday, Aug. 21)! We discuss the "juicy" linguistics of that title and the significance of putting Dallas Cowboys legend Roger Staubach on the album cover. We talk about songwriting, and the new "Belmont Hotel" song in particular, as well as how he's been dealing with lockdown and livestream culture. :: Listen to Rhett's podcast, Wheels Off :: Check out the new Old 97's album, Twelfth :: See Rhett's livestream schedule on StageIt :: Thanks to the National Independent Venue Association for all that they are doing to #SaveOurStages.
