Music Video Of The Week — 8
I love me some Old 97's, and that includes frontman Rhett Miller's solo projects. This is a tune originally available on the bonus disc to the Old 97's album Satellite Rides, but Miller's solo version is just as good (if anything, it's a little tighter, since it cuts the "You've got the teeth of the hydra upon you" from the chorus and lets it breathe a little). Anyone looking to get into the Old 97's could do a lot worse than to pick up Satellite Rides and Too Far to Care. Anyway, here it is:
"Singular Girl," by Rhett Miller.

Yeah, that's a great cover. If you're getting into Whiskeytown, go with the "Strangers Almanac" album. Can't be beat.
It's good to see Rhett getting some love. He's a buddy of mine and I'm happy that he's had a long and largely successful career.
i saw rhett miller open up for chris isaak like 8 years ago and i've been hooked ever since.
Brandi Carlile is playing at the World Cafe tonight! Of course, I found out about it way too late to actually purchase tix but still...
Anyway, the first footage I found of Whiskeytown was a cover of Gram Parson's "A Song For You"
Wanna see?
