- -----------------------
- One of Rhett Miller's strengths as an artist is an ability to shift effortlessly
- between his duties as Old 97s frontman/resident pin-up and his own burgeoning solo
- career. On this 2009 release (his third) the authentic twang of his main band is on
- display on songs like "Sometimes" and "Another Girlfriend," but the overall trend
- is springy power-pop songcraft. The drolly tuneful "If It's Not Love" and "I Need
- to Know Where I Stand" suggest years of apprenticeship with Nick Lowe, while the
- snaky melody and sensuous strum of "Refusing Temptation" sounds like a b-side from
- a '90s Matthew Sweet album. The bouncy "Like Life" features Miller's most soulful
- vocal and insistent melodic hook. Altogether, the 12 songs show an evolving songwriting
- talent.
