A Truer Sampler 05 - Scott Miller (with The V-Roys & The Commonwealth)

Allright, now Scott Miller is another of my favorites. Been following his career for a long, long time. I first heard him was on the Bubbapalooza CD which I had bought strictly for the SCOTS live song on it. Scott Miller was a pleasent surprise to find on that album. Then a year or so later I picked up the first V-Roys album "Just Add Ice" and instantly fell in love with it. The V-Roys were the pride of Knoxeville, TN and the first band signed to Steve Earle's record label (E-Squared). Truth be told, the only reason I picked the album up in the first place was cause I saw Steve Earle's name on the back of the case as producer. It wasn't until I started reading through the liner notes that I figured out this was the same guy from the Bubbapalooza CD.

The V-Roys still remain one of my favorite bands from that era and it's a shame they broke up, but luckily Scott persevered and has had a fruitful solo career since the V-Roys. I remember when I picked up his first solo album "Thus Always To Tyrants" and finally figured out that he was from VA....that made me like him even more. All of his solo album have been pretty good, but his shows....that's where he really shines. I'm hoping to catch him this coming august. If you can't catch him, go out and buy his newest album (which is a live album) "Reconstruction"
