Rhett Miller still maintains a youthful charm which is why it's hard to believe he's been writing songs since 1989. As both a successful solo artist and the frontman of classic roots rock band Old 97's, Miller has become something of a prodigy in the Texas music scene where he hails from. This initial local acclaim has spawned international interest, and Miller was able to take time from his busy schedule and Wits appearance to talk with Barb Abney about some of the musicians that inspire him most.
