# 15: Rhett Miller - Rhett Miller

I have been a fan of Rhett Miller and the Old 97's since I was in high school and heard the Old 97's on WNCW - so there was no doubt that Rhett wouldn't at least be a contender for this year's best of. His eponymous album obviously did not disappoint.

Rhett Miller proves once again he is both a hopeless romantic and a master songwriter with clever lines like:

"I wanted things that I couldn't afford, like love."

"When I laid my eyes on you I felt a fundamental change, I was a concrete jungle in summer, I was a desert aching for rain."

"Ever since I found you I've been orbiting around you like you are the sun."
