We also enjoy a first peek into Colorado's own 4H Royalty as they unleash their sophomore album. After dallying with a solo career, Raul Malo reunites with his Mavericks. Rhett Miller steps outside of his Old 97s day job for his fifth solo effort, which early listens indicate just might be his best. Whereas previous outings have perhaps tried to hard to put distance between the 97s and Rhett's solo sound, The Dreamer settles into a more natural groove, retaining much of the alt.country vibe while focusing on the perfect pop instincts that have always made him such a stellar songwriter.
