Miller, who is remembered well as the voice of the rock band Godhead, talked about the collaborations on his forthcoming record:
“I have so many friends who happen to also be great musicians, and I love collaborating with them. I live in Los Angeles, so when friends from Nashville travel through on tour, I try and grab ’em while I can and hit the record button – not to mention all the amazing musicians who live in Los Angeles. My long-time collaborator and friend Stewart Cararas was paramount in helping me complete both this album and Part Two, another seven tracks that we are planning to release in summer 2021. And of course, I need to mention the great Matt Hyde – he produced my last full-length album, and we continue to work together when our schedules permit.”
