A Lifetime of Riding by Night, Rhett Miller’s tenth solo album, is a stark, soul-baring meditation on surrender, mortality, and love. Recorded days before vocal-cord surgery, Miller entrusted longtime bandmate Murry Hammond to complete the project, embracing vulnerability and imperfection. Rooted in spare folk/indie-rock, the album captures raw performances shaped by physical pain and emotional openness. Informed by Miller’s songwriting teaching and wide-ranging collaborators, the record reveals new depths of candor, proving the creative power of letting go.
