Rhett Miller made his first real solo statement in 2002 with The Instigator on Elektra, stepping out from his day job as the lead singer of alt-country outfit Old 97's. Born in 1970 and based in Austin, he took the twang down a notch and turned up the pop: "Come Around" is a jangling charmer, and "This Is What I Do" struts with the cocky ease of a guy who knows his way around a hook.
The Instigator is where the solo career starts, but it wasn't the end of it; he has kept on recording and performing under his own name, and "The Question" is another of his tunes that turned up on the countdowns. Off the stage he has also published both fiction and non-fiction.
