Free Music Review: The Great Americana Band of the 21st Century
Hit: 5 Stars
Scott Miller and the Commonwealth are the great Americana rock band of the 21st century. "Upside, Downside" is their best CD and is the best rock CD of the 21st century, thus far. "Upside, Downside" is loaded with great songs, not a bad song on the CD. Besides being an excellent writer, Miller is a fine singer, and his band, which has been compared to The Band, is tight. Miller also has an engaging personality and is wonderful to see in concert. If you get the chance, don't pass it up.
Also recommended: Thus Always to Tyrants, the first CD by Miller and the Commonwealth.
Upside Downside Poster
Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, native Scott Miller first gained attention as part of Knoxville roots-rockers the V-Roys, who briefly recorded for Steve Earle's E-Squared label. On Upside Downside, the follow-up to his 200l solo studio debut Thus Always to Tyrants, Miller once again acquits himself admirably as a quintessential heartland rocker and the closest thing the "Old Dominion" has to its very own Earle or John Mellencamp. Backed by his crackerjack band, the Commonwealth, Miller delivers a superb mix of blistering, often Virginia-specific rockers ("Raised by the Graves") and acoustic, country-tinged forays ("Amtrak Crescent" and "Ciderville Saturday Night," both featuring newgrass master Tim O'Brien on mandolin), tempering each with sobering self-realization, hard-fought wisdom, and self-effacing humor. A fine groove-driven instrumental called "Chill, Relax, Now" and a couple of frenetic, humorous rockers, including "It Didn't Take Too Long," add to the fun. --Bob AllenAlternative Rock Music CDs
