I can’t think of a better way to spend an afternoon than listening to Old 97’s music while enjoying the breathtaking views of the Austin Hill Country. So, when I had the chance to visit with Rhett Miller and producer Salim Nourallah while they were mixing the forthcoming 8th studio album by the Dallas quartet, well… you can imagine what a perfect day that was for me.
