"Murder (Or A Heart Attack)" by Old 97's

When not making solo records, singer and songwriter Rhett Miller is very busy with his alternative country/folk rock band, Old 97's. The band has released eleven records since they helped pioneer the genre in the 90s with the likes of The Jayhawks and Wilco.

There is a lot of great stuff to mine from their extensive catalogue, but I find "Murder (Or A Heart Attack)" to be one of their best tunes. If any song of theirs was going to help them break onto the charts, this one should have been the one. It comes from the band's 1999 LP called "Fight Songs."

"Four-Eyed Girl" by Rhett Miller

Rhett Miller, also a member of the alt-country band Old 97's, is an acclaimed singer/songwriter who has yet to make an appearance on the charts despite releasing quality albums as a solo artist since "The Instigator" in 2002.

The best known track from the record is "Come Around," but "Four-Eyed Girl" is a fun, overlooked gem.
