A playful fiddle show the way into In the Meantime, the recent release from Brant Miller. The opening title track lists options when Brant Miller decides on his chosen path for any given day. While humans occasionally whine and complain about being bored, Brant Miller points out that there is a multitude of possibilities as he follows the ‘winding road’ that leads into a discussion of mortality, providing an answer in the lyrics of the song, suggesting ‘what could do in the meantime’. The at-odds state of our union as Americans is discussed in “Something We Can Agree On” as In the Meantime opens the front gate for friends, neighbors, and any others who want to take a seat to find a common ground. Circling back to his own life, Brant Miller watched the years fly ‘like flights of geese’ with “My Wild Oats are Sown”, softening the melody to a hush for the life lessons of “Sometimes You Just Gotta Let It Go” and teaches a history lesson that creates ahttps://brantmillermusic.com/ backstory for the current times of the citizens of the U.S.A. with “The Great Experiment”.


Recording In the Meantime in his East Nashville homebase, Brant Miller is joined by local legend Will Kimbrough when he declares “I Want to Be Cool!” as the picking reverts to a reverent calm when In the Meantime watches “Floodwaters Are Risin’ Again” as the album finds itself in Southwest memories of family with the strong resolutions in “As I Build This House”. Faith in what he can, see, touch, and feel are broadened when Brant Miller reads from headlines as he promises fidelity in “Our Love Still Stands”, telling the tale of “The Last Songwriter”. He pens “Time to Forgive Herself” with Honky Tonk wisdom before exiting In the Meantime with the quiet reverie of “I Take a Minute”. (by Danny McCloskey)
