A great many of Rhett Miller's songs deal with a guy who has a wandering eye when it comes to relationships, and some problems with commitment. It would appear this is not an autobiographical conceit, since by all accounts Miller is a happily married husband and father. But it is worth considering that while his band, the Old 97's, has had the same lineup since 1993, Miller has used a wide range of collaborators since he launched his solo career in earnest with The Instigator in 2002.
