Spirit
Rain, Millers most captivating and experimental work to date."
-Dirty Linen
Bill Miller was chosen as one of the "14 Hottest Musical Acts"
of 2002
by Native Peoples Magazine
"While Millers lyrical quality may suggest a singer-songwriters
disposition, his utterances cut a broader swath than the average wordsmith."
-All Music Guide
"Spirit Rain is a masterpiece that layers multiple musical connotations
and ideas into a complex symphony of Native motifs and intelligent pop
songs."
-Native American Times
"
excelling in his songwriting and vocals
"
-Indian Country Today
"
Millers yearning voice and folksy acoustic guitar bring
these stories to life. Its his well-crafted songwriting, however,
which incorporates folk, blues, rock, and traditional Native American
music in various degrees, that makes each of the 14 songs stand on their
own, even as they combine to give the album a cohesive identity."
