Earlier this year, John R. Miller released his latest album, Depreciated. The album chronicles the story of a life well-lived, with its songs being filled with hope and wonder. We spoke with him about it at the time of its July release, and he detailed the struggles that he was dealing with leading up to it. Miller eventually found happiness in Kentucky and began spending a lot of time traveling and performing in the Bluegrass State.

The album, which was produced by Justin Francis (Leon Bridges, Kacey Musgraves, Margo Price) and Adam Meisterhans, is Miller’s best work yet. It was so good to the point where another producer who happened to be walking by the room where it was being mixed was so impressed that he helped facilitate Miller being signed to Concord.
