There's still some interesting insight here, though--mostly the fact that Miller's angling his fellow 97's players to let him include an old song called "Muddy Rio Grande" from longtime Dallas favorite Killbilly (with which Miller and bassist Murry Hammond once played) on the next volume. And, in the clip, Miller even plays a bit of the chorus for his viewers. Pretty good stuff, too.

Somewhere, Big Dick Hunter is jumping for joy.
