From The Wreckage – Part One Cover Art
(Nashville, Tenn. – March 26, 2021) – “They say variety is the spice of life, and for Jason Charles Miller, variety is definitely something his life does not lack. Singer, songwriter, touring musician, studio owner, voice actor, show host. The man does it all,” noted American Songwriter. The man of many talents, Jason Charles Miller, combines his aptitudes on his new album, From the Wreckage – Part One, now available on all streaming platforms HERE.
Straddling the line between rock and country, the new album is released through Miller’s own Haunted Mill Music record label, and puts his gritty, passion-filled style on full display.
Produced by Jason Charles Miller, Stewart Cararas and Matt Hyde, From the Wreckage – Part One is Miller’s fifth full-length and sixth studio release. The album features several collaborations, including Adam Shoenfeld (Tim McGraw) playing lead guitar and “Cowboy” Eddie Long (Jamey Johnson) playing pedal steel on “Better Late Than Never,” Duane Betts of the Allman Betts Band on “Expiration Day,” and Katie Cole from Smashing Pumpkins on “Day After Day” along with Eban Schletter (film composer) playing the theremin.
Miller – widely remembered as the voice of the rock band Godhead – commented about the collaborations: “I have so many friends who happen to also be great musicians, and I love collaborating with them. I live in Los Angeles, so when friends from Nashville travel through on tour, I try and grab ‘em while I can and hit the record button – not to mention all the amazing musicians who live in Los Angeles. My long-time collaborator and friend Stewart Cararas was paramount in helping me complete both this album, and Part Two, another seven tracks that we are planning to release in summer 2021. And of course, I need to mention the great Matt Hyde – he produced my last full-length album, and we continue to work together when our schedules permit.”
