Background
editMiller described Spillin' My Truth as "an album full of stories which in whole tells one big one," adding that it demonstrated "the ups and downs of life that bring you to where you’re meant to be".[4] Some of the songs on the album were recorded one or two years prior to its release, to which Miller remarked that it was "so nice to finally get more music out". He described the song "Better Than Nothing at All" featuring fellow Canadian country singer Carolyn Dawn Johnson as the "focus track" on the album.[5]
Critical reception
editDan Savoie of 519 Magazine stated that Miller's "rootsy authenticity reflects in his songs".[6]
