Miller plays solo for much of the album; drums and piano color a handful of tracks, including a stellar version of \u201cQueen Bitch.\u201d A couple of songs fall flat, but there are plenty of moments in which Miller shines. He delivers a reverent version of Elliott Smith\u2019s \u201cHappiness,\u201d while Ray Davies\u2019 \u201cWaterloo Sunset\u201d is sparse and lovely. Though perhaps only essential for Miller completists, <em>The Interpreter<\/em> is a charming collection on its own and a fitting tribute to a keystone of the modern L.A. music scene. \u2013J.
