MS: Miller and Warshaw launched Bloodshot in 1994 to provide a home to Chicago's overlooked alt-country musicians. But Miller flinches at the idea that Bloodshot was ever stylistically constricted: "I kind of forget -- I go through life assuming that everyone else does not have a problem listening to the breadth of stuff I do.
