Today I listened to a CD I bought on Discogs, He Walks Through Walls by Julie Miller. Julie is now a major artist---along with her husband/partner Buddy Miller, producer, singer, guitarist, and band leader for Emmylou Harris---in the Americana music genre (formerly known as Alt-Country). At the time of the recording and release of this album, however, she was an artist---as was Buddy---in the Contemporary Christian Music world. This album is on the MYRRH label, a major player in that world.
This album---produced by Julie, Buddy, and Dan Posthuma, is fantastic! It features Buddy's signature recorded sound (if you've heard any of his productions you know what I mean. If you haven't, get with it!), so I'm sure he engineered the recordings. The album contains earlier recordings of a coupla songs which later appeared---re-recorded---on her essential Hightone Records albums. Buddy & Julie, two of my most favorite artists working now.
As long as I'm at it, let me hip you to the fact that both Sam Phillips and T Bone Burnett came from the CCM world as well. In those days Sam went by the name Leslie, and her CCM albums are easy to find for cheap. Not as good (imo) as Julie's but that's an awfully high bar. T Bone produced Leslie's album The Turning (her transition from the spiritual world to the secular), which was issued on LP by A & M, and even a CD on DCC.
