Follow-up on Buddy & Julie Miller:
I hadn't listened to their Written In Chalk album (their 2nd, from 2009) in a while, but did last night. Wow, it may be even better than their 1st! Great, great songs (most written by Julie), fantastic production by Buddy (the living room of their Nashville home is his studio), stellar singing (Julie, Buddy, Patty Griffin, Robert Plant, and Emmylou Harris) and musicianship (Buddy---a superb guitarist, Larry Campbell, Jay Bellerose, Gurf Morlix---Lucinda Williams' original guitarist and producer, Stuart Duncan, and other lesser-knowns). And, the album is available on LP.
The depth and breadth of Buddy's knowledge of American music is unparalleled (with the exception of Dylan, and perhaps T Bone Burnett), and is an absolutely fantastic producer, guitarist and bandleader (in which capacity he works for Emmylou Harris), and makes music as good as is currently being made. Written In Chalk is fantastic---just buy it!
