"Healing Tide", the title song on the Buddy Miller-produced album by the duo of Michael and Tanya Trotter, who go by the unlikely group name of The War & Treaty.
The song is an intense, smoldering-hot slab of Southern Soul/R &B, sung by Michael and Tanya as a duet. Fantastic musical accompaniment by Michael himself on piano, Buddy on electric guitar, Brady Blade on drums, Adam Chaffins on electric bass, and Jim Hoke on organ, baritone sax, autoharp, harmonica, and pedal steel. Jim is a friend of Audiogon member Bill Hart (@whart), and a very talented multi-instrumentalist.
Michael and Tanya are two of the best singers working today, and the whole album is a rare treat: great material, great singing, great musicianship, great production. Recorded live---repeat, live!---on March 15-18, 2018 by Buddy in his home studio in Nashville. Emmylou Harris appears on one track, singing harmony of course. Some tracks feature Sam Bush on fiddle, Russ Pahl on pedal steel, dobro, or banjo, Bill Huber on trombone, and Matt Slocum on cello.
Amongst the handful of my favorite albums of this century. 😉
