	Buddy Miller Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Buddy's songwriting is amplified by a strong group of collaborators.
		On "Is That You," Buddy addresses God directly, his voice hushed and reverent, his words conversationally inquisitive: "Did you wear a crown, and was it made of thorns?Did you go down to Hell and back for me?" Here is a guileless soul standing humbly before an awesome mystery.
		Buddy's singularity is in his willingness to subordinate his extravagant technical gifts to a specific program: the creation of a music that is purposefully personal, naturally eccentric, and spiritually substantial.

	Country Standard Time: Buddy Miller, November 2004
		That is the essence of Miller, apologizing for an inadvertent inconvenience.
		Miller's original intention was to create an album that synthesized his rootsy country ethic with a decidedly gospel tangent, but his sense of disquietude about the state of the planet changed the focus of "House of Prayer."
		Perhaps Miller's most important message on the album is found in its title, taken from the name of an actual but now defunct church located in east Nashville pictured on the album's cover.

	SoundStage! Buddy Miller - Cruel Moon
		Julie co-wrote all of Buddy’s original songs (six of the album’s 11 tracks, plus one which she wrote by herself) and sang on three of them as well, although I imagine she was present, Yoko-like, for the entire recording.
		Buddy Miller’s guitar work is tasteful and understated, and he has surrounded himself with some excellent musicians and singers (including such alt.country regulars as Emmylou Harris, for whom he plays guitar in her band; Steve Earle; and Jim Lauderdale).
		Buddy’s voice is a bit reedy and has a pronounced country twang (odd for someone who grew up in New Jersey), which results in a unique sound when he harmonizes with Julie’s schoolgirl-on-helium warble.

	SoundStage! Buddy Miller - Midnight and Lonesome
		Miller and his wife, the singer and songwriter Julie Miller, do work at home -- their house is more studio than lodgings, and Midnight and Lonesome, like most of their output, was recorded there.
		Buddy Miller wrote or co-wrote four of the disc's 11 songs, his wife accounts for another four, and the covers include Curtis Mayfield's "Send Me Someone to Love," the Everly Brothers' "The Price of Love," and an exquisite rendering of Jesse Winchester's "A Showman's Life" that would make a marble statue weep.
		Miller has incorporated the high-lonesome sound of real country into a contemporary vocabulary that includes Percy Mayfield's decidedly urban sensibility as well as the strum and twang of Nashville.

		Take, for instance, his latest Grammy-nominated album, "Universal United House of Prayer," which offers further proof of why Miller is one of the most respected musicians working in a town where there are more song stylists per square mile than anywhere else on the planet.
		Miller prefers to think of the work as merely the creative outcome of what he says has been "a real tough last couple of years" for him and for his wife and collaborator, singer-songwriter Julie Miller.
		Miller's spellbinding "Is That You?" (co-written with Julie) takes a far more humble tack, seeking knowledge and truth from a mysterious, all-knowing deity that he knows is under no obligation to answer him back.

	The Austin Chronicle Music: Behind the Scenes
		Buddy Miller's story goes back to the Sixties, when he got his feet wet by playing stand-up bass in bluegrass outfits.
		In effect, though, anything by either of them will be a Buddy and Julie Miller effort, with the cross-pollination that goes on between his playing and production and her songwriting and vocals.
		Julie Miller's secular material is still imbued with her spirituality; her views on Christianity and her own personal beliefs are as honest and unpretentious as the rest of her songwriting.

		Julie Miller writes or co-writes seven of the eleven songs on this album, and six of them should be classics.
		Buddy Miller's voice is never without depth and cunning, and he has learned to wield it like a straightrazor when he needs to.
		I'm not saying that Buddy Miller has the voice of Ray Charles or Solomon Burke, both perfect R&B singers who sang the shit out of C&W songs, or even Whitney Houston covering Dolly Parton, but there are times during this song when it doesn't matter.

		Miller effortlessly walks the line between the genre's styles, all the while stamping them with his own unique Americana trademark.
		Buddy Miller's fourth solo release (fifth if you count 2001's collaboration with wife Julie Miller) slots comfortably into the established formula around which he's structured all of his albums.

	Buddy & Julie Miller Discography -- Slipcue.Com Guide To Hick Music
		Buddy Miller, of course, has considerable roots and country chops, and the mousy-voiced and mildly nutty Julie Miller has a rather distinctive tone as a songwriter.
		Most of the other songs are Miller originals, with co-writers that include his wife Julie as well as Jim Lauderdale and Victoria Williams, and while his exploration of his own faith is fascinating, it doesn't lend itself to the embrace of those who look to religion for easy answers.
		Buddy and Julie Miller's website includes bios, tour info, snapshots of their equipment-cluttered living room, and of their cute kittie-kats, too.

		Buddy's reputation and notoriety since that interview have risen steadily, as a guitarist and singer, a songwriter and producer.
		But to the people who know him or have worked with him, it's who he is that is equally mindblowing, and what truly accounts for the high esteem in which he and his music are held by so many.
		I mention to Buddy in the interview the incredible bio that insurgent Country artist Robbie Fulks wrote on him for New West Records, a superior label.

		Songs by musicians about being musicians are traditionally a rather hollow exercise, but Miller succeeds by avoiding "Gee, it's hard to be on the road and still write a good tune" navel-gazing, focusing instead on the same soul-searching angst that many people felt after the attacks.
		On "Wild Card," the Millers duet on a love song that could have been recorded by any number of '50s honky-tonkers, and the album's closer, "Quecreek," is a spooky throwback to the old-fashioned topical story-song (about a Pennsylvania mining disaster that happened a few months before the disc came out).
		Powerful records like this show why the Millers, whether high-rolling on Music Row or hauling their own amps into your local neighborhood dive, are at the heart of modern country music.

		When Buddy Miller released his debut album, Your Love and Other Lies, two years ago, it didn't cause as much as a ripple in the music world.
		Thanks to his gig with Emmylou, Miller is assured of causing at least a ripple this time around, and like its predecessor, this album is good enough to cause a wave.
		Miller writes killer songs, picks the heck out of the guitar, and sings with a voice straight out of a 1957 West Texas honky-tonk.

	Buddy Miller, 11/12 - Interviews - Christian Music Today
		Buddy Miller has long been a man of faith, but he hasn't often sung about it, just hinting at it here and there on his critically acclaimed alt-country/roots rock albums.
		Miller, 51, has long been hailed as one of the world's better guitar players; indeed, Emmylou Harris noticed that a decade ago and invited him to join her band, Spyboy.
		We got them over to the studio [in the Millers' house], and I meant for half of the record to be whatever that sloppy country thing I do is, and the other half be sort of string bandish with their vocals.

	Rockzillaworld Buddy Miller "Universal United House of Prayer" By Bonny Holder
		Miller's a Christian all right, but even in his most devotional, (the Louvin Brothers' "There's A Higher Power"), he manages to include a world-view spirituality that, I think, most people can feel comfortable with.
		Buddy is a powerful singer as well as a guitar god.
		In a time when peace and love are bubbling on the back burner of modern society, Buddy Miller and his "universal united house of prayers" lifts you right up.

		Miller's difference in aesthetics is readily apparent — and he likes to work, not in some impersonal state-of-the-art studio but at Dogtown Studio, which happens to be in the basement of the Millers' turn-of-the-century Nashville home.
		Buddy, Julie, and old friend Jim Lauderdale worked on "When It Comes to You", one of the album's most interesting track, a piece of country funk, complete with boasting, a nice funky sound, and an instrument that's rare these days, the optigan, which is part optical disc player, part organ.
		Miller remembers, "The record was done — I think I had another song in there in the last position — and the record was late being turned in.

		It's also what Miller was hoping to do musically with his latest album after deciding that, while he still didn't like wearing either his politics or faith on his sleeve, it was time to put some of it into an album.
		Born Steven Miller, the son of an Air Force aeronautics engineer, he was tagged with the nickname Buddy as a kid "and it just stuck," said Miller, 52.

	Pro Techniques from Buddy Miller
		The quote applies to everything the talented and respected Miller does, be it producing a new artist, writing a new song, playing "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" songs on the road with Emmylou Harris, or running a late-night Pro Tools edit session in his 1902-built home.
		Buddy was voted best guitarist by the Nashville Music Awards in 1999, and last year's Buddy and Julie Miller — recorded and mixed entirely within Pro Tools — received a Grammy nomination, as well.
		Miller first ran the acoustic guitars in the beautifully sparse song "Forever Has Come to an End," from Buddy and Julie Miller through the "Class A Rev 2" preset in AC-1, then ran those and the song's lush, layered harmony vocals into AC-2's "Japanese T" setting.

		Miller is not exactly toiling in the obscurity that seems to pertain to most acts that fall into that amorphous and largely ignored classification.
		Miller and songwriter Bill Mallonee have written what may be the subtlest 9/11 song yet in "Water When the Well Is Dry." Coming from a man who has been involved in the movement to ban land mines makes the sentiments all the more meaningful.
		Miller puts a mean edge on the track with his growling vocal and lets his guitar do the rest of the damage.

		Buddy and Julie Miller may be a bunch of tracks thrown together to appease the throngs clamoring for a duo project, rather than the revelation some had hoped, but it still serves as an energetic simulacrum of their shows and will do just fine until the next Buddy and/or Julie Miller record.
		In my opinion, Julie Miller isn't that great as a singer since her voice becomes rather boring and even whining in the long run - in small doses she's so much better.
		Julie Miller's "Forever Has Come To An End" shows off her songwriting chops on the subject of love beyond redemption.
