Buddy & Julie Miller

Buddy & Julie Miller is an American duo comprising husband and wife singer-songwriters Buddy Miller and Julie Miller. Prior to their eponymous 2001 album, each had made appearances on the other's solo recordings, but this disc marked their first official release as a duo. The album is described as more rock-based than their earlier solo traditional-folk recordings. The majority of the songs were penned by Julie Miller and rounded out by the duo's co-written "Dirty Water" and covers of songs by folk-rock icons Richard Thompson, Utah Phillips and Bob Dylan. The album was named "Album of the Year" at the first annual awards of the Americana Music Association. Since then, the duo has released "Love Snuck Up" (2004) and "Written in Chalk" (2009).
