Everyone needs a little Buddy
The chances are Buddy Miller is in your CD collection and you might not even realise.
Buddy is a Nashville based record producer, musician, song-writer and vocalist. As well as releasing his own material he's appeared on albums by Lucinda Williams, Willie Nelson, Elvis Costello, Emmylou Harris, Solomon Burke and many more. Check out the credits on your favourite alt country CD's and you might find his name on the inlay.
We realised we play so much of his work on Another Country that we came up with a feature idea called "Where's Buddy?" to try and spot where he appears each week. Right now there's a long list of Americana artists waiting for Buddy Miller to produce their next album. This Friday night from 8pm on Another Country with Ricky Ross you'll hear a special programme featuring an interview with Buddy and another great artist, Patty Griffin. Patty was discovered and signed after playing in Boston coffee shops in the early 1990's. Since then her songs have been covered by Emmylou Harris, The Dixie Chicks, Linda Ronstadt, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Bette Midler, Solomon Burke and Susan Boyle.
Buddy and Patty have worked together many times and are both part of Robert Plant's group for his Band Of Joy album. It was during this tour that Ricky met and interviewed them both.
Here's a preview of Buddy talking about working with Robert Plant and Solomon Burke.
