Millers release "Don't Make Her Cry"

Wednesday, August 2, 2023 – Buddy and Julie Miller released today "Don't Make Her Cry," a song from their forthcoming disc, "In The Throes," out Sept. 27 on New West Records.

Julie wrote every song on the album with the exception of "Don't Make Her Cry," which is a co-write between Bob Dylan, Regina McCrary, and Julie.

Buddy Miller said, "'Don't Make Her Cry' were the words Regina McCrary's father, Rev. Sam McCrary, said to Bob when they met at a Nashville show in 1978 shortly after she joined his band. Three decades later, they finally wrote lyrics to the song together in Huntsville, Ala. When it came to writing the music, Bob said to Regina, 'give it to Buddy Miller.' I then passed it to Julie, who added more lyrics, moved others around and set it to music."

The 12-song set was produced by Buddy Miller and features Emmylou Harris, Regina McCrary, Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams, Gurf Morlix, and Matt Slocum of Sixpence None the Richer. "In The Throes" follows their 2019 "Breakdown on 20th Ave. South," which was the Millers' first album in a decade. Named "Artist of the Decade" by No Depression, and "Instrumentalist of the Year" multiple times by the Americana Music Association, Buddy Miller is a highly sought after producer and guitarist who has worked with Willie Nelson, Linda Ronstadt, Robert Plant, Elvis Costello, John Fogerty, Solomon Burke, Frank Black of the Pixies, Steve Earle and more. He also joined T Bone Burnett on the musical team working on the hit ABC-TV series Nashville, and following Burnett's departure, became the show's Executive Music Producer. Alongside Jim Lauderdale, Buddy is also the co-host of The Buddy & Jim Show on Outlaw Country, SiriusXM. Julie Miller is a critically acclaimed solo artist whose debut album was released in 1990. A brilliant songwriter, Julie's songs have been recorded by Levon Helm, Solomon Burke, Little Jimmy Scott, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Miranda Lambert, Dierks Bentley, Wynonna Judd, Lee Ann Womack, Dianna Krall, and countless others. Between the two, they have a Grammy Award and several nominations, 13 Americana Music Association Awards, and scores of gold and platinum records from other artists who have cut their songs.

CD review - In The Throes Buddy Miller and Julie Miller, that unusual Americana power couple, don't sound like they're particularly in the kind of throes suggested by this "In The Throes" album title. There's a lot of hope – especially gospel message hope – contained on the married couple's strong album. While Buddy Miller may now be the best-known member of the pair – for his fine guitar playing and production work – Julie Miller is also a strong songwriter, which ...
CD review - Breakdown on 20th Ave. South "Breakdown on 20th Ave. South is significant in a number of ways. For starters, it marks Julie Miller's return to making music after an absence of 10 years. For another, it finds her collaborating once again with her ever prolific husband Buddy Miller, a man who's spent the last several years plying his craft as a bandleader, producer and helmsman for other artists. The two frequently worked together in the past, but this marks their first collaborative project in a decade and the ...
CD review - Cayamo Sessions at Sea Buddy Miller has done a lot in the music business. He's been a Nashville session player, a record producer, the musical director for the frothy, but entertaining, "Nashville" TV show. He does a weekly satellite radio with the talented, but dyspeptic, Jim Lauderdale. For the last few years, Miller has been a featured artist on one of a proliferating series of mid-Winter music cruises. Miller goes on the Cayamo cruise, generally in late January. The "Cayamo Sessions At ...
