Millers release "Don't Make Her Cry"
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.
