Miller readies new CD with Frisell, Ribot, Leisz

The Miller-produced CD is his re-imagination of country songs, loaded with guitars, atmosphere and attitude. Guest vocalists on the album include Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin, Lee Ann Womack, Chocolate Genius, Ann McCrary and wife Julie Miller. Rounding out the band are Dennis Crouch on bass and Jay Bellerose on drums.

A bonus DVD with concert footage of the first, and only performance to date with the four principals playing the tracks selected for this project, will be included with the CD.

The musicians re-interpret classic country songs written by Lefty Frizzell, Roger Miller and George Jones, whose hit Why Baby Why is sung by Miller. The band also tackles a few traditional compositions and several new songs including God's Wing'd Horse, written by Julie Miller and Frisell.
