Cayamo cruise recordings coming soon

Monday, November 23, 2015 – An annual Carribean cruise featuring country, Americana, folk and roots music artists ranging from Buddy Miller to Kacey Musgraves will make it to recorded versions of songs heard on the cruise on Buddy Miller & Friends' "Cayamo Sessions at Sea," out Jan. 29, 2016 on New West.

For one week country, Americana, folk and roots music songwriters head for the sear on the Cayamo cruise.

Over the last few years, Miller set up a recording studio on the ship and recorded and played with everyone from veteran songwriters to emerging artists. The result will be a disc of 11 songs.

Rolling Stone Country premiered Miller and Lane's rendition of the Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner classic, "Just Someone I Used To Know."

In 2012, Miller brought along recording gear and set up a studio in the ship's library where he and co-host Jim Lauderdale recorded episodes for their SiriusXM Outlaw Country Buddy & Jim Radio Show. They recorded their debut episode with Lucinda Williams.

In 2014, he brought more gear, an engineer and musicians and set up a temporary recording studio between the lanes of a bowling alley. For two days and nights, a who's who of artists came to record while fans watched on. He did it again on the 2015 cruise.

The album kicks off with back-to-back duets as Miller trades verses with Lee Ann Womack on the Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty country classic, "After The Fire Is Gone," followed with Kacey Musgraves on Buck Owens' "Love's Gonna Live Here." Kris Kristofferson offers his signature song, "Sunday Morning Coming Down" as Miller's baritone guitar rings throughout.

Other recordings include Nikki Lane and Miller on Jack Clement's timeless Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner weeper, "Just Someone I Used To Know," Lucinda Williams' rendition of Gram Parson's "Hickory Wind," Richard Thompson's reimagining of Hank Williams' "Wedding Bells" and Shawn Colvin's take on the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses." Miller joins Brandi Carlile, and The Lone Bellow on John Prine's "Angel From Montgomery."

CD reviews for Buddy Miller

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.

CD review - The Majestic Silver Strings Buddy Miller is one of Nashville's finest guitarists. He's also a tasteful player. Therefore, while "Buddy Miller's The Majestic Silver Strings" may read like a guitar lover's dream, this is not just an excuse for Miller - along with his fellow guitar stars, Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot and Greg Leisz - to show off on said silver strings. In fact, this album is as much about great (mostly) female singing, as it is about string bending. For instance, it's such a ...
Buddy Miller has always been on the outskirts of mainstream country music, mixing influences from gospel to blues to bluegrass and hanging out with folks like Jim Lauderdale and Emmylou Harris. He continues to march to the beat of a different drummer on this, his first true gospel album. He sets the record up with a dark electric rocker, "Worry Too Much," in which he frets about the problems with the world. In the next song, a bright acoustic reading of the Louvin Brothers' "There's a Higher ...
