Buddy Miller and Jim Lauderdale are two of the pioneers of Americana. Their solo recordings, songwriting, studio session work and live performances (as front men and musical directors) have made them treasures of the roots and country music scene. In an unexpected moment of inspiration, the two have collaborated to make a true duets record, trading licks and verses for one of the most inspired and fun albums of 2012.

Not to overshadow the importance of Jim Lauderdale’s role in the group, it must be mentioned how significant of a role Buddy has played in the industry throughout his six decade career. Writing, recording, and performing with the likes of Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, Patty Griffin and Robert Plant, and being the winner of three Americana Music Association Album of the Year awards, being named Artist of the Decade by No Depression magazine in its 75th final issue, and being producer of a Grammy Award winning album in the category for best traditional gospel and co-producer/principal musician on a Grammy Nominated album in the Americana category have sown the seeds for an illustrious career with a number of accomplishments that are second to none.

His latest work with Jim is sure to add to his already storied career, as two of the pioneers of Americana strike again with an unforgettable album that’s sure to grip listeners as soon as the sound waves make contact with their eardrums.
