If you do not own the complete Buddy Miller catalog, this is a great starter set and will get you hooked. His voice is addictive, his songs are the best Americana around -- better even than Steve Earle (I know, that's hard to believe, but trust me.) The arrangements are the right kind of minimal -- I always feel like I am listening to a first take. Get this! You'll enjoy singing along.

I keep finding out more and more about this great songwriter. He and his wife are the masters of lonesome country harmonies. And the songs he has written . . . . You'll know most of them. Well worth buying.
