So I get a call a few weeks ago on a friday around 5:00 PM from Bill
V. He's got tickets to see a band I've never heard of that night,
down at the Tin Angel in Philly. The band is Buddy
and Julie Miller. He's right, I've never heard of them,
and he basically had to drag me there (as if I had anything else going
on anyway).
After seeing the
show, all I can say is WOW! I'm totally into this band. It turns out
Buddy Miller has played with Steve Earle, and that's a good comparison
of the style of music. Julie is cute, has a very sultry voice, and
was also a goof and a lot of fun on stage. The perfect girl.
They were selling
their 6 CDs (as solo artists and together) after the show, and of
course Bill V has 5 of them already. He buys the one he's missing.
I wait until the next day to buy this album. My initial favorite song,
at both the show and on the CD, is You Make My Heart Beat Too Fast,
which Julie described as sort of their "wild thing" takeoff.
It's very cool! Check out this band. I can't wait to see them in concert
again.
