Buddy Miller - Universal United House Of Prayers (New-West Records)

    If you ever have a chance to talk to Buddy Miller you'll find out several things about him.You'll find him to be a kind, thoughtful, talented and spiritual man. After a careful listen to his new solo release, The Universal House Of Prayer, he reveals these same characteristics.

    The CD opens with a powerful, soulful version of Mark Heard's -Worry Too Much-, then flows into
an old-timey Louvin Brothers track, -There's a Higher Power-. The third track, -Shelter Me- is a bluesy
gospel song, written by Buddy and his wife Julie. Just when you think that you have figured out this CD,
you realize that you're listening to a top-notch gospel album worthy of being nominated for a Grammy (which it was).

Then, Buddy turns the tables on you, by recreating a gorgeous rendition of Bob Dylan's -With God on Our Side.
Dylan wrote this during the post Cuban Missile Crisis days. A song written four decades ago and still relevant today. A message of peace, love and Christianity flows through this disc, along with a driving tent revival backbeat.
