Ep 15 Buddy Miller: Learning To Listen with Big Ears
“We’re all in this together.”
Buddy Miller is a true master. He’s not famous with the masses because he had a hit or two. He never bothered to commandeer the musical “flavor of the day.” Instead, he has spent his award-winning career as an artist, guitarist, songwriter, and producer, transcending trends, honoring history, pointing out beauty, and serving others well. On this episode, we visit Miller in his legendary home studio- the very space that has captured musical moments crafted by not only Buddy and Julie Miller, but Emmylou Harris, Jim Lauderdale, Robert Plant, Steve Earle, Carolina Chocolate Drops, The War and Treaty, and so many more. We talk about his earliest memories of music, how it captivated him, and how his professional path emerged. On the Jukebox, we survey Buddy’s various solo albums and collaborations.
What does it take to become a good listener? Buddy’s got “big ears,” as you’ll soon come to understand. With some discipline and effort, we might develop big ears, and big hearts, as well.
