Buddy Miller & Jim Lauderdale: Buddy & Jim

New West

When the U.S. Postal Service gets around to a Heroes of Americana stamp set, you can guarantee that both Buddy Miller and Jim Lauderdale will be among those honored. Both have been shaping the genre for a good couple of decades and their own friendship goes back longer than that; they even co-host a SiriusXM radio program. So it’s crazy that it took this long for them to make a record together but Buddy & Jim was worth waiting for. Harmonizing closely in Everlys/Louvins style and otherwise alternating on lead vocals, the pair runs through 11 country/rockabilly/honky-tonk tunes that touch down on song topics both familiar (“The Train that Carried My Girl from Town,” “Down South in New Orleans”) and quirky (“Vampire Girl”), all of which are tightly composed and expertly performed.
