“In The Throes” was produced by Buddy Miller and features Emmylou Harris, Regina McCrary, Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams, Gurf Morlix, and Matt Slocum of Sixpence None the Richer. The 12-song album follows 2019’s “Breakdown on 20th Ave. South”, which was Buddy & Julie Miller’s first album in a decade.
“In the Throes” is a deeply soulful collision of dusty country, mournful gospel, cosmic blues, and ecstatic R&B. It sounds lively and diverse, eccentric and slightly askew, thorny with desire and blame. The fearless collection came to life during an intensely creative period for Julie. She says, “I got deep into songwriting mode, and they just kept coming along.” Buddy watched with wonder and admiration as his wife filled up notebooks with lyrics and recorded voice memos with melodies.
By his count, she ended up with more than one hundred songs—some of them fully written, others simply fragments. Julie wrote every song on the album with the exception of “Don’t Make Her Cry”, which is a rare co-write between Bob Dylan, Regina McCrary and Julie.”
