The Steel Guitar Forum

My personal favorite for a while now. His music is all I listen to on the trains and subways to and from work. He is the best singer I've heard, since George and Merle.

And Al Perkins plays so beautifully on a lot of his stuff, as well as another picker on an old Fender pedal steel -- sorry I don't have his name. Al plays a keyless guitar -- Anapeg FWIW. Sounds great...

Why isn't he and his wife on the radio more? Guys like him give steel players a chance to have a job.

He is playing north of you Bobby-san up past Willits at the Kate Wolf Festival. And here I'm stuck in Tokyo, when he is playing so near my old home town...<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Tom Quinn on 14 June 2006 at 10:16 PM.]</p></FONT>

Do you know who the band is with him at those June 23-26 dates?

Certainly one of my favorites also. Opened up for someone he was playing with several years back (I think it was Monte Warden) - also a nice guy with a shared love of cool off-kilter guitars and Magnatone amps.

Why isn't he on the radio more? Well, it's about as close to real country music as you'll find these days, IMO, but with lots of other cool influences also. That seems to be a problem right at the moment. But if that ever turns around, I think Buddy would be poised to hit the big time. We can always hope, right?

Tom and Dave,I agree 100% ! The most underrated artist in the entire country-music scene. N o b o d y in my whole life moved me like Buddy and Julie do, honestly. Buddy is a kind of universal genius to me - as a singer, guitarplayer, songwriter and producer. They definately deserve much more attention !!
(doing the best I can over here in Europe)
As Steve Earle mentioned: Buddy Miller is the greatest countrysinger alive. Nothing to add.

Steve Fishell on a Fender 400. Sneeeeaky sounding......
