Buddy Miller's 'Poison Love' Begins At Home

Buddy Miller has again returned to his living room to record the forthcoming "Poison Love," due August 19 on HighTone Records. Mainly recorded in the country musician's front room with his wife Julie, the album of stunning depth features vocals and music by such friends as Jim Lauderdale, Steve Earle, and Emmylou Harris. Apart from the gritty title cut, which was a hit for Johnnie & Jack in 1951, the raucous old Roger Miller/George Jones song "Nothing Can Stop Me," and an ethereal cover version of the Otis Redding hit "That's How Strong My Love Is," the album is all original material written by the two Millers and Lauderdale.
