Buddy and Julie Miller have been writing and making music together since they first met and married over 20 years ago. Whether the end result was a Buddy rocord or a Julie record, they couldn't help but collaborate and influence each other's work. New West is excited to release their latest, WRITTEN IN CHALK, a true collaboration. The musical synergy this couple has with each other is clear on the record and is rounded out with a thoughtful country-soul vibe, emotional lyrics, outstanding musicianship and of course, Buddy's extraordinary guitar playing. Guests on the record include Robert Plant, Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, Regina and Ann McCrary and Larry Campbell. The record was recorded at the couple's home studio in Nashville, TN.

Our own "George & Tammy" of the alternative Berkeley sect. Have been waiting for the New West debut for some time. I'm a bit frightened about Robert Plant's involvement; hopefully it's minimal. Nothing against the man or his body of work, but he's always trying to align himself with communities of musicians from California as if he'd wished he was an original component instead of an import from soggy England.
