Buddy Miller has written some wonderful songs, including Watching Amy Dance (with Julie Miller), but I especially like to hear him sing older songs with that soulful voice of his. That's How I Got to Memphis was written by Tom T. Hall and Miller really wails on it. Here it is off his Love and Other Lies album -That's How I Got to Memphis and a live solo version that's too good not to include here Live . A couple of other favorites are his version of the Bob Wills classic Time Changes Everything, written by Wills' lead singer Tommy Duncan, which he performs here with Asleep at the Wheel- Time Changes Everything . Then we have One of These Days, written by Earl Montgomery, it was a hit for George Jones in 1972 and Emmylou Harris recorded an excellent version on her Elite Hotel LP. Miller performs it live on an Emmylou tribute album- One of These Days.

The aforementioned Tom T. Hall was a prolific song writer who wrote a bunch of Country Music hits but he also performed my favorite version of the Bluegrass standard Fox on the Run (flirting with a theme here), with banjo titan J.D. Crowe on the 5 string. The song was actually written by British songwriter Tony Hazzard and Manfred Mann had a hit with it in the UK in 1968/69 (not to be confused with a song of the same name that Sweet had a hit with), American Banjo player Bill Emerson heard it, rearranged it, recorded it with Cliff Waldron and then The Country Gentlemen (where I first heard it) and the rest is Bluegrass history, Fox on the Run.
