Awesome Song Alert: “Eliis County” – Buddy & Julie Miller
31 March 2009 in Awesome Song Alert, Blogroll, Music, Random, Video, You Tube, blah blah blahI love it when a song pops up on the Ipod, grabs me and forces me to hit repeat time and time again. “Ellis County” from Buddy & Julie Miller’s absolutely stellar disc, Written in Chalk has done just that. The fiddle that weaves in and out of the chorus effortlessly oozes a longing and rawness that matches the tone of the lyrics. When the Miller’s sing “Take me back to precious things my heart carries” or “Take me back to when our daddy let us sin on Sunday“, the song turns into a family photo album that hasn’t turned yellow with age, but has become a living, breathing document that will forever serve as a reminder of innocent times for this family. The vocals are also heart-tugging as they weave together just as effortlessly as the fiddle I mentioned earlier. It has been noted that the hubby-wife duo’s vocals are reminiscent of the makers of my favorite album of 2008, Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson. I think that’s fair to say for the female side of the equation for sure. As one would assume, I am not the only one that loves this song, either. Check it out for yourself!

[...] The Gobblers Knob Awesome Song Alert: “Ellis County” from Buddy & Julie Miller. [...]
Totally agree Ellis County blew me away.
Yeah, while I like the rest of the album, for me, there isnt any question what song will standout years from now. It’s right up there with the under-rated “Fire and Water” as my fave Buddy Miller track now..
[...] Carll told us about a girl that he liked, but wasnt going to get in “Beaumont”. Buddy & Julie Miller filled us in on what made moments of their past so precious, and with Paul Eason’s “The Mountains of [...]
