Breakdown On 20th Ave. South

Their first album together in nearly 10 years, Breakdown On 20th Ave. South is a collection of Julie Miller songs produced by Buddy Miller. Breakdown On 20th Ave. South is a first rate showcase for Julie's finely crafted lyrics. There is a line from the track "Spittin' on Fire" that best illustrates her sharp edged word play: "You're a dangerous little storm, one part cold and one part warm." The song "War Child" is a cry for help that usually goes unheard. A cry for help from thousands and thousands of children stolen from their families, forced to carry a gun at ages as young as 7 or 8. Never to see home again. Tracks like, "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" and "Everything Is Your Fault" hint at the ups and downs of love. The entire album is tied together by Buddy's unfussy production style. Breakdown On 20th Ave. South is a treat for long time fans of Buddy & Julie and a delightful discovery for new listeners.
