Buddy Miller's 'Universal United House Of Prayer' album gains accolades.
THE LATEST album by alt country pioneer Buddy Miller, 'Universal
United House Of Prayer', which was recently nominated for a Grammy in
the Best Southern, Country Or Bluegrass Gospel Album category, has now
been picked up for American Christian retail distribution. The album
has received numerous rave reviews. The New York Times said, "The
songs are ornery and awestruck all at once," while Christianity Today
which listed the album as one of the best Christian albums of 2004
praised the "gutsy and vulnerable lyrics that point to God as our one
true hope and salvation." One of the standout tracks on the album is
Miller's reading of the Bob Dylan classic "With God On Our Side". Said
Miller, "That song is over 40 years old and it's still just as
relevant. It's more of a song about people using God for whatever they
want to do."
