Alt-country polymath Buddy Miller's UNIVERSAL UNITED HOUSE OF PRAYER was touted as his "gospel album," but that's only true in the loosest sense. While the content of all the songs is spiritual in nature (some less overtly than others), fans of what normally falls under the gospel umbrella might be in unfamiliar territory. The material comes from a wide variety of sources, from Bob Dylan (his early ballad "With God on Our Side") to the Louvin Brothers ("There's a Higher Power") and late singer/songwriter Mark Heard (opening track "Worry Too Much"). All the songs are delivered in Miller's trademark strong, soulful style, with his characteristic mix of country, rock, folk, and swampy blues. Released in 2004, when worldwide events had reached what seemed an unprecedented catastrophic state, HOUSE OF PRAYER arrived as a kind of spiritual balm, its overall vibe as warm and enveloping as its inclusionary title.

Recording information: 05/2004.
Rolling Stone (p.90) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Miller's voice is thick with nasal resonance, especially as he turns the Louvin Brothers' 'There's a Higher Power' into a righteous roots-gospel singalong."
Entertainment Weekly (p.74) - "Miller means to strike a cautionary not about misguided wartime zeal before resuming a mostly original set..." - Grade: A-
Uncut (p.116) - 4 stars out of 5 - "The pilgrim-soul of 'Is That You?' is breathtaking, while the tender 'Wide River To Cross' is a brittle duet with Emmylou Harris....Essential."

Universal United House Of Prayer album
 $11.59 
Buddy Miller's fourth solo release (fifth if you count 2001's collaboration with wife Julie Miller) slots comfortably into the established formula around which he's structured all of his albums. Lots of honky tonk infused into heartfelt ballads (Jesse Winchester's "A Showman's Life"), upbeat rockers (the Everly Brothers' "The Price of Love"), rural hillbilly ("Wild Card"), and a stray soul cover (Percy Mayfield's "Please Send Me Someone to Love"). Emmylou Harris, whose band he plays in, adds backing vocals. Wife Julie does as well, and also contributes four songs in addition to co-writing three others. Old pals like ...

WORLD WITHOUT TEARS was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. "Righteously" was nominated for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.
Though it's ultimately a less balladic, more stylistically varied album than its dreamy predecessor ESSENCE, WORLD WITHOUT TEARS starts out with a slow-burning, reverb-drenched ballad, but then takes a sharp turn into sensual lyricism, pounding drums, and churning guitar on "Righteously." ...

Universal United House Of Prayer songs
$14.59
For the first time in over two decades, Steeleye Span sounds like a bona fide band again. While their string of sporadic comeback albums from the past 20 years were generally decent (although not spectacular), they seemed to lack the intangibles that distinguish a true and cohesive group effort from a reformed assemblage that only half-heartedly recaptures their past glory. While only fiddler Peter Knight and guitarist Bob Johnson remain from that period, Bedlam Born is the closest Steeleye Span has come to recreating their '70s heyday. Bassist Tim Harries, who has been with them since 1989's Tempted and Tried, provides the most out-and-out rock & roll moment on this album with his electric guitar debut on "John Ditchford." At least three other tracks ("Well Done Liar," "The Beggar," and "We Poor Labouring Men") also display a noticeable rock angle that hearkens back to albums like Rocket Cottage and Parcel of Rogues. But this album is equally divided between the raucous and the reflective, the traditional and the contemporary; "Who Told the Butcher" and "Poor Old Soldier" with their electric piano accompaniment and Peter Knight lead vocals sounds ...
