Buddy Miller & Marc Ribot

At the Americana Music Awards ceremony in September 2015, Buddy as music director invited Marc to join him onstage to trade licks on the Hank Williams classic “Cold, Cold Heart.” The two later performed a full set for the Americana Music Festival, revisiting some of their Majestic Silver Strings material where “Ribot’s acerbic, R&B-influenced licks added bite to the material, and Miller matched him lick for lick. It was a great hour of music—Ribot took Americana in new directions, while Miller provided a link to the music’s past.” —Paste Magazine
