Buddy Miller Recovering From Heart Surgery

Buddy Miller, one of Nashville's most valuable players, is recovering in a Baltimore, Md. hospital, after apparently suffering a heart attack on Friday.

Nashville's Tennessean newspaper reports that the 56-year-old Miller was on tour with Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin and Shawn Colvin in a show dubbed '3 Girls and Their Buddy,' when he was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital. He underwent successful triple-bypass heart surgery and will likely be recovering in Baltimore for several weeks.

As a songwriter, among the artists Miller has penned tunes for are the Dixie Chicks, Lee Ann Womack and Brooks & Dunn. His producer credits include albums by Solomon Burke, Allison Moorer and Jimmie Dale Gilmore. During the past year, he toured as a featured instrumentalist in Robert Plant and Alison Krauss' band.

Miller is married to Nashville singer-songwriter Julie Miller. The pair have an album coming out March 3 on New West Records.

I wish him well and a speedy recovery. But i had a heart attack in 1979 and also had 2 quardruple bypass operations 1 in 1979 at the age of 45 and the second one in 2002. Noone put me in the news so why is it so important when a star has an operation. They are no differt than all the other poor people who are in the same boat
