Same Soil is a tribute to the fertile blues/roots tradition influencing David Michael Miller’s unique style, following the heels of his breakout album, Poisons Sipped. Co-produced, mixed and engineered by Grammy Nominated producer, Mike Brown, at Temperamental Studio (featured on American Pickers), over half of this album was tracked with pre-WWII instruments and using old mic’ing techniques. Along with the vintage equipment, David brought in a host of veteran players to bring the songs to life including keyboardist Jim Ehinger (Bonnie, Raitt, Albert Collins, Biller Vera and The Beaters), saxophonist Jason Moynihan (Buddy Guy) and drummer Carlton Campbell (of The Campbell Brothers). David explores songs inspired by Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, Bo Diddley as well as a blend of Americana, soul and gospel influences.
The album features songs that take the listener from hard driving acoustic blues, through greasy shuffles, gospel beats, slow moody ballads, on to funky blues rock and concluding with a heart wrenching song written to honor his grandfather who passed on during the recording of the album.
David is a veteran of the rich music scene of Buffalo, NY sharing the stage with many national acts including Tedeschi Trucks Band, James Cotton, Gary Clark Jr., Bobby Blue Bland, Joe Bonamassa, Jonny Lang and many more. He recorded two live albums with Buffalo based jam band, Dive House Union in 2011 and 2013, writing the majority of the material. Recently he formed a new band to support his music called, Miller and The Other Sinners, made up of Carlton and Darick Campbell of The Campbell Brothers, Jason Moynihan, Jim Ehinger and several elite Buffalo musicians.
