Buddy & Julie Miller is a 2001 album by Buddy and Julie Miller. Prior to this recording the husband and wife singer-songwriters had each made appearances on the other's solo recordings, but this disc marked their first official release as a duo. The music has been described as more rock based than their earlier, traditional-folk recordings.[1] The majority of the songs were penned by Julie and rounded out by the duo's co-write, "Dirty Water" and a few covers of songs by Richard Thompson, Utah Phillips and Bob Dylan.

The album was well received by critics and fans of Americana/folk music. It was named "Album of the Year" at the first annual awards of the Americana Music Association.[2] The album was the 17th most played recording of 2001 by FolkDJ-L DJs and the 4th most played disc in September 2001.[3] The album also reached the number two spot on the Freeform American Roots Chart.[4]
