Julie and Buddy wrote some songs for the LP, including the original version of "Jesus in Your Eyes" (later re-recorded for Orphans and Angels).

Julie's musical career initially took off after singer Sam Phillips forwarded her demo tape to friends at Myrrh Records.

This album included backing vocals from Shawn Colvin, Victoria Williams, Amy Grant, Kelly Willard and Russ Taff.

Miller's second solo album He Walks Through Walls (1991) also included backing vocals from Colvin, Williams, Grant and Willard.

Her 1993 album Orphans and Angels included a duet with Emmylou Harris on "All My Tears", which was written after the death of Mark Heard.

In 1992, Julie provided the title track for Cry of the Heart: Emily's Eyes, an album released to bring hope to victims of child abuse.

Julie mentioned after a 2002 concert in Kentucky that the song "Emily's Eyes" had one line edited out of it, as there was concern regarding the "implications".

[2] Julie's composition, "By Way of Sorrow," was an inspiration for the tone of Cameron Crowe's movie Vanilla Sky but the song was not featured in the film.

[4] Julie and Buddy Miller teamed up with Victoria Williams, Mark Olson, and Jim Lauderdale for a European tour billed as "The Rolling Creek Dippers" in the 90s.

[7] They live in Nashville, where Buddy has set up a home studio on the main floor for music recording and production.
