It was one of the best memories I have from my first year. It was unbelievable to have a finish like that with Claire (Crippen) and Liz (Shaw) and Riley (Flanagan) all right there with me.
Meredith Cavalier started the day for us with an amazing swim that just pumped everybody up and I went out and just raced. Every day (at ACCs) it was 0-0 and that’s how we took it, but that day we were on fire. Naurath: I can’t really even tell you what I was thinking during the race. Question: What was the feeling of winning your first individual ACC championship in the 200 butterfly? Swimming in the championship meets – at ACCs and NCAAs – doesn’t even compare to the high school meets. It was a tough year practices were challenging but I enjoyed them a lot. I am excited for this year because I know what to expect. Second semester, my grades were a lot better and it was easier going forward. It took me a semester to get in the swing of things. It was a little more challenging than I first thought because I had no idea what to expect as far as classes and schoolwork. Question: How was your first year at UVa? Naurath recently sat down with to talk about the end of her freshman season and her trip to China. She competed for Team USA at the World University Games in China in August, one of four Cavaliers at the meet, joining Matt McLean, David Karasek and Katya Bachrouche. Sophomore swimmer Rachel Naurath finished her freshman campaign as the ACC champion in the 200 butterfly and a honorable mention All-American in the 500 freestyle, as well as the lead-off swimmer for Virginia’s conference champion and All-America 800 freestyle relay team.

Miller and Ribot duet on a barely contained stomping four-guitar read of the George Jones classic "Why Baby Why." Julie and Frisell wrote the closer, "God's Wing'ed Horse," which is arguably the most nakedly tender, moving piece on the record. Womack contributes two fine vocals: in the forlorn, gauzy "Meds" (written by Ribot) and the heartbreaking "Return to Me," which aches with longing it's underscored by lovely acoustic work from Ribot on a nylon-string guitar, Miller playing baritone and rounded off by Leisz's steel with Frisell comping. Elizabeth Cotten's standard "Freight Train" is given a shuffling yet swinging rag treatment with all four guitar players trading fours and eights. The reading of Roger Miller's "Dang Me" is radical: Chocolate Genius takes the vocal, making it slippery and silvery atop a spooky, swampy nocturnal blues. Lefty Frizzell's "I Want to Be with You Always" boasts gorgeous guitar slinging, but is eclipsed by the sensual vocal duet between Griffin and Miller. The spunky "No Good Lover" is a swinging blues with Frisell and Ribot trading licks before McCrary duets with Miller. Frisell and Leisz play waltz-time intertwining leads as Ribot adds a requinto and Miller a mandoguitar through a lengthy intro before adding his grainy, crooning voice.
The dreamy opening notes of "Cattle Call" (inextricably linked with the legendary Eddy Arnold) make it obvious that something special is unfolding. The program is a revisioning of tunes from country's canon that sound timeless against the original material. The four guitar players are joined variously by guest vocalists including Griffin, Julie Miller, Shawn Colvin, Emmylou Harris, Lee Ann Womack, and Ann McCrary, and the rhythm section of drummer Jay Bellerose and bassist Dennis Crouch. For The Majestic Silver Strings, Miller recruited guitarists Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot, and Greg Leisz to join him on a program of classic country songs and a couple of originals. He does far more performing and producing, the latter including Patty Griffin's Downtown Church and Robert Plant's Band of Joy offerings. Buddy Miller records as a frontman sparingly - the last time was in 2009 with wife Julie Miller on the stellar Written in Chalk.
