  • Thank you to our alpha patron Gail for picking this album to do for this month. This is the first 4 tracks (as i can only do 4 at a time or it will be blocked) and I am liking what they are putting down. The scope of the sound is just insane! Steve is so talented. I've heard a song or two from them on the radio but that is it. I look forward to the next four next week :)

    Steve is Les Paul’s godson. The list of people that taught him guitar is stunning.

    “Wild Mountain Honey” is another song that rests the soul. So pretty.

      I think what stands out for me in this song are the breaths, it turns a sweet song into something intimate, like lovers talking. Grown to really appreciate this one, great vocals.

    Steve is an old friend of Paul McCartney. In May '69 after a bad argument with John George and Ringo, Paul stayed behind at Olympic studios and worked with Steve miller who was recording an album. Paul collaborated and played on "My Dark Hour" under the pseudonym Paul Ramon (remember Ram On). Steve returned the favor recording guitar on three Paul tracks on Paul's 1997 album Flaming Pie: "Young Boy" If You Wanna" and co-wrote "Used To Be Bad" Specific info is in Flaming Pie liner notes. Great album; nominated for album of the year.

    One of the recording tricks he learned by experienced artists was that one gets royalties for every track on the album,and if you break a song up into 2 parts you can increase your income. Hence the beginning was made a separate track from this title song and simply titled 'Space intro". He did the same with the following album by splitting off the instrumental opening of "Jet Airliner" and titling it "Threshold". I can't recall who taught him that but I did see him say this in an interview some years back.

      Roger Waters did a similar thing with Pigs On The Wing. Splitting it up in 2 parts as bookends to the Animals album, and so increasing his royalties.

    The Millers moved from Milwaukee to Dallas when Steve was a kid, and he met Boz Skaggs at St. Marks School. Steve’s dad had a full recording studio attached to the house, and T-Bone Walker and Les Paul would come by along with many others. He had no choice but to be a guitar player! He also learned all about studio recording. I saw The Neville Brothers do a funky as hell, wonderful cover of “Fly Like An Eagle”.

    It would be impossible to calculate the amount of grass that was burned while listening to this album back in the day. Deeply underappreciated today. Great album. Nice memories.

    An album that never gets old. Perfect for listening to start to finish while doing yard work or just chilling with a beer. There isn't a bad song on the album. My favorite depends on my mood.

    Buffalo’s own Gary Mallaber… unique drumming style had a lot to do with Millers hit parade at the time. When 16 played solo jazz during a teen fashion show before a Stones show… big break when his band was recording in NYC and Van Morrison happened by, first used him on Moondance then a few more. Went on to prolific studio work and an array of major artists; Poco, Springsteen, Beach Boys, Lennon, Bob Seger, Eddie Money… great drummer.

    Steve's neighbor growing up was T.bone Walker pre- Chuck Berry invented the Duck-walk great blues player with big band late 40's early 50's! I wish You'd review "Brave New World!" Steve first album,starting with his first Hit "My dark Hour!"with Paul McCartney on background vocals!

    Don't worry, Lee. You'll have plenty of time for "space exploration" when you're in your 80's and 90's. That's how I look at it. 😅

    Wild Mountain Honey plays perfectly after Fly Like An Eagle. Trippy! It should be better well known. Your right you don't need to actually trip. That's what the music is for. It takes you on a trip

    But my favourite still remains 'Sailor ' , from 68? , an earlier incarnation of the band which includes 'Boz Scaggs' , anyone who doesn't know it I would advise to check it out immediately!!....

    You gotta go earlier. Steve had three persona's, Maurice, the joker,and the spacecowboy which he inter merced through out his songs. The joker was how he presented himself to the establishment. The space cowboy was the experimented with drugs,music life. And Maurice was his natural flamboyant self that was trying to create a new world. He thought he was a part of a revolution. Songs such as ",going to the country ",going to mexico","living in the usa" are scratching the surface of his early evolution. Deep dive recommended
