Steve Miller:

Sailor:(1968)

Number 5:(1970)

Fly Like An Eagle:(1976)

Book of Dreams:(1977)

Yes, yes, we all know the hits this man has had. But, the first Steve Miller album I had, and was familiar with was Sailor. A Glyn Johns produced bit of psychedelia that is dream like, and subtle. Clearly it was created in a time before the band hit on their chart topping formula that would land them as a permanent fixture on radio for decades to come. However, by the mid-seventies the band had tidied themselves up to give us Take The Money and Run, and Jungle Love. I wouldn't say I'm a huge Steve Miller fan, but you put on a record of his, and I'm probably going to sing along, or at least think, 'damn, I dig this tune.'
