Free Music Notes for Book of Dreams
Free Music Review: Etherial
Hit: 5 Stars
I remember when this album came out. I was working in a furniture store and when not assembling was delivering all sorts of chairs and tables and so on. I still remember a drive we made in the delivery van that took us on the road for a couple hours. We listened to this album in its entirety. It was great road music and cemented my memory of that summer.
As I comb through my LP collection and burn CDs that then get dumped into my iPod, I sometimes find that I am missing music that for one reason or another, I never had, or perhaps had on (gasp) 8-track or cassette tape. It would have to be a pretty hard-to-find album for me to justify plugging in the tape machine and burning to CD, not to mention "settling" for a lower-quality result.
My personal standard for buying CDs is to avoid buying any that I have in good condition on LP. If the LP is damaged or the recording is new, I will go for the CD. The other exception to the "rule" is for offerings that contain substantial or in some other way "must have" content not present on the LP.
This album easily qualified for purchase on CD since I had no copy of it to begin with. I bought it along with "Fly Like an Eagle" and "The Joker", seeking to complete my collection of essential Steve Miller Band recordings.
Clearly there are other works that reach deeper into the past and touch the present but for me these albums, and this one in particular hold the essence of what Steve Miller is about.
All the radio hits are here (Jet Airliner, Swingtown, True Fine Love, Jungle Love). Some of them perhaps overplayed but still good to hear. Then there are the less often heard gems like "Winter Time", Wish Upon a Star" and "Sacrifice") that speak to a different side of Steve Miller. It was as much for these tunes that I wanted this album as any of the more well known tracks.
