Free Music Notes for Anthology

Free Music Review: Steve Miller Band Anthology, a must for blues/rock fans
Hit: 5 Stars

He has an honest sounding, baritone voice, not specatacular, but it does the job he's trying to do...make good music that doesn't have be shout/sung. It is especially effective when he does blues ballads, like many of the standard classics on this album, which when orginally realeased was a two LP set of their best songs from the late 60's to the early 70's which is when he still worked with now famous Boz Scaggs, which helped add a different feel to this album than his later work.

I don't have time or space to write about every single song on these albums, but I'll definately cover the highlights...although all of the songs are great in their own way.

'I Love You' is the romantic opener, subtle yet beautiful...simplistic, but I wish more rock would be like that...I think today's bands should follow Miller's example. Nice harmonica work

'Baby's House' has to be one of my favorites on this album.. you know me and my piano fetish, well this is a gentle mournful song that has this great piano solo in the middle...a little long...but like a great movie, you always wish it could last a little longer...the lyrics are bittersweet...

...

I don't care what I've heard other critics say. Steve Miller was inovative and didn't just copy other styles...that's why I wrote my own review because all of the cynics just smugly diss him, saying he was nothing but a cheap thrill in long technical terms. I strongly ugre this album to be in your music collection..second suggetion if you're new to Miller and want his greatest hits, buy The Steve MIller Band's Greatest Hits 1972-1978.
