Dia G 26.10.08 (2) - The Steve Miller Band - Sailor (1968 US)

Podemos diferenciar dos etapas en la cerrera de la Steve Miller Band

La primera la podemos situar en San Francisco durante finales de los 60's y primeros 70's en la escena Blues-Rock

La segunda desde mediados de los 70's y primeros 80's como unos de los grupos superventas de la escena Pop-Rock

El primero de los discos de la Banda "Children Of The Future" fue grabado en Londres y no tuvo repercusion, el segundo "Sailor" esta inpregnado de influencias

sicodelicas de la escena londinense de la epoca. El primer tema del disco "Song For Our Ancestors" preconiza la introduccion del tema Echoes de Pink Floyd.

Este disco ya tuvo exito

Notes: Part of the SF Bay area's blues revolution of the late sixties the Steve miller Band went on to heavy airplay in the seventies and eighties with their brand of radio friendly rock. But, this record hits home to where their roots lie. A nice selection of cover material and a few originals that have lasted the years. It always surprises me to remember how far back this band goes. A nice starting point for your Miller or Scaggs collection. Some nice looking guitars on the cover as well.

Line Up:

Steve Miller - guitar, harmonica, keyboards, synthesizer

Boz Scaggs - guitar, vocals

Tim Davis - drums, vocals

Jim Peterman - keyboards
