The Steve Miller Band: "Greatest Hits, 1974-78"


Released in 1978.
Some of the best party music EVER!

It is a little disturbing to me that this LP
is rapidly approaching
FORTY (40) years
since its release.

I think I'll observe a moment of silence.

And then
CRANK THIS PUPPY UP
and dance my sox off!

The Steve Miller Band: "Book of Dreams"


Released in 1977,
this was their twelfth (12th) studio LP.

It's hard for me to imagine there is anyone out there
who has not heard most of this music,
but if you really are one who has not yet enjoyed these tunes
DO NOT waste any more time!
Go get these tracks -
especially
"Jet Airliner"
"Swingtown"
"The Stake"
"Jungle Love"
"True Fine Love"

Get started on the history of The Steve Miller Band HERE.



Love this album.
Love the tunes.
Love the art.
