The Steve Miller Band – Let Your Hair Down
Loud and Proud Records
www.stevemillerband.com

Rating: B

On April 19th Steve Miller will release the second in a series of albums featuring remakes of old blues standards. The first release, Bingo, went to the top of the Blues charts and there is no reason to think that Let Your Hair Down won’t follow in its predecessor’s footsteps.

The cover art for both albums was created by the famous Storm Thorgerson and sets the tone for the fun to follow. “Snatch It Back and Hold It” starts the album off with a swinging, bluesy rhythm that gets one in the mood for the blues. “Close Together,” “Sweet Home Chicago” and “Love the Life I Live” are all recreated and handled with care by Miller. The tune, while bluesy in nature, all have that famous Steve Miller vibe. “No More Doggin’” is a great song that would have fit in to the track list of Street of Dreams.

The album also features the final recorded notes by Miller’s longtime sidekick and friend, Norton Buffalo, who sadly passed away.
