Synopsis

Product Description
Recorded at film producer George Lucas' infamous studios at Skywalker Ranch, 'Bingo!' is The Steve Miller Band's first studio album in 17 years.

'Bingo!' is the album Steve Miller has waited his entire life to make. Reaching back to his apprenticeship as a young man on the Chicago blues scene, Miller and co-producer Andy Johns brought classic rhythm and blues numbers that have been at the foundation of his music throughout his career into the 21st century.
A true return to Miller's roots, 'Bingo!' echoes his early years in the Chicago music scene and features carefully chosen and crafted blues tracks performed in distinctive Steve Miller Band fashion.
'Bingo!' was co-produced by Andy Johns (Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Van Halen), with artwork designed by the legendary Storm Thorgerson.

These recordings feature longtime Steve Miller Band member Norton Buffalo, who sadly passed away in 2009.

Special Edition contains 4 bonus tracks:

-Ain't That Lovin' You Baby
-Further On Up the Road
-Look On Yonder Wall
-Drivin' Wheel

Infectious, Driving, Souful Blues Showcasing Steve, Sonny an

"This band is hot!

Right now these guys are just about as good as entertainment gets. I've attended one concert each of the last two summers and this show is hot. Steve got legend Sonny Charles and this new band mixture has undeniably amped up the show, sound, and entertainment levels in perfect harmony for the benefit of the ear and audience. BINGO! sounds like it reflects the product of a true combination of hard work and fun that brings an actual 'new and improved Steve Miller Band' into this millennium with a sound that may not match exactly the style of his hits we've come to know, but none the less BINGO! will have you feeling good, dancing around, and singing these songs for many years to come.



This BINGO! offering give us this sort of honkey tonk, roadhouse, blues type, hard driving, toe tapping, "we're havin' fun and join in with us" kind of sound that will grab you and make you move with the music. Even with some voices that have a few years on them, kudos for the excellent vocal harmonizing to the band and Sonny gives an excellent vocal texture, quality and emotion that fits exactly to bring everything together with understood authenticity. The late, great Norton Buffalo provides his usual dose of the highest quality of musicianship for our pleasure on what would be his last of the many albums he contributed to.



This is an excellent CD that appeals to a wide range of listeners due to the basic instinctive likability of this music that keeps true to its blues base while still offering a little something for everybody.



Keep it up. We want more.......

"This will be short and sweet.....this album is fantastic. Every song on this CD is worth their weight in gold. Sonny Charles sharing some of the lead singing is great. Pay the extra and get the Special Edition CD for the 4 extra songs."
Thanks Steve
