Steve Miller
Bingo!
(Road Runner/Space Cowboy)
Website: roadrunnerrecords.com
Steve Miller’s last official release may have been seventeen years ago but on his latest he practically sounds like he’s still basking in his 1970’s prime. “Bingo!” is a blues-rock covers album full stop but that shouldn’t relegate it to the water treading section of your local records store. The 66 year-old Miller is in fine form here and tasty licks abound within his trademark framework of happy-making tones and feel good vibes. No dark and dreary delta hollerin’ or Chicago barroom brawling to be found, just the man and his crack band rolling cheerfully through Jimmie Vaughan (“Hey Yeah”, “Sweet Soul Vibe”, “Don’t Cha Know”), Lowell Fulson (“Tramp”) and Jesse Hill (“Ooh Poo Pah Doo”) versions. A definite must for older fans.
