Biography

The Steve Miller Band has gone through a number of chameleonic changes over the decades. Miller started out as a blues-obsessed guitarist and led his band through a series of classic dreamy psychedelic albums in the '60s. Later in the '70s, he adopted a more accessible, slightly blues-inflected pop-rock hook bonanza and hit commercial paydirt with hits such as "The Joker" and "Fly Like an Eagle". In the early '80s he briefly took on a new wave tinge--and even topped the charts with the synthy "Abracadabra"--before returning once more to his blues-rock roots.
