This album helped define a style of rock music in the mid Seventies that had a soporific, dreamlike quality. Gary Wright’s “Dreamweaver,” Fleetwood Mac’s “Rhiannon,” Al Stewart’s “Year of the Cat,” Eagles’ “Hotel California,” and the list goes on. Steve Miller had shown an inclination for this sort of music in earlier albums, but Eagle reached new heights. The title track, which encapsulated a call for social change, was the space cowboy come down to earth to help mankind see the mess it was in. “Wild Mountain Honey” reiterated the need to step away from the material world, while “Serenade” was an out-of-body encounter that might have alluded to any number of things. In the two years since his last record, Miller had discovered synthesizers and (presumably) space pioneers like Jean-Michel Jarre and Brian Eno, though his exploration was more of a superficial venture. He’d also added drummer Gary Mallaber to the band, and together with longstanding bass player Lonnie Turner SMB was essentially a tight trio with Miller handling guitar and keyboards. More than half of the material comes from Miller himself, including a handful of throwbacks to the blues that have more in common with earlier albums like The Joker. All of which might make you see Fly Like An Eagle as a transitional record, except that it’s more like a quantum leap into a new world with one foot reluctant to leave.
