STEVE MILLER BAND "Brave New World" MINT CANADIAN PRESS
UNPLAYED REISSUE (1979) - SUPERB LP, SENSATIONAL AUDIO
THE STEVE MILLER BAND
Brave New World
CANADIAN CAPITOL (SN-16078) RE-ISSUE (1979) OF THE STEVE MILLER BAND'S SENSATIONAL THIRD LP FROM 1969, "Brave New World" IN UNPLAYED CONDITION DELIVERING MINT AUDIO THROUGHOUT (ON MY SYSTEM - AT A LOUD VOLUME!) - FANTASTIC COPY - VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED INDEED AND IT FEATURES Paul McCartney on backing vocals, drums and bass guitar on "Celebration Song" and "My Dark Hour" (credited as Paul Ramon)
Blasting out of stereo speakers in the summer of 1969, Brave New World was more fully realised, and rocked harder, than the Steve Miller Band's first two albums. From the opening storm of the uplifting title track to the final scorcher, "My Dark Hour," featuring Paul McCartney (credited as "Paul Ramon"), this recording was their strongest project so far.
"Can't You Hear Your Daddy's Heartbeat" sounds like it was lifted right off of Jimi Hendrix's Are You Experienced, and "Got Love 'Cause You Need It" also has a Hendrix-ian feel.
"Kow Kow" is a wonderfully oblique song featuring Nicky Hopkins' distinctive piano style. Hopkins' piano coda on that song alone is worth the price of this album.
"Space Cowboy," one of several songs co-written with Ben Sidran, defined one of Miller's many personas.
"Seasons," another Sidran collaboration, is a beautifully atmospheric, slow-tempo piece.
Steve Miller's guitar playing is the star of this album, blazing across the whole affair more prominently than on any other release in his lengthy career; many of the songs have a power trio feel.
In addition to the fine guitar work, Miller's vocals are stronger here, and during this era in general, than they would be in his hit-making days in the mid-'70s, when he was much more laid-back and overdubbed.
Ever the borrower, adapter, and integrator, Steve Miller shapes the blues, psychedelia, sound effects, sweet multi-tracked vocal harmonies, and guitar-driven hard rock into one cohesive musical statement with this release.
