apres 17 ans de mutisme steve miller sort un nouvel album " bingo " des reprises de blues , et il vient nous rendre visite le 14 octobre au zenith de paris ,que du bonheur

Mouais, mais c'est un album qui n'ajoutera pas grand chose à sa légende. Bien foutu, co-produit par Steve Miller et Andy Johns, mais sans grande originalité. Du boogie, du blues et aussi du funk nickel chrome. Jimmie Vaughan a signé quelques titres.
Et c'est une durée de disque à l'ancienne...

Co-produced by Steve Miller and engineer Andy Johns (Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix), BINGO! is the first of two albums recorded at George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch. The sessions introduced new band member Sonny Charles a veteran vocalist of the Checkmates who will also be on the road this summer with Miller. These were the final sessions by harmonica player and vocalist Norton Buffalo, Miller's "partner in harmony" for 33 years, who died of cancer in October 2009.
On Bingo! Miller has spiced some of the tracks with the Latin percussion battery of conga player Michael Carabello, founding member of Santana, and timbales ace Adrian Areas, son of Carabello's partner from the original group, Jose "Chepito" Areas.
Guitarist Joe Satriani traded solos on "Rock Me Baby" and "Sweet Soul Vibe" with Miller, whose brilliant guitar playing was a major feature of the sessions.
BINGO! will be released in 2 formats: a 10-track digipack CD and a special edition with 4 bonus tracks and expanded artwork.
The album's artwork is a creation of legendary Storm Thorgerson whose album packages for Led Zepplin and Pink Floyd are the gold standard in artistic design. The album is a fully realized mature work of a master craftsman, in a sense, BINGO! is the album Steve Miller has been waiting all his life to make.
The Steve Miller Band is a centerpiece attraction of the summer rock concert season playing sixty or more shows every year. He is the Gangster of Love. Some people call him Maurice, the Midnight Toker or the Space Cowboy. And with BINGO!, a masterpiece album by one of the greats, Steve Miller shows he still speaks of the pompitus of love.
Fans of The Steve Miller Band can now listen to a special stream of "Hey Yeah," the first single off their upcoming album, Bingo!
