Greatest Hits 1974-78
Description
The Joker; Fly Like an Eagle; Jet Airliner; Jungle Love;
Take the Money and Run; Swingtown; Rock ‘n Me, and so on. Great collection!
Greatest-hits collections often deprive the listener of the chance
to experience an artist’s true scope of talent. Not so with Steve Miller–his
strength has always been more in crafting an occasional blast of FM-radio
heaven rather than a dozen solid album tracks. Greatest Hits 1974-78
chronicles the best singles from Miller’s most successful years, after he
veered from Haight-Ashbury bluesy trippiness to more accessible blues-based
pop-rock. There are the slippery grooves of “The Joker” and “Fly Like an
Eagle,” and there’s the air-guitar-beckoning riff rock of “Take the Money and
Run,” “Jungle Love,” “Rock n’Me,” and “Jet Airliner.” Don’t expect
groundbreaking art, expect references to the “pompatus of love” and instant
gratification. Requisite listening at the classic-rock keg party. –Neal Weiss
