Miller, Steve Bingo

2010, BINGO! echoes Miller's days as an apprentice on the Chicago blues scene in 1964-6, where his Goldberg-Miller Blues Band worked the same territory as the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and the Siegel-Schwall Band. Drawing from the songbooks of Jimmy Reed, T-Bone Walker, B. B. King, Lowell Fulson, Otis Rush, Jimmie Vaughan, and others, Miller and Johns transformed these classic rhythm and blues songs into monumental 21st century rock performances. They 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.
