Miller, Steve Let Your Hair Down

2011, LET YOUR HAIR DOWN, according to plan, follows the number one blues album, BINGO!, as the second new Steve Miller Band album of the twenty-first century. He not only saved the bluesiest, rockingest, most guitar-playing-est tracks for the second serving, but he spent the additional year between releases tweaking, polishing and obsessively applying finishing touches that make LET YOUR HAIR DOWN an even more fully realized record than its acclaimed, successful predecessor. Miller sorted through an astronomical number of rhythm and blues, and blues recordings from his CD library seeking material for the auspicious Skywalker Ranch sessions. With classic rock engineer Andy Johns (Led Zeppelin) at the console, Miller and his band, longtime musical collaborators road-tested over literally thousands of concerts, blasted through nearly three dozen tracks.
