Les Paul was Steve Miller's godfather and a trusted mentor. Paul invented the solid-body electric guitar as well as multi-track recording, the eight-track tape and the concept of overdubbing, and was also revered by another guitar legend: Eddie Van Halen.

The line "You know he knows just exactly what the facts is" was one we teased our high school English teacher about, since Steve Miller was an English major. She didn't really appreciate that! ;)

Steve Miller is more of Blues Rock than southern (with a tiny bit of psychedelic rock thrown in) -- you see that on his album cuts. His life story is pretty cool and a little hard to believe -- His godfather was Les Paul, and he learned his trade with classic blues guys in Chicago. The Marc Maron WTF podcast interview with him is really entertaining. I second all the other suggestions for him that you've been getting.

I agree about your call on Steve's overall sound genre. I had never thought of this song as southern rock. But when they said it, I went, "Yeah."

Steve Miller songs I think you both would like: "Wild Mountain Honey", a fast-paced song where Steve uses many vocal tricks aka melisma "Serenade", "Wide River", Steve's foray into 80's pop/rock "Abracadabra", "Threshold/Jet Airliner", "Space Intro/Fly Like an Eagle", "The Stake" with a great guitar riff reminiscent of Joe Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way".

Yes, yes! Great suggestion. A must hear.

Miller wrote this as a road trip song. When he was a kid, his parents took him on long road trips where they listened to radio stations the whole time and sung along to their favorite songs. In the '70s, FM radio allowed for stereo sound and provided a cleaner signal, so Miller made his road trip anthems bigger, with more layers to the sound. He made sure these songs were upbeat and fun, just like the ones that caught his ear as a kid. Please react to Abracadabra by Steve Miller Band 🙂

Never knew that! I had the albums in high school but my kids always snagged the greatest hits cd for … road trips. They picked up on his intentions, I guess.

"Rock'n Me" "Swingtown" "Jungle Love" and "Jet Airliner" are their more driving tunes. Them and the Eagles are the best 70's band to listen to when you're taking a road trip.

This was a lot of folks jam back in the mid 70’s . I also Jungle Love is a good one

Steve Miller was taught to play guitar by his godfather, the legendary Les Paul. “ J” since you’re into guitar players, you should dive into the history of Les Paul. You won’t be disappointed.

As much as you two love "story" music, a good road to try is The Lovin' Spoonful. Songs like "Nashville Cats", "Daydream", and "Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind". May not all be a simple story, but done in a story approach. Real feel-good music.

one of my favorite groups their greatest hits albulm is just fire

This is one of those songs I don't remember a time that I didn't know all the words to it.

Lots of Steve Miller to try, Fly Like an Eagle should be next. Love Amber's hair, she looks great. Enjoy! 🎸

If you want more southern rock try 38 Special, “hold on loosely” and “ so caught up in you”

Glad you're hitting some Steve Miller! Huge in the mid 1970s. Big part of my high school years. For a REALLY different feel, please listen to Space Intro/Fly Like an Eagle. (It's two tracks, but really should be listened to as a single song.) . The drummer they got for this album and Book of Dreams (they were recorded to be a double album, then it was decided to release two separate discs) is fantastic. I can listen to both albums back to back just for the drums.

The Album this song is taken from, also called "Fly like an eagle" is a masterpiece and considered one of the best albums ever. The album's song list riffs flawlessly between different genres; Spacey opener in the aptly named "Space intro", classic rockers, Mushrooms smoke filled hypnotic psychedelics, straight-up blues, country, and even R&B tinge classic. It's easily Steve Miller's band's best album (albeit I have a personal soft spot to "Abracadabra" ), and it's a MUST listen from start-to-finish.

Lots of bands played this chord progression but Steve Miller made it his own. 👍👍

I see lots of classic Steve Miller songs being recommended in the comments. You really can't go wrong with any of them. But for my money, hands down, Steve Miller's "I Want To Make the World Turn Around" is perfection! 💖

Just to clarify Amber, “Billy Joe shot a man while robbing his castle”, they broke into a rich man’s house not a bank,when they broke in he must have been home and they didn’t know it, when he confronted them Billy Joe shot him, Bobby Sue took whatever cash was there and booked. For the rest, you nailed it. Fly like an Eagle is recommended and has social commentary in the lyrics that is still pretty relevant today. Keep up the good work! 🤘✌️💕😎

I’m assuming Steve or whoever came up with the verse used castle for house because it rhymes with hassle.

Classic Steve - consistently lyrical over 50 years. A fine and favourite guitarist.

When Steve was young, Les Paul was a family friend who taught him some guitar. Les Paul made that guitar brand, so he's one of the most historically important people in music

Great pick. Definitely a classic. You should hear Green Grass and High Tides Forever by The Outlaws since Amber likes southern rock so much and J is into guitar. Definitely please play the LP version the live versions I have found are either poor recordings or 20 minutes long. You'll love it.

Fun reaction! Thank you. Steve Miller has quite a few to choose from. I'd go for "Fly Like An Eagle" .

Steve Miller! First concert I ever saw. Summer 1977 before my senior year in a steamy Boston Garden. Will never forget it. Been on the concert ride ever since! Fly Like an Eagle, Jet Airliner, and Jungle Love also transport me back to that amazing night.

A few more songs by him are: "Abracadabra", "Jungle Love", "Jet Airliner", and "Fly Like An Eagle". Of course there are many many more. 😃

Steve Miller is one of the greatest guitar players of all time and his catalog of songs is very extensive. Saw him many years ago and he played for 1 hour and 45 minutes without repeating a song. On the other hand, from what I’ve seen (his hall of fame induction speech) and heard he’s a bit of an egotistical a$$hole. He has no problem saying just how great he is and that his godfather was Les Paul (arguably the best guitarist of all time) and how he learned guitar from him. And that he should have been inducted long before most of the people in the hall of fame.

Steven "Guitar" Miller has a ton of great songs you need to check out. The dude wrote so many hits. I wouldn't call him "Southern Rock" considering he was from one of the most northern states in the country (Wisconsin). He's just a "blues rock" kinda band with a heavy influence from the Chicago Blues style.

Since Boz Scaggs was mentioned below, gotta do "Lido Shuffle"--an absolute classic.

One of my favs by Steve Miller is "YOUR CASH AIN'T NUTTIN BUT TRASH"!!!!!!! Big-time fun with a beat. SO MUCH MUSIC SO LITTLE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve seen this group in concert and he(they) put on a good show. Another great band from my past. Always watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸

I first heard Steve Miller band when I worked at my first job in 1992 at Bell’s Amusement Park in Tulsa Oklahoma. There was a ride called the Himalaya and the owner Robbie Bell only allowed his music to be played so I got introduced to this amazing group. They’ve got a bunch of great hits. Try: Fly Like an Eagle, The Joker, Wild Mountain Honey, Abracadabra, Jungle Love, Dance Dance Dance, Jet Airliner, Rock n Me. Gives me major nostalgia.

Steve Miller Band, in particular, is like listening to a whole lot of different types of songs.
