I'm another person who is familiar with mostly only the radio/"greatest" hits, so this was a great way to get introduced to (and my interest sparked for) SMB's early period.<br><br>As for the track that surprised me the most, I'd say it was "Your Saving Grace" (I guess the Bose salesmen and I have more in common than I thought...ha). Good stuff. Parts of it kind of remind me a bit of the chorus of the Doobie Brothers' "Listen to the Music", just with a slower tempo.<br><br>Looking forward to Part 2! Nice job, Rob.

As for the track that surprised me the most, I'd say it was “Your Saving Grace” (I guess the Bose salesmen and I have more in common than I thought…ha). Good stuff. Parts of it kind of remind me a bit of the chorus of the Doobie Brothers' “Listen to the Music”, just with a slower tempo.

Looking forward to Part 2!

Thanks for this. I'm only familiar with SMB radio hits (which I like), but you've convinced me to dig deeper. Yet another “Popdose Guide” written with excellence. Thanks for this.

Great Job.. Steve has a new album comming out in May that will give true meaning to the name Stevie "Guitar" Miller. It goes back to his roots of Kick ass Blues guitar.... His cover of Muddy Waters " Can't be Satisfied" and Jimmy Vaughns "Sweet Soul Vibe" are bone chilling... Yes I know this sounds like a "Homer" pumping up his own team but I was a fan long before I started working for the man.. this stuff is just KILLER.........

Everybody seems to have a different favorite. Ultimately, I went with songs that showed off Miller's eclecticness and the complexity of some of his early compositions. That said, I dig "Love's Riddle" too.

Job well done. Too bad today's youth is not exposed to these very creative forays. His guitar playing and vocals are some of the best ever heard in pop music on these albums. One thing you did not mention Rob...."Love's Riddle" is one of the prettiest songs you will ever hear, beautifully orchestrated and sung. I could not have done a better job than you did Rob on this topic. Rob, you nailed the details of these great albums to perfection. Job well done.
