Certainly one of the best and most song-oriented of the San Francisco bands. They used the studio very well, too–”Sailor” and “No.5″ are masterpieces, and “Your Saving Grace” isn’t far behind. Glyn Johns probably had a lot to do with how well-recorded their albums were. Only the Airplane were better, as SF acts went.

i get the connection to traffic but steve miller was just eclectic not a plagerist.i have many of his incarnations over the years.this is one of my favs.

All time favorite…

This is Tim Davis singing, Not Steve. Stevie Has the harmonies on this one, and the talking part at 1:48

Steve Miller was his own guy. Stevie Winwood also great (wrote his version of I’m a man at age 16). There are slower parts of this that around 2:00 into video where he does a sort of thing I’d never heard him do. Steve Miller didn’t need to copy anybody.

You need to wake up in a bad way, twisted and lost…

i here a slight similarity in certain spots of the song,but who knows- both huge talents on their own-
April 1st, 2010 at 11:37 am
Good call OBR, definitely Stevie W.ish.
April 1st, 2010 at 11:41 am
totally agree.

Anyone else get the Steve Winwood impression here? Love this song, rate Steve Miller. I do think this is a Traffic influenced piece however.
I don’t think his vocals are like this on any other track.

Along with The Gangster’s Back, my favorite Steve Miller song. A rare jewel. Perfect.
