in 1968, so near the start his work as a board artist, Steve Miller went to the shooting in London's Olympic Studios, where at the same time, another group worked: the Beatles.
Since they are the engineer, Glyn Johns, shared, Miller spent a few nights so, the men watching mushrooms. When John Lennon and Ringo Starr appeared on the third evening, Miller began with George Harrison and Paul McCartney to jam . After a while, left the studio and McCartney and Harrison Miller worked at one of Miller's songs. That night they took a full song for Miller's album "My Dark Hour" on. So far the story.
One of the most important lessons in the Miller Time in which he observed the Beatles, had learned was a certain vision when it came to the recording drives. For while they worked in the studio on an album, the musicians had already the next and next in mind. A strategy that Miller took over for himself when it comes to the creation of his 1976-'77 album "Fly Like An Eagle" and "Jet Airliner" was that made him one of the biggest rock stars of that era.
As Miller in March 2009, the huge studio on George Lucas, Skywalker Ranch entered ', the images were on his last album already back 15 years. And as it did in the 70s with his two most famous Albums had done, he had already prepared material on his arrival for two consecutive albums.
Let Your Hair Down is the continuation of the No. 1 Blue album Bingo , which was published last year. Miller saved on not only the bluesy, guitar-heavy rock and most most songs for the second album, but spent the year between the two publications used to perfect the sound of Let Your Hair Down.
Miller burrowed through an astronomical number of R & B and blues recordings in his CD collection to suitable material for the promising recording sessions at Skywalker Ranch to find. Technicians with Andy Johns (Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones) on the mixer to play Steve Miller and his band of nearly three dozen songs.

Buffalo has been involved in many of the songs on Let Your Hair Down ("Snatch It Back And Hold It", "Sweet Home Chicago" and "Just A Little Bit ') apply.
singer Sonny Charles, too, who after the death of Marvin, Sweet Louie 'Smith, with whom he sang in the band long Checkmates, 2008 Member of the Steve Miller Band, is also to be heard on Let Your Hair Down.
Let Your Hair Down told - roughly speaking - a tale of two cities, Chicago and Memphis. Music, Miller has been playing his whole life. He has performed with Jimmy Reed in night clubs in Dallas, when he was 15 years old. T-Bone Walker, who was hired regularly to perform at parties of the Miller family, brought the nine-year-old Steve with the basics of guitar playing. And when the family lived in Milwaukee, was Les Paul, who was a friend of Miller's father, the five-year-old Steve his first chords on the guitar.
To Let Your Hair Down Miller studied the recordings of T-Bone Walker, Jimmy Reed, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Jimmy McCracklin, Roscoe Gordon and many others, material that he played in high school times in his first band. He plays Jimmy Reed's 'Close Together' since he was a teenager and learned to 'The Walk' on the radio. Miller knows the Junior Wells / Buddy Guy classic 'Snatch It Back and Hold It "from the days when this was a new plate of a local band of the Chicago scene. These songs have always been the lifeblood of Miller's music.
