Steve Miller: Book Of Dreams
Don Snowden, Circus, 23 June 1977
STEVE MILLER FOUND himself caught on the horns of a dilemma in 1974. A cult favorite from the first days of the Summer of Love, he unexpectedly struck gold when 'The Joker', the catchy, spacey tribute to the numerous characters Miller had created throughout his career, rose to the top of the singles charts.
