The Steve Miller Band: Brave New World (Capitol)
John Morthland, Rolling Stone, 26 July 1969
IF YOU WERE hoping for some new music from the new Steve Miller Band organist Jim Peterman and guitarist Boz Scaggs have left, and Miller, bassist Lonnie Turner and drummer Tim Davis are carrying on as a trio you'll probably be a little bit disappointed with this album. Which is not to say that the music isn't good, but only that, in spite of the personnel changes, it is basically more of the same.
