Customer Reviews

UNDERRATED GENIUS
This underrated Scottish singer/songwriter should have achieved much greater success. As it stands, he had one massive UK hit in 1978 in the form of the moving ballad Darlin', and two minor hits with Be Good To Yourself and Caledonia. But this Best Of provides sheer joy in songs like Highlife/Brickyard Blues and Shoo Rah Shoo Rah from 1974's High Life album, both written and produced by Allen Toussaint.

The album offers impressive stylistic variety over these 17 tracks, with pub rock, R&B, New Orleans, country, folk and deep soul influences. Miller's gritty and soulful voice is on a par with that of Tom Waits or Rod Stewart, whilst his great compositions like When I'm Away From You, I Can't Change It and To Dream The Dream have stood the test of time very well.

It is ironic that Miller, whose songs were covered by among others The Bellamy Brothers, Kim Carnes, Waylon Jennings, Bob Seger, Bonnie Tyler and Joe Walsh, never had a hit with any of his own compositions. He remains a unique talent, a remarkable composer and skilled vocalist whose contribution to the music of the 1970s and 1980s is overdue for rediscovery and renewed appreciation.
