Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
The Joker is, without question, the turning point in Steve Miller’s career, the album where he infused his blues with a big, bright dose of pop and got exactly what he deserved: top ten hits and stardom. He also lost a lot of fans, the ones that dug his winding improvs, because those spacey jams were driven by chops and revealed new worlds. The Joker isn’t mind-expanding, it’s party music, filled with good vibes, never laying a heavy trip, always keeping things light, relaxed and easy-going. Sometimes, the vibes are interrupted, but not in a harsh way - the second side slows a bit, largely due to the sludgy «Come in My Kitchen» and «Evil,» the two songs that were recorded live but lacking any kinetic energy - but for the most part, this is all bright and fun, occasionally truly silly, as on «Shu Ba Da Du Ma Ma Ma Ma.» This silliness, of course, alienated old fans all the more, but that sense of fun is both the most appealing thing about The Joker and it set a touchstone for the rest of his career. Here, it’s best heard on the terrific opener «Sugar Babe» and, of course, the timeless title track, which is sunny and ridiculous in equal measure. If nothing else quite up is to that standard in terms of songs - certainly, it’s not as jammed-pack as its successor, Fly Like An Eagle — The Joker nevertheless maintains its good-time vibe so well that it’s hard not to smile along…provided you’re on the same wavelength as Miller, of course.

If there is any rockstar that should be complaining about how they got ripped off, it would be Steve Miller. He made awesome music for twenty plus years, touring constantly only to land a job as a disc jockey at a nameless Cleveland radio station. A shame indeed.

A mighty band. Easy listening yet ingenious music.

bryantee şunu yazdı:
Don't care too much for their 70's work but I love the liner notes in Number 5. He instructs the listener to pass the copy along to a friend once they've "gotten the message." Would a record label even allow an artist to say something like that today? A true musician's musician.

'Stuck in the Middle With you' is one of the Stealers Wheel' s songs, not Steve Miller Band's.
