Steve Miller Band - Children Of The Future (US)

Steve Miller Band’s Children of the Future from 1968 catches the group in a very different place from the hit-making years that followed. There is blues, psychedelia and plenty of San Francisco atmosphere, with “Living in the U.S.A.” standing out alongside the more experimental material. The album feels loose and exploratory, with flashes of the melodic side Steve Miller would develop later. A great early record for anyone who knows the big hits but wants to hear where the band started.
