Album Description & Collectors information: The Steve Miller Band is a rock band from the United States that has been active since the 1960s. One of their most popular albums is "Abracadabra," released in 1982. The album was a commercial success and spawned several hit singles, including the title track "Abracadabra." In this web-page, we will explore the album's background, its songs, and its critical reception. Steve Miller formed the Steve Miller Band in 1966 in San Francisco, California. The band's early sound was heavily influenced by blues and psychedelic rock. They released several albums throughout the 1970s, including "Fly Like an Eagle" and "Book of Dreams," which were both successful. However, the band's popularity began to wane in the early 1980s, and they needed a hit to remain relevant. Released in 1982, "Abracadabra" was the twelfth studio album by the Steve Miller Band. The album was produced by Steve Miller himself, and it featured a more polished sound compared to their earlier albums. The album contains nine tracks, which range in style from rock to pop to blues. The album's title track, "Abracadabra," is perhaps the band's most well-known song. It features a catchy chorus and a synthesizer riff that was popular at the time. The song reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and remains a classic rock radio staple to this day. Another standout track on the album is "Cool Magic," which features a funky bass line and a bluesy guitar solo. The song's lyrics describe a woman who has a mysterious charm that is irresistible to men. "Give It Up" is another popular song from the album, featuring a catchy chorus and a driving beat. This album "STEVE MILLER BAND - Abracadabra" includes the original custom inner sleeve with album details, complete lyrics of all songs by and artwork/photos. |
