Fly like an Eagle - Steve Miller Band (Cover by M.A.W. - STRUPPIX)
Steve Miller is an American singer, guitarist and songwriter who was particularly successful worldwide in the 1970s and 1980s with the Steve Miller Band. Miller learned his first guitar chords at the age of five from Les Paul, who regularly visited the Millers' house with his wife Mary Ford. (I just imagine how great it would have been if, for example, Jimi Hendrix had regularly come for a cup of coffee and shown me his latest licks). What a great start to a career in music. Steve Miller always was rooted in the blues, but he managed the feat of keeping it up to date by incorporating everything from psychedelic to new wave that was hot at the time. “Fly like an Eagle” was covered by many bands. There's also a very beautiful version by SEAL. That spurred me on to devote myself to this song. Karsten provided keyboards and effects in his usual solid way. And so our version was born. Enjoy it.
