Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
They say he should have been a big "Star". Frankie Miller definitely has his chops down and can sing with the best of them. To my ears tho what he suffered from was not lack of talent or originality, I find after repeated listening that he suffered from poor production and lack of pizazz for the most part. The songs just don't grab you like they should, his singing is forefront, of course , but it isn't all that catchy. Perhaps his sidemen don't stand out enough and the songs are rather bland perhaps.
Enjoyable enough but nothing stands out as exemplary or clicking on all four cylinders.Perhaps it's that the songsand backup are rather subdued and not exciting enough. I will figure it out eventually...... .
This underrated Scottish singer/songwriter should have achieved much greater success. As it stands, Miller 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 great stylistic variety over these 19 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 belated recognition.
