Well fill me in here. Did Miller record much or any in the late 50s?
I'm underinformed about him, but I've always assumed that he
started recording about then, before developing that idiosyncratic
style of his in the 60s. I mean, didn't he work as a sideman with
Ray and Faron and such?
With some of that generation, like Willie, I tend to *love* the
relatively traditional work they did in the late 50s-early 60s before
developing into their later, more individualized signature styles,
etc. That's why I asked whether there were many early cuts, tonkers,
etc. in the set.
BTW, Miller was a *huge* favorite of my Dad's. I can still hear my
Dad humming Miller tunes with delight while walking around the house
or driving, etc.
