Music reviews of Young Hearts: Complete Greatest Hits

Music Review: The best comprehensive Steve Miller best of available
Rating: 5 Stars

In September of 2003, Steve Miller released his fifth US compilation entitled Young Hearts: Complete Greatest Hits.
Steve Miller for 40 plus years has created alot of classic rock and roll gems, album favorites and hit singles.
For years, Capitol Records wanted Steve to release a re-issue of his classic 1978 10 million plus and counting selling greatest hits album Greatest Hits 1974-78 but he was not easily persuaded until 2003 when he decided to put out Young Hearts.
This compilation is the only one disc compilation, not counting the 1994 3-CD box set (a/k/a The Pegasus box set), to cover every era of Steve Miller's career from 1968-2003.
The only albums not covered in this collection are 1968's Children of the Future, 1970's Your Saving Grace and Number 5 albums, 1971's Rock Love, 1972's Recall the Beginning, 1981's Circle of Love (although the album's epic "Macho City" appeared as a bonus track on the European editions of the album on a second disc and "Heart Like a Wheel" should have been included but nevermind) and 1988's Born 2 B Blue (could have been represented by his rock radio hit "Ya-Ya" but would have to been expanded to a 2-CD set which would have been fine by me and many others).
There are only three tracks from the 1968-72 versions of The Steve Miller Band.
The 1968 album Sailor is represented by "Living in the USA" which was Steve's first big FM rock radio hit. The song would be a concert staple to this very day. "Gangster of Love" is missing but c'est la vie.
1969's Brave New World is well represented by the classic "Space Cowboy", which was a classic rocker with some tasty lead work from Miller, and the classic collaboration with Beatle Paul McCartney called "My Dark Hour" which is a great song. In fact, the riff at the beginning would be resurrected for the song "Fly Like an Eagle" a few years later.
We then fast forward to Steve's first Gold selling album from 1973 called The Joker which is represented by the #1 charting classic title cut (which is here in the original album version and not the single edit featured on Greatest Hits 1974-78) and the classic "Shu Ba Da Du Ma Ma Ma Ma".
1976's #2 charting 4 million plus and counting selling album Fly Like an Eagle is represented by the album's title cut (a #2 hit in early 1977 and is here in almost its full album version but the ending fades out early (like on Greatest Hits) but with "Space Intro" that precedes the song), the spacey "Wild Mountain Honey", the rocking "Serenade", the country-bluesy "Dance Dance Dance", the Top 10 rocker "Take the Money and Run" and the album's biggest hit "Rock'n Me" (which hit #1 in 1976 and was written around the time Steve Miller opened for Pink Floyd at Knebworth in 1975 in front of 150,000 people and surprisingly upstaged the Floyd whose set was marred with technical problems).
1977's Book of Dreams is represented by the album's Top 10 hit "Jet Airliner" (which is here in its original album version and with the "Threshold" intro), the Top 20 hit "Swingtown" (also here in its album version), the Top 20 hit rocker "Jungle Love" and the album track "The Stake" (which is slightly edited). "Winter Time" (which was on GH 1974-78) is missing but appears on the European edition of Young Hearts which was a 2-disc set and "True Fine Love" (which was on GH 1974-78 as well) is also missing.
1982's Top 5 Platinum selling Abracadabra is represented by the #1 charting title cut (here in its single edit which fades out before that epic outro) and was Steve's last pop hit but what a track.
1984's flop Italian X-Rays is represented by "Who Do You Love" which was one of the album's few highlights.
1986's Living in the 20th Century is represented by the #1 Album Rock radio and MTV video smash "I Want to Make the World Turn Around" and I believe this is the video edit on here as the album version was different. The track features Miller singing in a low octave and playing killer guitar solos and includes on tenor saxophone Kenny G (yes, the same Kenny G who is the "king of schlock" and someone you least expected to hear on a rock record (only other rock album he guested on was Weezer's Red Album)) on and does surprisingly good tenor sax solos instead of using the annoying soprano sax which he is famous for.
Steve's lone album for Polydor, 1993's Wide River is represented by the album's title cut (which was a rock radio hit in 1993) and "Cry Cry Cry". Why people used the new tunes at shows for getting hot dogs is ridiculous as Steve was still capable of putting out quality material (he just released his new Bingo album earlier this year).
This is a great Steve Miller starter kit for those who want to discover him and then buy his catalog after (if you can find some of the earlier albums and some later as they are out of print). Despite not charting high in 2003 (as music was by this point heisted by trashy teen pop hillbilly harlots, cavedwelling nu-metal dudes and thug rappers/whites who wanted to be boyz in the hood in 2003) but sales don't mean squat!
