Bonfire Records present a reissue of
Miller Anderson
's
Bright City
, originally released in 1971. Miller Anderson is a guitarist and vocalist, born on April 12, 1945, in Houston, Renfrewshire, Scotland. Since cutting his musical teeth in bands with
Ian Hunter
(pre-
Mott the Hoople
) and
Bill Bruford
(pre-
King Crimson
and
Yes
), Anderson has been a member of such bands as the
Keef Hartley Band
,
Savoy Brown
,
T. Rex
,
Mountain
, the
Spencer Davis Group
, and in groups led by Deep Purple's
Jon Lord
and folk-rock balladeer
Donovan
. His 1971 debut
Bright City
was released on the legendary Deram, sub-label of Decca that released new records from 1966 onwards for the likes of
Moody Blues
,
Caravan
,
Camel
, and several British jazz-rock legends. The album is a brilliant example of modern folk with lush strings arrangements thanks to guitarist and producer
William "Junior" Campbell
, leader of the Scottish pop-rock group
The Marmalade
. A brilliant songwriting alongside a pastoral feeling, gentle melodies and a solid background with several amazing players literally bridging the gap between contemporary pop and blues.
Harold Beckett
(
John Surman
,
Graham Collier
) on flugelhorn and
Lyn Dobson
(
The Keef Hartley Band
,
The People Band
,
Third Ear Band
) on flute were literally stalwarts of the British jazz-rock and experimental scene, their contributions is behind greatness. Same with keyboard player
Mick Weaver
, another Keef Hartley alumni. The album -- faithfully remastered -- offers a vision of urban Scotland with a bluesy feel and it has to be ranked alongside the work of such luminaries as Donovan or
Nick Drake
. Fully licensed. 180 gram vinyl; edition of 500.
