Miller Anderson is a highly respected musician who came to major prominence as vocalist and guitarist with Keef Hartley Band upon their formation in 1968. Signing to Decca’s Deram label, the band recorded a series of albums which embraced, jazz, blues and rock influences and enjoyed success as one of the great British bands of the late 1960's and early 1970's.
Following the release of the album "Overdog" in the Spring of 1971, Miller embarked on recording his 1st solo album, "Bright City". The album would see Anderson embrace folk influences alongside the more familiar styles associated with his work as part of the Hartley band. The result was a fine and inspiring record.
On March 3rd, 2023, Cherry Red Records and Esoteric Recordings will release a newly remastered and expanded edition of "Bright City". Remastered from the original master tapes and featuring an additional 6 bonus tracks previously unreleased on CD. Includes a session for 'BBC Radio 1’s Sounds Of The 70's' show recorded in September 1971. With restored original album artwork including an illustrated booklet with new essay.
