The Joker
Album Summary
The Joker is a combination live and studio album by Steve Miller Band. The album was recorded at Capitol Studios and released by Capitol Records in October 1973. Miller told Jimmy Fallon that the studio portion of the album was recorded in 15 days. The album marked a period of significant change for the group as the band abandoned their psychedelic-oriented music for a more melodic, smooth rock/blues sound. It was also their first solid commercial success due to the strong radio-play of the title track. The album reached No. 2 on the Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart and has been certified Platinum in the United States. It reached No. 1 on the Cash Box Albums Charts on January 8, 1974.
