The Life Story

Shades Of Blue

      He'd been in Nashville one week when he ran into a friend from Atlanta, Doug Johnson, also following the pied piper. Doug said, "I've got this guy I want you to meet, looks like your brother." The Gibson Miller Band was formed and signed to Epic/Sony records. Blue co-produced with Doug  Where There's Smoke  their first album which -had 5 top of the chart singles and 3 videos. He was on the road again. 37 states and 4 Canadian provinces in 230 days. The Kentucky Headhunters, Hank Jr. and Collin Raye singled him out and called him on stage to perform with them.
     This was the life. This was what he was born to do. Rocker friend,
Ted Nugent teased him about being a traitor.....Blue,cmon....country? Blue had found, to his
amazement, that throngs of people are separated from the music by labeling. He was making music and playing like he'd always played. Blue and Doug Johnson collaborated again and produced the second album  Red White and Blue Collar. The band performed the opening track  Mama's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys in "The Cowboy Way' starring Woody Harrelson, and Kiefer Sutherland.

      Waylon was so proud of this Blue Miller version that he joined them on stage in Pennsylvania for a rocking, rousing show. They won The Academy of Country Music's Best New Vocal Group of the Year, and Levon Helm was quoted,"As far as I'm concerned, GMB is the best damned band in America."

       They were on their way......when from nowhere,from out of the blue,his partner decided to pursue other interests. Ouch! No problem for the Blue man though, he regrouped, jumped right back in, producing acts, songwriting and pulling this new project together with a little help from his friends. Look for Ricky Medlocke of Blackfoot/ Skynyrd fame. He co-penned three songs with the Blue man. These two road dogs have some chemistry! And of course, his Blue Crew.
    
Hey Nascar fans! Check this out. Blue Miller produced and wrote and co-wrote 20 rocking and Rhythm and Blues songs about racing and his Kick in the Asphalt Band (named appropriately for this project) toured with the Winston Cup Road Show.
     There are 1,300,000 Winston Cup Nascar CD's out there. Do you own one?
