Keith Miles - What It Was They Became

From John Prine to Guy Clark to Hoagy Carmichael to Shakespeare, Keith Miles has always been a fan of storytellers whose well-honed prose and perfectly turned phrasing paints vivid images in the mind's eye. And that inspiration comes through loud and clear on Miles debut CD, What It Was They Became which runs a gamut of Americana music mixed with handfuls of blues, country, and swing, with some rock 'n' roll undertones and a few dashes of Leon Redbone thrown in for good measure.

'About a year ago, I began to talk with my friend, Jack Sundrud, about doing an album. For many years, I've been singing these songs in my living room or with our string band, The Crows (with Jack and Sue Braswell). This winter, Jack's schedule cleared and we were able to start this project using the people and the equipment that would finally allow the vision and the reality to coalesce.

'I hope you check out the album and enjoy the songs for what they are. Drop me a line and let me know what you think.' ~ Keith
