Sailor (album)
Sailor is the second album by American rock group The Steve Miller Band, released in October 1968 by Capitol Records. Like the band's previous album, Children of the Future, Sailor was produced by Glyn Johns. Unlike its predecessor which was recorded in London, England, Sailor was recorded in Los Angeles, California. It was the last Steve Miller Band album to feature contributions by original members Boz Scaggs and Jim Peterman. Scaggs went on to a successful solo career.
The album features a psychedelic blues rock sound. Tracks "Living in the U.S.A." and "Quicksilver Girl" later received additional notice when the former was covered in 1969 by Wilmer & the Dukes and the latter was included in the popular 1984 movie The Big Chill.
It was voted number 353 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums.
In 2012, Edsel Records released a remastered version of the album.Track listing
