What reviewers are saying about
“Beyond the headlights”
“…an attractive and very varied album with strong songs. In Miles americana intermingled pure country with western swing, a little folk, a little jazz and even a little soul. The risk of unevenness is obvious one might think, but the fact is that this trip through Miles’ life – which is described as both real life and imagined – works very well.”
– Robert Ryttman, www.countrywood.se
“Sometimes, it’s not the destination, it’s the journey, and you’re in safe hands with a musician like Keith Miles.”
– Jamie Hailstone, Blues Matters
“A weathered voice, acoustic guitar and violin or pedal steel in the background …”
“Keith Miles is a musician who is very expressive way his whole heart and soul into his songs and explains that is made clear again in songs like “I Like To Drive” and “Iowa” and in the final full emotional masterpiece “Memories Of You”.
– Freddie Celis, Rootstime
“…an astonishingly moving, confident, yet easy-going, voice that projects the gamut of emotions tied up in these wide-ranging songs, up front but not obtrusive in close friend Jack Sundrud’s production, wrapped in the reality that he’s experienced all these roads, taken and not, and lived to tell about them… a very interesting, and detailed, ride.”
-Mark Gould, Soundwaves Magazine
“…beyond expectations …enlightens on a diversity of styles from Americana folk, big band, olde time swing and country crooner. The results are as eclectic as they are enjoyable. Beyond The Headlights is a fine second effort from the talented Miles that’s loaded with artistry, Hammond organ, fiddles & horns – that should help him get a few mores miles down the road in style.”
– Richard J. Lynch

“…I have always had a weakness for singer songwriters and storytellers like Guy Clark and John Prine and here is a guy on the same level… ”
