Recensie
The Joker was zonder twijfel het keerpunt in de carrière van Steve Miller. Op dit album doordrenkte hij de blues die hij tot dusver speelde, met een flinke dosis pop en kreeg hij precies wat hij verdiende: Top 40 hits en roem. De titeltrack werd een van zijn allergrootste hits en het album was een opmaat naar latere kassuccessen als Fly Like An Eagle. De vijftigste verjaardag van dit album viert Steve met deze nieuwe boxset over de artistieke reis die leidde tot de creatie ervan. Samengesteld door Miller zelf, duikt J50 diep in het creatieve proces van het schrijven en samenstellen van The Joker en benadrukt de blijvende magie ervan door de originele albumtracks chronologisch te plaatsen naast 27 niet eerder uitgebrachte opnames uit Millers persoonlijke archief, met als hoogtepunt het uitgebreide “The Joker Suite”. Verder zes audiocommentaartracks van Steve en exclusieve liner notes van zowel hemzelf als de legendarische journalist Anthony DeCurtis.
