One of my favorite cuts to play when I’m dropping a downtempo DJ set is ‘Fly Like An Eagle’ by The Steve Miller Band. There’s something about that smooth Californian funk that encompasses late 60’s psychedelic, soul and rock in a cool way - even if it is played by white guys. Anyway I came across The Dragons who operated in the same time and place as Miller and who released ‘Blue Forces Intelligence’ [smoke enough pot and you too can name your album like that.] It turns out that one third of this trio of Dragon brothers later went on to become famous as the ‘Captain’ from 70s chart-toppers Captain and Tenille. [You must click and see that site btw]. Well never mind, meanwhile a re-released LP and CD is available from Ninja Tunes. Get it here.
