    I heard this CD on Rhapsody or a web station at work and connected with a song that made me curious enough to search for the artist.

  • J Records staff-We need 2 more weeks...
    author: Jim E.--Sony/BMG Music Entertainment

    Ben, We need more time due to American Idol being so consuming. Give us 2 or 3 more weeks? We have your info and are aware of your letter of recommendation from a talent promoter who worked for our RCA President Clive Davis.

  • Sounds like Mark Knopfler quite a bit!!
    author: John F-Director / WXRT 93.1 FM-Chicago

    You need to keep talking with your contact at Reprise/Warner Records is what I would recommend. That is all I can tell you right now. Sounds like your on the right track though.

  • More Stevie is a great idea for your sound
    author: Bill Bentley

    More Stevie is a great idea for your sound. Gives it a bite that you can't ignore. I knew Stevie in Austin during the '70s, and we always stayed close until his early death. He was easily one of the greatest musicians I've ever heard. I'm glad he's inspiring you. He was the real thing. Please send me a copy when you're ready. Bill

  • author: BB

  • Top of the Mornin' to ya
    author: Mick

    Where's my friend Ben? Anybody seen him lately?. I bet he's mixing up some serious Tennessee moonshine in that studio. Staying tough kid is good advice, trust is hard to come by these days and well you live and learn you know. Ben's word is as good as gold and then some so get this boy a really nice tour bus next time you see or hear from him.

  • Let me know!!
    author: Anthony/Universal Records

    Let me know if you have any new recordings ready or if you plan on touring at all.

  • Very nice complete project!
    author: Alex

    Cool Sound and well organized. Several good songs

  • I thought it was Dire Straits or Pink Floyd
    author: Jerry S.

    My friend picks me up and is jamming this CD really loud. I thought it was old Dire Straits or Pink Floyd but wasn't sure and was suprised when he told me it was an unknown artist.

  • Quality riffs, quality sound
    author: Warren Pollux

    Dude I saw the "Lizard King" in the Sonora desert and he is very much alive. I thought Ben Miller was a guitar player in New York but I guess it was a diiferent Ben. Anyway I think this guy really does sound like the Lizard King especially in Magic Caravan and Spanish Moon.The close similarity to Jim Morrison is wierd. It's kind of eerie to say the least.

  • Nice clear sound!
    author: JD

    The sound is really clear on this album!

  • Ben-Take your pick..Our musicians are as good as it gets.
    author: Joe Lends His Horse/ Yankton Sioux Tribe

    Take your pick, our musicians are as good as it gets. Thought I would have seen you by now. Remember that Marty has always got room for more traditionals during the ceremony. We'll meet up at the next Sundance or Pow Wow in Illinois.

  • It's Miller Time... like in 86 from the city of Brixx
    author: MC Quick ---------Addison

    Whass up! The Guitar Man..I like mean streaks and spanish freaks!!You got roots here kid!We won't forget that football game of 47-0 with you as QB and Betancourt as WR and visa/versa. The 2 fastest cats in town calling all the shots. Fernando made that shit stick B. This is an Irish/Spanish neighborhood ever since. All that for just a girl you never dated. That's the Legend and we won't forget. Music's good for the soul that is if you got one.

  • Get the papers!Hey Man, Jokers Hand is tough like an old glove!!!
    author: Jimmy "Two-Times" Grainer/Reviewer Extroardinaire

    Badass Guitar on Jokers Hand no doubt. Dude SOS. What's with Travolta's phone. Tell him to get an answering service or throw the phone away. Forklift's gonna take back his living room soon. You will see me soon,like next week maybe. Where is my car? Where is my shopping mall again? O'yeah. Rock on!!!

  • Hi Ben, We do have your new CD!
    author: Carlie / Paramount Pictures

    We do have your new CD and the Creative Director will consider it for upcoming productions.Thanks

  • Hi Ben---so it's "Dire Straits" meets "The Doors".
    author: Tom Klaner/Bright Eyes Reviews---Germany

    Der Rockgitarrist BEN MILLER aus Chicago veröffentlicht mit dem nun vorliegenden neuen Studioalbum „Farther Than The Eye Can Stare“ sein zweites vollständiges Werk. Diese Soloscheibe nutzt BEN MILLER nicht nur, um sein musikalisches Können unter Beweis zu stellen, sondern er übernimmt auch die Gesangslinien, die zeitweise sogar an einen Mark Knopfler erinnern. So verwundert es nicht, dass sich so manche Songs durchaus als Dire Straits meets The Doors bezeichnen lassen können. Der coole groovende Opener ‚Magic Caravan’ weiß genau so zu überzeugen wie das atmosphärische ‚Deuces Wild’. Bei der Gitarrenarbeit überlässt BEN MILLER nichts dem Zufall und führt sein gesamtes Gitarrenrepertoire ins Feld. Wer jetzt ein endloses Gedudel erwartet, der sieht sich getäuscht, schließlich sind unter den zwölf Songs nur zwei reine Instrumentalnummern zu finden. Nach seinem Debütalbum „Each & Everyday“, das bereits für positive Stimmen sorgen konnte, stellt „Farther Than The Eye Can Stare“ die viel zitierte konsequente Weiterentwicklung dar. Wer es gerne lässig und groovig mag, der sollte BEN MILLERs Scheibe ruhig mal antesten und selbst darüber urteilen. Für die Fahrt über den Highway ist das Album bestens geeignet. 9 von 13 Augen Tom Klaner

  • The cool groovened opener "Magic Caravan" knows how to convince!!
    author: Tom Klaner/ Bright-Eyes Reviews/Germany

    WWW.Bright-Eyes.De Germany------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The guitarist BEN MILLER out of Chicago published the studio album existing new now "Farther Than The Eye Can Stare" and is his second complete work. This solo disk uses BEN MILLER not only in order to place his musical ability under proof, but rather it receives also the song lines that remind occasionally even of Mark Knopfler. So it does so thoroughly as Dire Straits meets The Doors. The cool groovend Opener 'Magic Caravan' knows how to convince exactly that atmospheric along with track 2 'Deuces Wild'. ------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- In the guitar working, BEN MILLER leaves nothing to chance and leads its total guitar repertoire into the field. He who expects now an endless sound would be mistaken, finally to find within the twelve songs are two pure instrumental numbers. After its debut album "Each & Everyday", that was able to provide already positive voices, "Farther Than The Eye Can Stare" adds more consistent further development. He who likes it happy,free, and groovig, should buy BEN MILLERs disk at once. For the trip over the Highway, the album is suited best.---------- Tom Klaner

    author: Tim Dukes/Chicago Loop 97.9FM

    By the way Ben your Dad is one hell of an artist! I mean this cover Artwork is incredible!!

  • Unbelievable Talent!!!!!Amazing!!
    author: Chris/NIU

    I saw you play a private party at Northern Illinois University and it was crazy. People were bowing down and kissing your feet as you played. Girls went nuts. You played the same song back to back because everyone could not believe your guitar playing they had to hear it twice. Alchohol had a little bit of influence but your guitar playing was really incredible.

  • It is really good!! Ben you have more than a gift!
    author: Jimmy G/ Shapeshifter Publishing

    It is really good!!Ben you have more than a gift! I can see the unlimited potential because this is your first attempt in the rock category. You were good 10 years ago back in the old garage days when Chad and I would come visit but I'm blown away by this CD because I know what your capable of and I see more on the horizon.

  • "It's not like there's one song, the whole thing is really good!!!"
    author: Bill Scull--President of E.O. RecordsTri State Promotions & Mar

    Great instrumentation and good writing. The whole thing is really good. It's not just one song. People I've played it for say it sounds like Dire Straits and Jim Morrison. Magic Caravan and Deuces Wild are my top picks. Do you want a record deal?
