Reggie Miles... Songwriter, Singer, Storyteller, Slide Guitarist and Sawplayer Turns trash into musical treasure, his own homemade Nobro resophonic guitars, constructed from repurposed junk culled from garage sales, swap meets, thrift stores... Earthy vocals, Delta style bottleneck slidin' and the rhythmic moans of harmonica combine, while foot stompin' abounds, to create an Acoustic Roots Blues sound as authentic as you'll hear north of the Mason Dixon Line. An aficionado of storytelling, tall tales are intricately woven effortlessly into the fabric of music and songs A Folk/Blues fingerpicker of whimsical found and self-penned songs A virtuoso in the musical folk art of bowed hand saw melodies. An award winning songwriter, recording and performance artist who has gained multinational media attention via recent compositions like, "Wall Street Bailout Blues". Featured in a half dozen documentary film and video projects, on the recordings of more than a dozen Northwest artists, in addition to 21 self produced recordings since 1995. What others are saying about Reggie Miles... "Channeled Bukka White, Furry Lewis, Robert Johnson, Ken Kesey, and Salvadore Dali." (Brian G) "Traditional bluesie - brilliant... A mixture of Bluesey, jazzy, juggy, eclectic stuff... Solid" (Rick Fielding) "Shel Silverstein meets Leonard Cohen" (Anon) "Country blues with a novelty twist....a down home gravely voice and a driving slide guitar." (Chris Lunn, Victory Music Review) "I've been to LA. I've been to New York. I've been to San Francisco, Chicago, Memphis, Kansas City and New Orleans and I have never heard anybody like you!" (Anon) "Tom Waits meets Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Great music!" (Chris) "Reggie Miles in my humble opinion is great! It just does not get any better than this. What a talent! Oh, and by the way, I love the sound of that 'resonator guitar' he uses!" (Ron Ryan, Ghost writer for The Dave Clark Five) "One part Sonny Terry, one part Tiny Tim, three parts Mister T" (Amos Jessup) "Extremely entertaining and downright fun! Wonderfully wacky... Reggie Miles has succeeded in capturing the vaudevillian essence of depression era blues. Amazingly eerie, bizarre, interpretations featuring Reggie playing a saw." (Diane Wells)

Story behind the song
We all have an instinctive need for love. Our attempt to fulfill this need is what drives us. Most of us spend our lives either seeking love, or recovering from the loss of it, as we search for another lover.
Lyrics
Another Lover by Reggie Miles © 2012 All rights reserved You used to love me, yesterday. Now you left me, you’ve went away. I’ve been searchin’, the lonely night through. Lookin’ for another lover like you. Another lover, Someone who won’t leave me ‘lone and blue, Another lover, Who can love me like you used to do. When we met, I lost control. You hypnotized me, you stole my soul. You chewed me up, and now you’re spittin’ me out. I was a fool, and there’s no doubt. I need a lover, Someone who won’t leave me ‘lone and blue, Another lover, Who can love me like you used to do. Love’s a gamble, every day. Get what you give, that’s what they say. You want to leave me. You don’t have to linger. Gave you my ring, you just gave me the finger. I need a lover, Someone who won’t leave me ‘lone and blue, Another lover, Who can love me like you used to do.
