Born 2 B Blue is the debut solo album by Steve Miller, released in 1988 by Capitol Records,[1] and his only album to not be released under the Steve Miller Band moniker. It consists primarily of jazz standards reinterpreted in a more modern context. It represented a departure from Miller's work with the Steve Miller Band. The album was Miller's final release for Capitol Records, after 20 years with the label.
Critical reception
