Steve Miller will release Bingo! on his own Space Cowboy Records label on June 15. The blues oriented album will feature songs by B.B. King ("Rock Me Baby"), Jimmie Reed ("You Got Me Dizzy") and three Jimmie Vaughan songs. Miller also plans to put a companion album out in the spring of 2011.

"This is a party record, man," Miller told Billboard.com. "It's about getting up and getting ready to dance. It's like the fraternity party gigs I used to play in college. I went through and picked all my favorite tunes that I really, really loved. I wanted to make this record forever; it started off as just kind of a goof, and then it got real serious."

Miller and his band will be touring the U.S. this summer starting May 21 in Henderson, Nevada with plans in the works for a subsequent European tour. For some fascinating background information on Steve Miller check out Gibson.com’s recent in-depth interview with the Joker.
