Dave “Biscuit” Miller is a bass player and singer originally from Chicago, now living in Indianapolis. He spent ten years with Lonnie Brooks and also worked with Anthony Gomes before setting out on his own. I believe that this is his second solo CD and this one is all his own work as he wrote all the tunes and produced the album.
Biscuit’s touring band is called The Mix and there is a real mix of material here. I had expected a lot of funk and there is some here, but the CD is far more varied than that label might suggest. Biscuit has also drawn on friends from the blues world to assist, so we have performances from a wide variety of guests, including Billy Branch on harp, Ronnie Baker Brooks and Shawn Kellerman on guitar and Andrew “Blaze” Thomas on drums. The regular ‘Mix’ is Biscuit’s cousin Ivan Daddy I Wallace on guitar, Bobby Wilson, also on guitar, Deryl Coutts on keyboards and Dr Love on drums


Biscuit Miller: Blues With a Smile – (Blue-bass 10; 52:49 a??a??a??1/2)
Indianapolis singer-bassist Miller, a practicing optimist who worked a long time with Chicago guitarist Lonnie Brooks, projects overtones of blues, funk and soul that lend unstudied conviction to a program of a dozen original tunes. He’s a real crowd-pleaser, quick with sensual come-ons, as on the metaphor-feast “Butter My Biscuits” and the dreamy, tender-hearted “Blow A Kiss.” His deepest plunge into hard-core, non-smiling blues is “Never Seen It Coming,” where his vocal is equaled in force and poignancy by the electric guitar of Bobby Wilson. Joined by a choir, Miller stomps his way to gospel ecstasy in “Sing For The People.” He should make a full album of exciting worship music
