Miller flexes his Marshall tone alluringly with the holy trinity at his disposal: Les Paul, Strat and Tele. There's Gary Moore-esque guitar histrionics (The Girl That Got Awav), spacious, mournful balladry (The Wrong Name) and unfussy grooves (Road Runner). Nine elegantly crafted compositions provide sturdy foundations for that deep, expressive, soloing style of his and we, for one, are sold. Blues-rock brilliance.

Wow, he can play! It's a standard reaction to a chance encounter with British blues man Larry Miller, and is typically followed by another thought: Why isn't he a superstar?` maybe that's the Unfinished Business' Miller is referring to.

A big live draw for many years, Miller is now starting to write albums that bottle the white heat of his shows, and you sense this latest effort is his best shot at the A-list. Back in 2008, we were impressed with Outlaw Blues, but Unfinished Business is even better: a taut, fiery, ambitious record. With stinging riffs dropping like mortar fire, there's a temptation to categorise Miller as a `guitar hero` but that's a disservice to his excellent original writing and battle-scarred voice box. Business is good." ~Classic Rock Magazine
