Here Come the Miracles is a double album by Steve Wynn.[2] It was released in 2001 on Blue Rose Records. It is the first album in Wynn's "desert trilogy".[1]
The album was recorded in Tucson, Arizona, at Wavelab Studios.[3] Wynn's friends Linda Pitmon (drums), Chris Brokaw (guitar), and Chris Cacavas (keyboards) played on the album.
No Depression wrote that "Wynn’s nineteen-song cycle of a Southern California suspended between the millennium and the apocalypse infuses his literary aspirations with rock ‘n’ roll smarts, as if he's fronting Raymond Chandler's supercharged garage band."[4] The Los Angeles Times called the album "a freewheeling yet self-assured balance of Wynn’s own voice and the influences long associated with him--the darkness of the Velvet Underground, the spaciousness of Neil Young and the oblique introspection of Bob Dylan."[3] The Washington Post called the album the best of Wynn's career.[5] The Cleveland Scene called it "an amazing, visionary double CD, a voyage through the psychic topography of contemporary Los Angeles that taps into and expresses deep fears as well as hopes for redemption."[6]
