Let Your Hair Down is the seventeenth studio album by the Steve Miller Band, released on April 19, 2011.[1]
Let Your Hair Down was recorded alongside the group's previous album, Bingo!, which was released 10 months earlier. Like Bingo!, this album is a collection of blues and R&B covers, and as of 2024, it is the Steve Miller Band's most recent studio album.
Like Bingo, the artwork was designed by StormStudios, with a plethora of visual puns used in the pictures (the cover shows a man with no hair, but a hare sitting on his head, and a small ladder at the side).
