For the members of Red Wanting Blue, the music industry is exactly like a circus; it’s a world of dreams, a place where everything is seen through the wonder of a child, a new town every night, and a funhouse where anything can happen. Unlike bands that curse the distance logged on tour, Red Wanting Blue cherishes each mile and treats the road as a badge of honor because each mile is proof of their survival.
Oh you can’t be in the circus
If you don’t wanna leave town
No destination’s too far from us now
-- “Where You Wanna Go”
Years of patience and hard work earned them a deal with Fanatic Records (EMI/Caroline) and a rerelease of These Magnificent Miles nationally in 2010. To go along with the compact disc, Fanatic also issued a deluxe double-LP edition which included full-color LP sleeves in a gatefold jacket featuring the art of John Terry (brother of the band’s lead singer Scott Terry).
As if destiny was in the cards, film director Ken Davenport was alongside the band during the recording of the album. The recording process, traveling on the road, and those precious moments in time just before a band gets signed formed the basis of a documentary called These Magnificent Miles: On The Long Road With Red Wanting Blue.
Highlights include “You’re My Las Vegas,” “Where You Wanna Go,” “The World Is Over,” “Finger In The Air,” “Red Ryder,” “The Air I Breathe,” “Spacetime,” “Probably Nothing,” and “The Band.”
