"Although i'm such a big fun of Steve i didn't expect such a brilliant album.Alternative rock at its best.You can find all Steve's heroes here from Bob Dylan to Neil Young influences from the psychedelic sixties era and a bit of nostalgia for the Dream Syndicate days(The Days Of Wine And Roses).Steve has a perfect way of bringing out the best from his fellow musicians and you have the impression that what you hear is a result from a group of people who absolutely enjoy thereselves and in rock n' roll that's the issue!Beautiful lyrics and some dreamy melodies show that Mr.Wynn is one of the best songwriters of his time.So i still can't understand why some so called important music magazines don't pay much attention to him and istead they are trying to persuade us that such groups as Oasis Radiohead or System Of A Down are the future of rock n'roll..please!!!However Steve doesn't care much about all this publicity all he cares about is his music and the result is great albums as HERE COME THE MIRACLES"
Guitar Noir Classic is Best of Artist!

"Steve Wynn has always been the Raymond Chandler or James Ellroy of rock and with HERE COME THE MIRACLES, Wynn ascends to a level equal to his literary aspirations. In fact, there is even an actual real-life mutual admiration pact between modern noir writer George R. Pelicanos and Wynn with the paperback writer often having his fictional characters listening to music by Wynn or his band Dream Syndicate. This association between the rocker and the writer was further advanced when Pelicanos wrote Wynn's press biography with the release of HERE COME THE MIRACLES and the two men interviewed each other over drinks for MAGNET Magazine. HERE COMES THE MIRACLES is Steve Wynn's Guitar Noir tour-de-force. Two CDs of brilliant songwriting bashed out with reckless abandon by Wynn and his ace combo. At times it's a bit sprawling, like the city of Los Angeles that inspired it, at times infused with pathos, but ultimately redemption is sought and found in the closing song "There Will Come A Day." If you have yet to hear this epic masterwork from one of rock's latter day masters, you owe it to yourself to check it out!"
IMPORT AND DOMESTIC VERSIONS ARE THE SAME

"don't spend twice as much for the exact same 2CD. The domestic version of this release is also imported from Blue Rose and sold through the domestic Innerstate label. It's the exact same thing as this version being sold as an "import." Don't cough up 2x as much money to get the same thing. Caveat emptor."
