Miller forsook his love of the blues for this and its sister project Book Of Dreams. In turning to mainstream pop/rock he became a huge star and developed the knack of delivering high-quality three-minute songs that were perfect for FM radio.
The album is linked by Miller's fascination with electronic sounds, sandwiched between the irresistible title track, the Bonnie and Clyde tale of 'Take The Money And Run', the irritatingly simple 'Rock 'n' Me' and the subdued 'The Window', with its quirky lyric 'ask my baby what she wants to be, she says a monkey in a tree'. His baby replies 'there's nothing greater than love', true enough. After all, it was Miller who rhymed 'northern California' with 'girls are warm yeah'.

Uncut (p.90) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "Today, FLY... sounds as set in stone as DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. What's surprising is that it seems every bit as artful, too."

This is one of their finer albums one that stands out the most it has several of their well known songs on it love listening to it from their title track Fly Like An Eagle which was a radio hit at the time and got lots of radio play which really got me into them and have liked them ever since one of my must have albums.
