Buddy Miles (1947-2008) was an American rock drummer, vocalist, composer, and producer. He was member of Electric Flag (1967) and a member of Jimi Hendrix’s Band of Gypsys (1969–1970). He was founder and leader of the Buddy Miles Express (1968-1994).
Album Origins
“Them Changes” is the title track of drummer Buddy Miles’ 1970 album, recorded at Audio‑Finishers Studios in Chicago and released in June 1970. Miles — co‑founder of Electric Flag and later a core member of Band of Gypsys — wrote the song himself, shaping it as a soul‑charged rock piece built around his rhythmic drive and vocal grit.
Band Lineup & Connections
Bass duties on the track were handled by Billy Cox, Miles’ Band of Gypsys bandmate and longtime Hendrix collaborator. The album’s broader lineup included David Hull, who later performed in Aerosmith’s touring configuration, and Charlie Karp, known for his work with Farrenheit and the James Montgomery Blues Band.
Chart Performance
The album made a strong multi‑chart showing:
Billboard 200: no. 35 (1970)
Jazz Albums: no. 8 (1970)
R&B Albums: no. 14 (1971)
