Here Come the Miracles

Here Come the Miracles is a double album by Steve Wynn. It was released in 2001 on Blue Rose Records. It is the first album in Wynn's "desert trilogy".

Production
The album was recorded in Tucson, Arizona, at Wavelab Studios. Wynn's friends Linda Pitmon (drums), Chris Brokaw (guitar), and Chris Cacavas (keyboards) played on the album.

Critical reception
No Depression wrote that "Wynn’s nineteen-song cycle of a Southern California suspended between the millennium and the apocalypse infuses his literary aspirations with rock ‘n’ roll smarts, as if he's fronting Raymond Chandler's supercharged garage band." The Los Angeles Times called the album "a freewheeling yet self-assured balance of Wynn’s own voice and the influences long associated with him--the darkness of the Velvet Underground, the spaciousness of Neil Young and the oblique introspection of Bob Dylan." The Washington Post called the album the best of Wynn's career. The Cleveland Scene called it "an amazing, visionary double CD, a voyage through the psychic topography of contemporary Los Angeles that taps into and expresses deep fears as well as hopes for redemption."
