In the 1970s, Frankie Miller was a particular favourite of Peel, and did five sessions for the DJ's shows. The first of these included a version of Peel's favourite Bob Dylan song, "It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry". Miller's record company had enough faith in the singer to fly him to New Orleans, where he recorded his High Life LP at the studio of producer Allen Toussaint, and in 1976, Frankie Miller recorded Toussaint's "Brickyard Blues" for a Peel session. Peel predicted great things for the artist in the mid to late seventies, as is perhaps best evidenced on the end of year show 1977 when he plays the same track ("Be Good To Yourself") twice in the space of fifteen minutes.

In 2003, Miller returned to the Peel tracklistings when the DJ played a string of the singer's singles from the 1970s as a consequence of receiving a letter giving details of Miller's slow recovery to health following the brain haemorrhage he'd suffered in 1994.
