:: Release Notes:
::
::
:: As the originator of the anthemic, near ubiquitous "The Blues
:: Is Alright," Little Milton could easily coast on his laurels,
:: riding out his days as elder statesman to the soul/blues
:: genre he practically created and certainly popularized since
:: his Sun label days the early '50s. Though perhaps not as much
:: an ambassador for the blues form as the similarly styled B.B.
:: King, Milton remains just as revered for his longevity,
:: tenacity, and talent.
::
:: For his 2005 Telarc label debut, the 71-year-old
:: guitarist/singer/songwriter found a kindred spirit in
:: producer/guitarist Jon Tiven. Together, they composed all the
:: songs for a remarkably consistent comeback. Discarding the
:: strings, horns, and lavish production that blues purists
:: often felt drowned Milton's substantial talents, Tiven keeps
:: the sound lean and tough. Milton responds with his toughest
:: performance in years, wading in the Southern swamps for "Next
:: to You," pleading with that patented aged-whiskey voice on
:: the sumptuous "Reconsider Me," and tearing into the superb
:: soul-blues style he's best known for on the crackling
:: mid-tempo opener "Gonna Find Me Somebody to Love." Those new
:: to Little Milton's legendary talents--and even older fans who
:: might have lost track throughout the years--will find the
:: icon in splendid form on this magnificent release.
