Back in the mid 60s Chess Records released the iconic "Little Milton Sings Big Blues" album - widely regarded by the late great blues and soul man's many fans as one of the best of the many long players he released in a career that spanned six decades and two centuries. Now, almost half a century later, Kent has "reversed the process" by compiling the great southern soul sides that Milton cut in fifteen years plus as a Malaco records artist, to bring you - what else - "Little Milton Sings Big Soul".
Milton's Malaco albums leaned heavily towards the blues that was his stock-in-trade, but also contained great southern soul songs written by the likes of George Jackson, Phillip Mitchell, Homer Banks, O.B. McClinton, Isaac Hayes & David Porter and Frederick Knight. Those songs alone should be enough to interest any genre aficionado.
