What a great CD ! As A life-long fan of rock n' roll and rhythm and blues, I am ashamed that I was not familiar with this gentleman's music. I was tipped off in the liner notes of a CD by another talented guy, Mitch Woods. When Mitch mentioned Roy Milton as an influence, I had to check him out--so thank you Mitch, wherever you are !
This generously-filled disc doesn't have even one weak track. As others have noted, if you like Louis Jordan, Joe Turner, Wynonie Harris and others who form the "glue" between jazz, blues and rock n' roll, your collection is not complete without Roy Milton.
Highly recommended !

This review is from: Roy Milton and His Solid Senders (Legends of Specialty Series) (Audio CD)

The Ace Roy Milton volumes are brilliant collections of his best material. Roy Milton was along with Louis Jordan and Big Joe Turner, one of the most important and hitmaking R&B band leaders. His band was always tight and swinging, and Roy's songs were the most popular jump blues of the day. This collection has the hits and have many of his greatest songs. You won't find a more beautiful blues song than 'Night and Day' or a more swinging than 'R.M.Blues' and 'Bartender's boogie'. A higly recommended buy, as are the other two volumes in the series. I love this one.
