I had forgotten about this one...a repost!I'm noticing a disturbing trend in these collaborations with Tiven and Company - each of them ends up being the final album in the artists' career -- Arthur Alexander, Wilson Pickett, Howard Tate and now Little Milton!
"For his debut Telarc Blues release, Little Milton continues in the soul-blues vein he helped to popularize starting with his work for the Chess label in the mid-'60s. His impassioned vocals are as strong as ever with guitar chops to match. The 12 tracks that make up Think of Me could be likened to a classic Stax production sans the driving horn section. The first-rate work of organist Bruce Katz keeps the proceedings percolating through Little Milton's soul-blues base liberally mixed with flourishes of country music, swamp pop, R&B, and urban funk. Any fan of Little Milton's Malaco releases of the '80s and '90s will definitely want to add this to his collection." AMG

You know I am a fan of this guy.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, this is one of the few Little Milton albums I do not have. The man transcended genres with talent, class and panache. For that matter, this blog has also made me a fan of the Tivens' handiwork and ability to bring out the greatness of a performer. Thanks again.
Wowwww, one more opus from one of my preferd ! Many thanks, KC.

Many thanks to everyone concerned for all of the excellent Little Milton posts recently. I think he was a fantastic - underrated - artists who recorded top class soul/blues at every label he appeared on for over 50 years.
