Roy Milton and his Solid Senders - Big Fat Mama

The second Jukebox Lil compilation of Roy Milton sides was issued in 1985, two years after he passed away. The jumping instrumental “Rhythm Cocktail” was the B side of his huge hit on Jukebox, “R.M. Blues”. “I’ll Always Be In Love With You” was released on Roy’s own label (called Roy Milton) and the rest of the sides on this fine album were released on Specialty.

This compilation takes us up to the end of his Specialty career in 1953. While Roy’s style of jump blues which had brought him so much success in the 1940s and early 1950s was out of fashion by 1953, some of his later recordings for Specialty and also his subsequent waxings for Dootone in 1955 were great examples of thumping rocking rhythm and blues, as can be heard on “A Bird In The Hand.”

Tracks recorded between 1945 and 1953.

Ripped from vinyl at 320 kbps.
