    Little Milton may not have been the greatest R&B artist or the greatest blues artist or the greatest soul artist of all time, but he and Bobby Bland were easily the two best ever at incorporating all three genres into all their work for many decades. Little Milton could also play a downright dazzling electric blues guitar when the song at hand called for it.

    Growing up in the '60s, I had three Little Milton 45s on the Checker (division of Chicago's Chess Records) label: the magnificent message song "We're Gonna Make It" from 1965 [his biggest hit ever: #1 R&B / #18 pop]; "More and More" (famously covered by Blood, Sweat & Tears" later in 1968); and in 1969, the title song of this present stellar LP which sounds sensational on this super-high-quality stereo Japanese-import reissue.

    "Grits Ain't Groceries" is sheer late-'60s R&B greatness - an exciting, rollicking remake of the Titus Turner tune that turned out to be Little Willie John's début hit [#5 R&B] in 1955 (then titled "All Around the World"). Little Milton scored a #13 soul / # 73 pop hit with it. I thought its passionately powerful and smoldering Chicago blues B-side "I Can't Quit You Baby" (co-written by Milton, and with that dazzling guitar I mentioned) made it an unbeatable combination, worthy of of #1 - at least on the soul charts. "I Can't Quit You Baby" (all 6:42 of it) appears here as Trk 3, right after "Grits," which is as it should be. In any case, it was Chess Records' biggest R&B/soul hit of the year, which is significant considering that they were up against the Motown machine, James Brown and Aretha Franklin who combined to spend 36 (out of 52) weeks at the top of the Billboard soul chart in '69.

    Both sides of the follow-up 45 to "Grits Ain't Groceries"/"I Can't Quit You Baby" are here: "Just a Little Bit" b/w "Spring." "Just a Little Bit" (originally recorded by Tiny Topsy in 1959) is another rousing and gritty energy generator that coincidentally also peaked at #13 soul - but could only manage to crawl to the #97 position on the Hot 100 pop chart. (Neither Bobby Bland nor Little Milton were artists Top 40 stations of the era were interested in programming consistently: too soul-bluesy, as opposed to toned-down and smoothed-out Motown-y pop-soul which dominated the black-music quotient on white-run stations across the country), "Spring" is a mid-tempo groover with a hot horns, sax and organ accompaniment that won't just won't quit (truly - it goes on for an extra minute or so with Milton just joyfully ad-libbing and soul-wailing behind it.

    There is an excellent cover of Jimmy Hughes' Muscle Shoals/Fame studio original "Steal Away," while "You're the One" has Little Milton in full-on, smoky-voiced Bobby Bland R&B crooner mode. The LP closer takes him deep into B.B. King territory (guitar and all): a stunning remake of B.B.'s "Did You Ever Really Love a Woman" from 1956. For anyone looking for a shorthand way of describing Little Milton's music, you could just say he was kind of a musical cross between B.B. King and Bobby Bland, and you wouldn't be far off.
