In January of 1972, the Society for Literary Advancement and Gestation awarded the top prize of its Literary Competition for British children aged 7 through 16 to Gerald Bostock, an 8-year-old literary prodigy from St. Cleve. Known as "Little Milton" due to his precocious nature and advanced intelligence, the young lad from the Moordale Primary School won the countrywide competition with an epic poem entitled Thick As A Brick . His triumph would be short lived. After reading the poem on the Young Arts program on BBC [...]

Buckets Got a Hole In It - Hank Williams Juke Joint In My House - Little Milton
We're not ones to get too sentimental around here, but we couldn't pass up this opportunity to post a great track from Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears (not to be confused with UK blues act Big Joe Louis ). Although they're a current act, you'd never know it. The eight-piece ensemble pumps out dirty garage-soul that evokes the high-octane grit of luminaries like Otis Redding , Little Milton and James Brown (think Black Keys and North Mississippi All-Stars [...]

1961 Little Milton, So Mean to Me. June Carter, The Heel. A session of couples counseling: He said: you treat me like the dirt down on the ground. How can one woman be so unkind? Little Milton's "So Mean to Me" was released as Checker 994 c/w "I Need Somebody" (guess things didn't work out); on Greatest Hits. She said: why must I just sit here and grieve? Why don't I just pack up and leave

It's time for the April installment of that fantastic new series, "Mixed Messages"!!!! Mixed Messages Who's confusing us? Little Milton What about? Fidelity Ever since hearing Little Milton's 1966 single "More and More" for the first time last year, I've become quantifiably obsessed with the celebrated but still considerably underrated blues guitarist. During the 1960s, he spent most of his time aboard the Chess subsidiary label of [...]
Ella Fitzgerald . Sarah Vaughan . Nina Simone . I could listen to them all day, every day. Talk about true divas. You would be hard pressed to find a female vocalist today that lives up to that crowd. Ledisi would like to change that. Haven't heard of her? Neither had I until I spun a copy of her latest album, her third, titled Lost & Found . Considering the fact that she had been releasing her previous work on her own label, that's hardly a surprise, but with [...]

"I don't think the future is only about the musicians of the now," Cobain replies.

7 Means of Movement: Walking Edwin Starr, 25 Miles. Champion Jack Dupree, Walking The Blues. Benny Carter, A Walkin' Thing. Isn't it really quite extraordinary to see that, ever since man has walked, no one has asked himself why he walks, how he walks, if he walks, if he could walk better...questions that are tied to all the philosophical, psychological and political systems, which occupy the

So tonight I get to go up to the American Club in Kohler for a fancy shmancy banquet, which I'm very excited about because it's one of the most renowned resorts in the country, and I get to go for free. These are the perks of my job. I dig these fancy get togethers - I like puttin' on a bit of style (and of course partaking in the free booze that usually comes with them) - for whatever reason (probably a bit to do with the alcohol), I really seem to light up [...]
I guess I should have explained a bit more about the mix last time: most of the songs are tangentially related to the Body Snatchers stories at best, and the mix isn't limited to what could fit on a CD (mostly because I'm not one to make tough decisions). Along the way we'll see some songs with a passing resemblance and others that are different from how we remembered them. Betty Everett and Jerry Butler -- Love Is Strange I've written about Betty [...]
