Roy Milton: Roy Milton - Rocks (CD)

1-CD (Digipak) with 36-page booklet, 31 tracks. Total playing time  aprox. 78 min.

  • A brimful CD compilation dedicated to the important R&B pioneer Roy Milton in the continuously updated ‘Rocks’ series on Bear Family Records®.
  • Milton is considered one of the originators of the jump blues genre on the U.S. West Coast.
  • The album features his rockin’est, fast numbers recorded with his great band between 1946 and ‘63 for such record labels as Specialty, DooTone, King, Warwick, Cenco and Thunderbird.
  • Musical highlights include Red Light, Milton’s Boogie, Hop, Skip And Jump, Junior Jives, You Got Me Reeling And Rocking and Rocking Pneumonia And The Boogie Woogie Flu.
  • His 1955 Specialty single What Can I Do is reissued here for the first time on CD.
  • Johnny 'Junior' Rogers, Roy Gaines and Roy Montrell are three of the outstanding guitarists.
  • Expertly narrated by Bill Dahl, plus lots of photos and illustrations in the substantial booklet and recordings carefully remastered for this edition.

Any comprehensive list of postwar rhythm and blues pioneers has to position Roy Milton and his band, The Solid Senders, right near its top. The Los Angeles-based Milton was a rock-solid drummer whose rich, full-bodied vocals were perfect for the swinging stormers that comprise Bear Family’s ‘Roy Milton Rocks.’ 

His combo, anchored by Camille Howard’s rippling boogie piano and accentuated by a punchy small horn section (and as time went by, Johnny ‘Junior’ Rogers’ dazzling guitar work), helped define the jump blues genre, which in turn provided an indelible blueprint for the first wave of rock and roll. 

This compilation spans the band’s incredible career from their early days of recording in L.A. with the madly jumping Red Light to their hitmaking heyday on Specialty Records (Milton’s Boogie, Hop, Skip, And Jump, Oh Babe!, and the jaw-dropping Rogers-led instrumentals Junior Jives and Junior Jumps are among the highlights) through his mid-‘50s hookups with DooTone (Fools Are Getting Scarcer, You Got Me Reeling And Rocking, and two killers with his wife Mickey Champion fronting, the scorching Bam-A-Lam and a swaggering I’m A Woman) and King (the instrumental Succotash and Roy’s cover of Huey Smith and The Clowns’ Rocking Pneumonia And The Boogie Woogie Flu) and his later waxings for Warwick, Cenco, and Thunderbird. 

A plethora of additional heavyweights passed through The Solid Senders-saxists Buddy Floyd, Jackie Kelso, and Eddie Taylor, guitarists Roy Montrell and Roy Gaines, bassist Dallas Bartley – but Milton was the primary focal point, a visionary early R&B architect who deserves a considerably higher profile in the annals of music history.

"Roy Milton"

Roy Milton,

Roy Milton, a drummer and vocalist from Wynnewood, Oklahoma, moved to Los Angeles where he and his group, the Solid Senders — Ben Waters (tenor sax), John Kelson (alto), Arthur Walker (trumpet), Camille Howard (piano), Johnny Rodgers (guitar) and Dallas Bartley (drums) —monopolized the R&B charts through 1946 to 1952 with a series of gutty and repetitive jazz-based blues. His Top Ten hits included `RM Blues' and 'Milton Boogie' (on Jukebox in 1946) and 'True Blues', 'Thrill Me', 'The Hucklebuck', `Oh Baby', 'T-Town Twist' and `So Tired' on Specialty. As city blues waned in popularity, Milton recorded less successfully for Cenco, Warwick, Thunderbird and Kent.

Completely underrated R&B artist

Top compilation and winner for the 'ROCKS' series!

26 Nov 2023

Einzigartig!

Roy MIlton gilt als Mitbegründer des Jump Blues-Genres! Sein einzigartiger Stil beeinflusste viele nachfolgenden Bands und Musiker. Bear Family veröffentlicht hier einige seiner schnellsten und rockigsten Titel zwischen 1946 und 1961. Großes Kino!

I really enjoyed the Roy Milton Rocks CD

I really enjoyed the Roy Milton Rocks CD. There were several tunes on there I hadn't heard before.

20 Sep 2023

This Roy Milton compilation is a more than fantastic tribute to the architect of the West Coast jump blues. Recommended!

​The American singer, songwriter, drummer and band leader Roy Milton was one of the most important pioneers of rhythm & blues. Milton is regarded as one of the artists who shaped the jump blues on the West Coast. His rocking drumming style and powerful, dynamic voice also gave a very personal touch to the genre. Genre that was also a blueprint of the first wave of the later emerging rock and roll. That Bear Family adds Milton to the 'Rocks' series is therefore commendable.
