Dirty, honking early R & B, when it really was rhythm and blues, the source of half the music you listen to. When you have the jones for some of it, nothing else will do, nothing diluted, no matter how good it is. You have to have the real thing. When that happens, Amos Milburn delivers. Big time.

Amos Milburn is one of the Assistant Musicologist's favorite artists. I like him too. And you're right about R & B music. More people should listen to the originals (although I think we've lost that game).
