Milton - Besame Mucho
From Album: "Milton ~ Milton".
Milton, the modern-day troubadour with the distinctive voice and one-name moniker, is the leader of a lively, rootsy collective known for their soul-stirring live shows. Meet Milton and you will meet a tall, bookish optimist who will tell you about the “heavy” new group that he heard in a club last night and the old folk recording he listened to this morning with equal enthusiasm. The folksinger has developed a grassroots following for the warmth and spontaneity of his live shows, with a playlist that includes traditional folk, blues and country songs with old time harmonies. Earning comparisons to many of his heroes—Van Morrison, Nick Lowe, The Band—singer-songwriter Milton has distinguished himself with his unique voice and lyrics, a compelling mix of grit and grammar.
Described as a writer’s writer, capable of elegantly simple narratives about the complex wonders of life, Milton says, “I never make any rules when I write, I just follow whatever I’m writing to its end. If I write another country song or another blues song, so be it. All of my favorite American songs drew from all of the different root forms we have in this country.”
