This two part playlist was first posted last year, but was later taken down. Somehow I was able to locate the audio files. The playlist features artists born in St. Louis, who grew up in St. Louis, spent their formative musical years in St. Louis, or who got their start in the city. St. Louis once had a vibrant Soul & Blues scene, particularly in the 1950's, 60's and 70's. The St. Louis area also has...

Little Milton made his last batch of great studio recordings for the legendary Stax label during the early '70s, releasing the studio sets Waiting for Little Milton and Blues 'N Soul, live outings like What it Is, and a clutch of excellent 45s. Walking the Back Streets, released years after his stint with the label had ended, gathers cuts that didn't appear on the full-length albums. For his backing...

Quite possibly the greatest all-round talent in contemporary blues, Milton C. "Little Milton" Campbell sang with splendor and delivered crackling, assertive fills and solos on what is arguably his finest release. "That's What Love Will Do" has a great funk backbeat, ideal mix of humor and resignation and a super guitar interlude. Both the title cut and "Walking the Back Streets & Crying" showcase Milton's...

Milton "Little Milton" Campbell, Jr. (September 7, 1934—August 4, 2005) was a blues vocalist and guitarist best known for his hits "Grits Ain't Groceries" and "We're Gonna Make It." Most popular in the sixties, he became one of the lesser known greats of the genre, combining traditional lyrical structure with smoother production. Born in the Mississippi Delta town of Inverness and raised in Greenville...

"This record shows my band's willingness to 'get out of the box,'" states Darrell, "to try more obscure things." Offerings like their scorching remake of Little Milton's "Lonely Man," complete with Moeller's fiery fretwork and resounding horns, and Gomes' silky smooth "Handle It With Care," leave plenty of chances to tap into a wealth of creativity. Darrell's Blues-soaked "Good Thing" has a classic...

Denver Post columnist David Harsanyi channels Little Milton (the singer, not the economist) while watching Congress' latest hearings about baseball and steroids and feels so bad he feels a ballgame on a rainy day: Clemens probably did it [used performance-enhancing drugs]. But that fact should not obscure larger questions: Since when is it Congress' bailiwick to run banana trials? After all, drug...
