CD Reviews
Classic, timeless songwriting
Frances Botsford | boston, ma | 01/10/2007

"Milton is one of those rare finds... a great songwriter, uplifting singer, and inspiring band leader, and this cd captures it all. Milton's voice is subtle and smoky, weaving in and out of the piano on "Club Life" and "Her Place Uptown", but then comes in strong and rhythmic on "St. Anne's Parade" and "Smile Again".
While "In the City" is a fantastic ballad to New York City and the band's most well-known song, the entire album quietly catches you and pulls you back in until you find yourself humming and singing down the street.
An essential cd from a great band!!"
Milton; A professional musician that brings class back to m

"I am the director of a fine arts center in Virginia Beach and after hearing Milton's cd I invited the band down to play. They have now played two shows in our venue and everyone had a fabulous time. Milton has a vast knowledge of music and if you know anything about the musical greats of the past you should add this cd to your collection. No one left the Milton show with a frown on their face. I really hope his music takes off because he is a class act worth the price of admission."
Seeing and Hearing MILTON

"Over the past several years in New York, I've watched Milton grow from a heartfelt singer-songwriter to a confident, commanding and multi-layered band. Milton can wax wise, tender, sad and funny... sometimes all in the same song. Even if this album can't quite capture their energy on stage (that would be impossible), it's still a keeper -- full of hummable, memorable words and melodies. And when you get to see Milton live, you'll know all the words to sing along."
Milton rules!

"Some friends took me to see Milton at Joe's Pub in NY and I loved the show, so I got the CD. I got more copies to give to family and friends because I've been listening to it non-stop since the show. It is catchy, in a subtle and lovely way. The songs are really evocative, the lyrics are smart, Milton's voice is dreamy, and the music is strong and sweet."
