The Milk Men are not trying to reinvent the wheel but what they are doing is creating fun filled R&B Blues. iI might be no frills Rock & Roll but it is pure honest and very good. The video and single ‘Waiting For Some Rock ‘n’ Roll’ exemplifies this as aliens get their first taste of Rock. Vocalist/Guitarist, Jamie Smy permeates the fun factor with his zany infectious delivery.

​

Each song has a familiarity about it that will have you scratching your head as to where you have heard it before. I don’t know if that is deliberate or intended but it appears that a snippet of sound has been taken and a new song has been built around it. Track 3, ‘Down In The Hole’ is a prime example of this, a ZZ Top infused rhythm and insistent riff reminds me of something but I can’t put my finger on it, it leaves me hot blooded.

​

‘Loving You Baby’ has a gentle acoustic vibe that will become something of an earworm, ooh ‘I’m loving you baby’. The action-packed tempo of ‘Give It Up’ follows with a punky edge and a feelgood factor that won’t require a doctor. As the album proceeds it displays many facets and faces, ‘Little Devil’ sees Smy turn into Rod Stewart, something he continues to do to great effect on ‘Another You’, it is a sultry heartfelt ballad as it is realised time after time that you are the one…

​

Now it’s time for ‘Jimmy The Weasel' and some tasty guitar fuelled Rock N Roll, nice turn of pace, na, na, na na! Hailing from London, The Milk Men have a long history of playing around the pub scene becoming a band in 2014 and releasing their debut in 2015. Milky Way sees them stretch out and expand on the Blues theme this release will only enhance their reputation.

​

Closing number ‘Evergreen’ is a slow impassioned song that really showcases their credentials, it features some glorious lead guitar with some tender vocals; all members really blend together on this beautifully. What more can I say other than this is quality Blues from start to finish: it’s gold top, a crate one.
