Review by Mohnish Thallavajhula

Revelations And The Blues, the album by Big Miller, is a masterpiece of the blues genre. The album features Big Miller's deep, soulful voice and his exceptional harmonica playing. The songs are a mix of classic blues tunes and original compositions that showcase Miller's talents as a songwriter.

The album opens with the title track "Revelations And The Blues," a slow and mournful tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Miller's voice is full of emotion as he sings about the hardships of life and the healing power of the blues. Other standout tracks include "Mean Old World," a blues standard that Miller infuses with his own unique style, and "Bad Luck Blues," a song that showcases Miller's skills on the harmonica.

Throughout the album, Miller is backed by a talented group of musicians who provide a solid foundation for his vocals and harmonica playing. The arrangements are simple and effective, allowing Miller's voice and harmonica to take center stage.

Eugene's review is hmmmm... confused. Should he have another listen to this FABULOUS record, a stiff cocktail or pill of some sort might shed some light on what is actually going on in the Los Angeles studio. Let's not be too intellectual; this ain't the Wrecking Crew turning stuff topsy, but nevertheless you will hear _innovation_. And Big Miller, as Jay McShann so eloquently noted when the singer was with his band, is in a class all his own. And it's true, he is. You can hear it.Big knocked 'em dead at the Montreux festival in 1978. Yes, it was late in the career of this great man with a big heart and voice to match, but his pure sound -- the articulation of country blues and uptown sophistication of jazz -- is unmatched. When you hear singers like Adele, for one, think of Big Miller.REVELATIONS AND THE BLUES is aptly titled, and deserves a close listen.
