Description
Malford Milligan is an American, Austin, Texas-based soul, blues and gospel singer who has been compared to Otis Redding, Al Green and James Carr. He is an eight-time award-winner as "Best Vocalist" at the annual Austin Music Awards (last awarded in 2015).
Life Will Humble You is an intense & autobiographical album about reflecting on life, losing people and gaining wisdom. Milligan and co-writer Jack Hustinx sing about the roads they have travelled have been an interesting and meaningful journey, teaching them that "life will humble you" as you go along, with all its ups & downs and pros & cons.
Musically this is Malford Milligan going back to his bare roots, a perfect melting-pot of traditional old-school soul and r&b, country-soul as recorded at the Muscle Shoals and Stax studios, some Southern gospel, and several other essential musical ingredients from the Southern parts of the United States. In short soulful americana, in its purest form: stripped down, rootsy, groovy, intense, organic and intimite.
