I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, MVP, from the Milligan - Vaughan Project and it's a cool rocker. Opening with Soul Satisfaction, lead vocalist Malford Milligan teams up with guitarist Tyrone Vaughan for a classic rocker, backed by Chris Maresh on bass, and Brannen Temple on drums. Shuffle track, Driving You, has a cool saunter and low slung guitar work from Vaughan sets the track off nicely. Buddy Guy's, Leave My Girl Alone, is one of my favorite tracks with super gritty vocals and creamy guitar tones. Vaughan really cuts loose on this one with voracious guitar soloing, backed by Temple on drums, Jay Stiles on keys, Jorge Castillo on guitar and Jeff Hayes on bass. Classic jazz track, Compared To What, made popular by Les McCann and Eddie Harris finds new wheels here with solid vocals, a vibrant solo by Vaughan and electric keys by Michael Ramos. Another really nice track is original, Devil's Breath with soulful vocals by Milligan and stinging guitar riffs over heavy bass by Temple. Wrapping the release is Leon's Palace Of the King. Using Leon like guitar phrasing and powerful R&B vocals, this is a real strong closer for a cool new release.
