We're Gonna Make It (Chess Acoustic Sounds Series) - CD

Little Milton brought the emotional depth of the blues and modern sound of soul together with remarkable power on his 1965 album, We're Gonna Make It. After joining Chess Records through it's Checker imprint in the early '60s, the Mississippi-born guitarist and singer-songwriter revitalized the label with a new sound. The title track, an anthem for the growing civil rights movement, topped the R&B chart for 3 weeks straight. The album showcases Milton's vocal control and expert phrasing which defined his crossover success. Highlights include, "Who's Cheating Who?" "Blind Man," and "Stand By Me." Bring home the sound of America's greatest blues label in high fidelity with the Chess Records Acoustic Sounds Series. These audiophile reissues of classic albums and compilations from the Chess discography are remastered from the original analog tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings (QRP). Each disc is packaged in tip-on gatefold sleeves printed on high-grade board.
