Ronnie Milsap has been a professional musician for more than fifty years and a chart-topping genre-hopper for over forty, and his vocal and keyboard chops blend country and R&B with a fluid grace that's become his own unique signature. Summer Number Seventeen isn't much of a stretch for his talents, but more a leisurely stroll through the sounds that influenced him at each stage of his career...

After a few years of focusing on his Gospel side, seven time CMA Award winning Ronnie Milsap has returned to country with Country Again. The album finds the five time Grammy winner completely embracing the kind of songs that made the crooner a star in the first place. Country Again kicks off with ballad "Better Word For Love" and instantly shows that the 68 year-old Milsap still has a fantastic voice, rich with texture and a tone matched by few artists...

The numbers speak for themselves. 40 number one hits, millions of albums sold, multiple crossover hits. To say Ronnie Milsap is anything but a star would fly in the face of conventional wisdom. With nothing left to prove, Milsap has slowed his touring and recordings but with "Then Sings My Soul" the 66-year-old returns with a double disc offering of 24 Gospel favorites...

On his first album for a new label, Ronnie Milsap musters all his old strengths ? great R&B; grooves, a natural gift for wedding modern attitude and old-fashioned rock, and vocally, at least, the elasticity of a trampoline. Unfortunately, he also drags out his major weakness ? a tendency to slog through sappy Barry Manilow territory. But on True Believer Milsap takes more chances than he has dared to in a decade and largely succeeds.

Ronnie Milsap, who in recent years turned into one of country-pop's wimpiest ballad singers, has recovered from his BarryManilow phase, only to fall victim to a Black Attack. Milsap may havedone whitewashed R&B; in the past, but now he suffers from serious Isaac Hayes delusions, devoting roughly half of Back to the Grindstone to LasVegas-style funk and rap. Essentially, Milsap layers raspy vocalsover a big, rousing chorus and lots of thumping bass ? a Nashvillesinger's hokey idea of modern soul...

Prior to 2006's My Life, Ronnie Milsap had not made an album of new material for a major label in years. The last was True Believer, recorded for Liberty in 1993, which followed Back to the Grindstone, his parting of ways with RCA Records, by two years...

Released in 1975, just as Ronnie Milsap's career was achieving cruising altitude, A Rose by Any Other Name winds up recycling much of his 1971 eponymous debut. A full five tracks are repeated from that album -- "Blue Skies of Montana," "Crying," "Keep on Smiling," "Why," and an excellent version of Kris Kristofferson's "Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends" -- and to the mix are added some good leftovers, including a good version of Mickey Newbury's "She Even Woke Me Up to Say Goodbye...
