Storyville are Malford Milligan (vocals), David Holt and David Grissom (guitars), Tommy Shannon (bass) and Chris Layton (drums).
I first came across Malford Milligan on the 2001 Double Trouble album Been A Long Time where he sings lead track Cry Sky.
This album is from the mid-90s and highlights his excellent voice and great guitar play between Holt and Grisson. Double Trouble are, well, Double Trouble - if you've heard any Stevie Ray Vaughan albums, you'll know how good these guys are together.
For me all tracks are excellent each having a lovely easy-paced blues feeling, however if I had to pick out a couple of tracks. I'd go for 'Good Day for the Blues', Don't Make Me Cry, What Passes For Love and the title track.
If you're looking for somthing to compare it to, then go for SRVs In Step or the Arc Angels self-titled album. If you like those, you'll like this.

Exceptional Talents
6 Oct 2003
Format:Audio CD
Just knowing this band will never produce another album gives me the -- BLUES!!! I have been a blues lover/collector of many artists and blues styles since the 50's, and by accident had downloaded and listened to "A Good Day for the Blues"... "who's that?" And played it again... it just knocked my socks off... and now was driven to learn the singer's name. Only to find out its some guy with the name Malford Milligan, while playing the song again, and again, and asking myself "who's Malford Milligan?" So, I continue searching only to learn this band no longer existed, and left in its wake the three albums, as their legacy, "Dog Years", "Bluest Eyes", and "A Piece of Your Soul." I have spend the last four months listening to and now finally acquiring ALL their albums, and wondering "WHY" this band didn't go platinum across the board and far into the future? Their sound is deeply rooted in the blues, and as Albert King said "The Blues Don't Change!" This group was VERY special and whoever fronted as their agents/promoters failed not only the artists, but sadly modern blues lovers the world over. And I am still left wondering "who's Malford Milligan?" The combo of David Grissom's creative writing/guitar talents with Malford's vocals is exceptional and should never have been severed. So, I am left wondering and searching to find where they (Malford and David) are today, so "IF" anybody knows what groups they are with I would appreciate an e-mail alert, it would be much appreciated.

This band should have made it - exc. CD.
24 Feb 2001
Format:Audio CD
Storyville is a guitar band with some great guitar riffs and excellent vocals. This band has a slight R&B feel but also reminds me some of Bad Company. They feature Stevie Ray Vaughan's Double Trouble. And I think had the expectations not been so great for this band, they might have lasted a little longer. However, because many thought they would be a supergroup, the pressure to sell tons of records was maybe a bit much. It is too bad because this is a very good band.
They sound the best on the ballads as their harmonies are just superb. David Grissom who wrote most of the songs on A Piece of Your Soul, is at his best on the ballads. My absolute favorite is "Share that Smile",if Top 40 radio was still around, this would have been a big hit. Stand out songs on A Piece of Your Soul are "Good Day for the Blues" (tr#2), "Don't Make me Cry" (tr#4) and "Share That Smile" (tr#11).

Just Gotta Have It!
5 Jun 2000
Format:Audio CD
I've been blessed to see these guys play together live many times and have to say that the waiting period for this album to be released darned near drove me crazy with anticipation! Now that the band is no longer together )=, "A Piece of Your Soul" (along with its predecessor, "Bluest Eyes", and its follow up, "Dog Years") stays in constant rotation through my various CD players. I even bought an extra one for backup in case something happens to my original copy! "Solid Ground", "Bitter Rain", and "A Piece of Your Soul" are a few of the harder edged tracks that'll get your blood pumpin', while "Cynical" and "Share that Smile" will give you a chance to take a breather from whatever's got your blood pressure up. "Good Day for the Blues" rolls the two styles together to create what has truly become an anthem for those of us in the know. Two things sadly missing are David Grissom's extended intro on "Good Day for the Blues" and the mid-tune dueling guitar jams that Grissom and David Lee Holt played during live performances which took the whole house to a higher level; but if you have a passion for soul-touchin', happy-feet makin', booty-shakin', rockin' Texas blues... without this album (CD), your collection is incomplete!
