Returning to the RCA label for the first time since the early 1990s, Ronnie Milsap released his most vital album in at least that many years with MY LIFE. Produced by Keith Stegall, best known for his work with Nashville superstars like George Strait and Alan Jackson, the 2006 album is the country soulster's least slick and most self-assured since his hitmaking heyday. The title track and the lilting, summery "Local Girls" are among the album's highest points, but Milsap is in strong soulful voice throughout.
Born blind, pianist Ronnie Milsap played a soulful, bluesy brand of country music that made him a superstar by the end of the '70s. Milsap was a former sessionman for Elvis Presley, Dionne Warwick and Petula Clark (among others). Milsap's passionate ballads, live shows and reworkings of pop and R&B standards brought him a record number of awards (including six Grammys) and multiplatinum sales. He continued to record and perform into the 2000s.
