Released in 1965, We're Gonna Make It finds Little Milton blending the emotional depth of the blues with the smooth sophistication of soul. After joining Chess Records' Checker imprint, the Mississippi-born singer, guitarist, and songwriter helped redefine the label's sound with a series of powerful recordings.
The title track became both a major R&B hit—spending three weeks at No. 1—and an anthem of the Civil Rights Movement. Highlights such as "Who's Cheating Who?," "Blind Man," and "Stand By Me" further showcase Milton's expressive vocals, masterful guitar playing, and crossover appeal.
Part of the Chess Records Acoustic Sounds Series, this audiophile reissue is remastered from the original analogue tapes, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings (QRP), and presented in a deluxe tip-on gatefold sleeve.
