Black Milk is the third album by Australian blues rock band Beasts of Bourbon which was recorded in 1990 and originally released on the Red Eye label.[1] [2]

Details

Salmon said, "We recorded Black Milk with all these crazy dynamics and there's too many ideas on it really. I love it! The Beasts Of Bourbon really believed could do anything. I was willing to use that idea to get my songs on, like "Cool Fire" would never dare be presented to the Scientists – it's an old 40s sounding song. We've tried to be like Dr. John, every song on the album is different."[3]

Reception

In the review on Allmusic, Skip Jansen states "Third album from the Australian garage punk and pub rock super-group is a fine album of lurching blues-driven rock, though it pales by comparison to the two previous albums".
