Review: Chocolate Milk's 1975 debut Action Speaks Louder Than Words stands as a funk and soul cornerstone from New Orleans. Produced by the legendary Allen Toussaint, the album showcases the band's masterful blend of local musical traditions with contemporary funk and soul influences. The title track, a standout single, has left an enduring mark on music, sampled by major artists such as Public Enemy, Eric B & Rakim and Aaliyah. This reissue enhances this classic with a full remastering on striking red vinyl. The album's themes of social awareness and personal reflection, coupled with its infectious grooves and tight musicianship, continue to captivate listeners and collectors alike. Fans of funk and soul should be excited with the news of this fresh pressing of a timeless gem.
