Were there a definitive blues thesaurus, Little Milton Campbell would have at least two quotes listed: "Hey, hey, the blues is all right!" and "If I don't feel it, I don't do it!" Taking its title from the latter, Milton's 14th album for Malaco since 1983 shows why he belongs in the highest echelon of soul-blues singers and guitarists. He's especially expressive on ballads, showing the value of ardent devotion in "The Love of a Woman" and taking stock of betrayal in "You're Givin' Me the Blues." Milton shines on medium-tempo numbers, too, cutting to the emotional quick of the cheating cautionary tale "Born Yesterday," to name one. He knows what songs from his record label's stable of writers suit him to a tee, picking wrong just once with the cliché-ridden "Baby, Let Me Rock You." --Frank-John Hadley

4.0 out of 5 stars R.I.P. Blues Legend, November 20, 2005

This review is from: Feel It (Audio CD)

The blues community has recently lost many of its legends, including the great Little Milton Campbell, who made many recordings during his career. While `Feel It' doesn't add much to his discography, it is Milton doing what he does best, playing great soul-blues. Like most of his Malaco releases, the set list varies from straight blues (the two originals, "I Gotta Get Away From You", "You're Giving Me the Blues") soul ("Shot from the Saddle", "Born Yesterday") and ballads ("Loveable Girl", "If You Give Me You're Heart"). There are a few surprises to, including the rique "She Know How to Wear A Hat" (rare for Milton to do a song like that). The last two songs are a bit of a risk for Milton (Patsy Cline's "He's Got You", Lionel Ritchie's "Lady") but he is able to pull them off.
Little Milton left a large discography behind to remember him by. While `Feel It' doesn't rank near the top of his discography, it is still an enjoyable reminder of this true blues legend.
