5.0 out of 5 stars "SOMETHING WONDERFUL" !!!!!, March 15, 2010

AS any fan of Little Milton knows, his style has changed over the years: from Sun to Bobbin to Chess to Stax and onward. This cd is simply another example of the ongoing evolution of a GREAT bluesman and what an EXCELLENT testament it is! There are none of the big brass accompaniments of the Chess era, BUT what you get instead is RAW BLUES GUITAR! The songwrting is topnotch, no covers here and the arrangements are stripped down and powerful. The VOCALS are the center of attention, as you would expect, with Little Milton's tremendous VOICE singing with POWER and AUTHORITY. Highlights are the opener and...well, EVERY ONE OF THE 12 TRACKS on this cd!!! There's really not a WEAK one! Being fairly short, at just over 45 minutes, you just want to put it on repeat play: it sounds better with each listen! Nuf said!

After buying a very best album, I liked Little Milton. This album is very good. His impressive sound and voice are together formed a perfect blues sound. Different style also impressed me.

I have been a huge Little Milton Campbell fan for years since I first became aware of him in the late 1950's. He is to my mind among the greatest soul singers ever - as good as Johnnie Taylor, Wilson Pickett, Solomon Burke, et. al. He died in 2005, having had an outstanding recording career on a number of labels, with his greatest work having been produced on the Chess and Malaco labels.
The CD "Think of Me" is without a doubt the worst I have ever heard by Little Milton. The blame for this lies with Jon Tiven, who, having already proved, by producing awful CDs with Wilson Pickett and Solomon Burke, that he does not understand soul music, produces an equally bad CD for Milton on what was, sadly, his last before his death.
The producers of this CD clearly have NO concept of what made Little Milton so wonderful. They apparently decided that the kind of soul songs that were the basis for all of Milton's great work were unacceptable, and picked a bunch of songs that I'm sure they thought were fresh and new, and I'm also sure they thought they were innovative and edgy and would move Milton on to a new and hipper audience. The songs suck.
The other factors which made Little Milton so consistently outstanding were his big tough voice and the beautiful arrangements featuring punchy and intricate horns, stinging guitars...in short, all of the tight professional work that appeared on Chess and Malaco. The voice is missing on this CD, maybe due partially to his advancing age, but surely in part due to the garbage he was given to sing. The arrangements are a joke. They are sloppy, and more than uninteresting, they demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of Little Milton and his work, and the producer of the CD's attempt to make something "hip" and different at this stage of Little Milton's career, shows a total disrespect for the monster career this man actually had and why it was a monster career.
I rate this a 1 only because negative numbers are not available.
