From his earliest recordings on Sam Phillips’ legendary Sun Records in the 1950s, “Little Milton” Campbell was an innovator. When other blues artists of his generation were content to churn out formulaic 12-bar blues tracks during the post-World War II heyday of urban blues, he took the music to a new place by injecting elements of gospel, soul, R&B and even

and coming up with fresh sounds. He made his debut on the Telarc label with the 2005 release of Think of Me, a dozen tracks that distill a lifetime of rich guitar skills, compelling vocals and deft songwriting into a single, high-powered package.

Sadly, Campbell passed away shortly after the album’s release. He suffered a massive stroke on July 27, and died eight days later on August 4, 2005.
