Say what you will! This one gets knocked regularly because Mike wasn't the equivalent of Howlin' Wolf on the vocals - he sounded like Mike, a really beat voice: a bit blase, bemused and confidential, like an old buddy singing to you over the...  (Read full review at Amazon)

After reading a couple of dismal reviews for this CD, I just had to put in my two cents. Don't buy this album if you're looking for examples of Bloomfield's smoking electric blues. But don't judge it on that basis, either. If your mind is closed...  (Read full review at Amazon)

I hate to use a bad pun in the title of the review, but really, this is a CLUNKER! Michael Bloomfield, great blues guitarist? Not on this album. Here the focus is on singing, never the guy's strong suit. Well here he really stretches his...  (Read full review at Amazon)

It's Not Killing Me Full Description
It's Not Killing Me Originally released in 1969, this release followed the two ground breaking albums Mike recorded with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and the Electric Flag. Michael Bloomfield was one of America's first great white blues guitarists, earning his reputation on the strength of his work in the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. His expressive, fluid solo lines and prodigious technique graced many other projects (most notably Bob Dylan's earliest electric forays) and he also pursued a solo career, with variable results. Uncomfortable with the reverential treatment afforded a guitar hero, Bloomfield tended to shy away from the spotlight after spending just a few years in it; he maintained a lower-visibility career during the '70s due to his distaste for fame and his worsening drug problems, which claimed his life in 1981. Tracks from 'It's Not Killing Me' have been included on compilations and anthologies but the represents the CD debut for the album in it's original form. Acadia. 2006.
