Reviw: by George Fish

This writer, an active writer on the blues since 1987, has known Mike Milligan personally since he began his active musical career in the1990s, when I'd hear him at the Slippery Noodle. Now, whenever I've heard him play his guitar these last few years, my mind harkens back those days in the Noodle when I first listened to his playing. Now, onstage, "The best damn blues band ever" as named by Indianapolis's renowned blues bar, the Slippery Noodle Inn, stood Mike with his band, Steam Shovel, the whole of Mike Milligan and Steam Shovel consisting of only three people, Mike himself on guitar and vocals, brother Shaun Milligan on bass, and Robert "Tiny" Cook on drums. Mike Milligan and Steam Shovel have this remarkably full sound for a trio, filling the audio space fully and completely, and never leaving the listener with a feeling that there's something lacking.

Mike, a large man physically whose appearance comes across as resembling that of a cuddly teddy bear in human form, is a most likeable, accessible person deeply affirmative of life, and his songs demonstrate that.
