AllMusic Review by Thom Owens  [Link -]

Feelin' Good was the first album Jessie Mae Hemphill released in the United States and it differs from its predecessor She-Wolf in that it captures her at her rawest. Half of the record features her supported only by a rhythm guitar and drums, while the other half has Hemphill wailing away at her guitar and percussion simultaneously. The result is a hypnotic, mesmerizing record that successfully updates Delta blues, making the covers sound as fresh as the originals.
