What a great guy, and great music! I discoverded him around the time he put out "One Believer." I loved the album and got to see and meet him at the Cabooze in Minneapolis. He was a very nice guy. I was shocked to read an article a few months later saying he had just died.
Its that grit of life. That grit of life is just all over the music. If you don't know what its like to experience life from the complete bottom like john campbell did, than you can't really understand the emotion and the power of the music. You can definitely feel it, any one who listens can feel it, but only those who know what its like to be down and out and broke and just confused, those are the ones who really knows what his talking about in this song.
@CavenEdwards Thats why the best musicians are those who create their music from a state of despair and agony. People like John Lennon, Robert Johnson, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Marvin Gaye. All the people I just mentioned had some sort of pain or psychological issue they were dealing with and they just poured their heart and souls out through the music. They felt what they were singing and playing. Thats why people like John Campbell are so amazing. Its like Brilliantly fueled insanity.
Saw this guy live in 1986 at the Abilene Cafe in NYC. Was completely stricken after his beguiling performance. he opened for Charlie Musselwhite and Al Lewis of the Munsters was there..what a show!
my name is jon campbell lol all i did was type in my name lol no i aint this guy my middle name is dean but im from scottland campbell is a scottish name :)
el habla de su pesar...!! y del BLUES!!! su blues y el del mundo!!! no veia el blues como una fuente de dinero ni reconocimiento sino como una forma hermosa de transmitir!
Харизма и дьявольски сильное и откровенное исполнение блюза - вот та память,которая навсегда сохранится в моём сердце об этом удивительном музыканте!

it is such a shame that this man never received the recognition for his work beyond the mississippi delta region. his few cd's are like gold to me.
