John Campbell, Louisiana Blues

This is so great to see. Thanks so much for posting. I used to see him play in NYC as often as possible in the late '80's. One night on his birthday he just brought the house down. It was a real magical moment an evening I'll never forget. And then he told the story of how he got his dobro and who it originally belong to.

I'm not that surprised he died of a heart attack - look at the tension in him as he plays. It's interesting - some musicians seem to be one with the music. The music and the musician are on equal footing. But Campbell plays like he has the music by its throat. I don't know if that is good or bad but it's impressive either way.

dang hes fast

100% agree

Here's the entire defenition of the word blues!

Absolutely NOT. He's good for sure though.

yea, what's with these people?

Thanks for sharing great blues!

great cover

There is a certain determined drive underlying his playing that I personally find magnetic and exciting to follow.
