John Campbell 2 Meter Sessions (CD)

(New Shot Records) 9 tracks

A new album by John Campbell, 27 years after his last and 33 years after his far-too-early death in 1993. The highly sought-after “2 Meter Sessions” by this influential American blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter—known for his unmistakable rhythm and slide-heavy style—are finally seeing the light of day. John Campbell was a genius, an innovator, a unique blues sensation. He plays vintage Gibson and National guitars, and beyond that, he plays like no one else, and no one can play like him. Powerful vocals and fiery guitar playing; John Campbell had the potential to inspire a whole new generation to love the blues in the ’90s, much like Stevie Ray Vaughan did in the ’80s. All of this can be heard in spectacular sound on this release, “2 Meter Sessions.” A monster album that you will enjoy and cherish for a long, long time.
