Eddie C. Campbell brings his unmistakably individual, engaging and memorable verve and variety and his command of the Chicago blues tradition to Tear This World Up, his most fully realized chapter in a highly regarded discography which has generated covers by Lynyrd Skynyrd and Lee Atwater and a Christmas staple. Eddie has long been a master of classic Chicago blues, but always his own man, turning out venues worldwide with funk and rock & roll as well as blues, all with his rich, wide-ranging vocals, the trademark reverb-drenched sound of his vintage metallic purple Fender Jazzmaster guitar and creative songwriting.
All About Jazz:
A native of Duncan, Mississippi, guitarist/vocalist Eddie C. Campbell is one of the last of the originators of the West Side sound of Chicago blues still performing in their prime. Campbell began his recording career with a handful of singles in the sixties, but the record that put him on the blues map was King of the Jungle (Mr. Blues, 1977). Tear This World Up is Campbell's debut for Delmark Records and a sizzling set of funky blues served up Chicago-style.

The guitarist pays tribute to his friend, and fellow West Side innovator, the late Magic Sam on Sam's "Easy Baby" and "Love Me With a Feeling." Here Campbell digs in deep to capture the emotional qualities of Sam's signature guitar and vocal styling. Campbell also pays homage to another giant of Chicago blues past, Howlin' Wolf, on Wolf....... more
Info dystrybutora:
Jeden z bardziej niedocenianych bluesmanów chicagowskiej sceny. Naładowany emocjami głos Campbella, cenione teksty i mistrzowski kunszt gry na gitarze przysporzył mu całkiem okazałe grono fanów w USA. Jednak poza stanami pozostaje wciąż mało znany.
Eddie C. Campbell to ostatni, żyjący z wielkich reprezentantów gitarowego "West Side", którego najsłynniejszymi przedstawicielami byli Magic Sam i Luther Allison.
Ma za sobą współpracę z czołowymi muzykami gatunku - Howlin' Wolf, Jimmy Reed, Little Walter, w latach 70. był członkiem Willie Dixon's Chicago Blues All-Stars band.
