Audience recording of great quality here
Guitarist, singer, and songwriter John Campbell had the potential of turning
a whole new generation of people onto the blues
in the 1990s, much the same way Stevie Ray Vaughan did in the '80s.
His vocals were so powerful and his guitar playing so
fiery, you couldn't help but stop what you were doing and pay attention
to what you were hearing. But unfortunately, because
of frail health and a rough European tour, he suffered a heart attack in his sleep
on June 13, 1993, at the age of 41.
His cover of When the levee breaks is just as haunting as Zep's version !

John Campbell was as powerful a performer as I have ever seen. He opened for Buddy Guy and you can believe Buddy was left with a challenge following him as an opener. Campbell didn't mess around with effect pedals or having an expensive amp. He just needed a battered old Gibson acoustic with a pickup, his soul, and his fingers. Thanks for finding this.
