This CD is a rare and historic live-in-the-studio recording of a blues legend. John Campbell recorded these magical performances as demo, years before his Electra contract and untimely death. On these recordings you will hear one man with a presumably a 1930's era National Resophonic, a then pristine 1952 Gibson Southern Jumbo, and all his heart and soul, whisking you away on a mystical journey. No electronic tracks were used to alter John's renditions of these blues classics that were woven with the charm and heartfelt passion of a man who lived his craft. You'll hear the incredible syncopation of his hands, his ethereal voice, and the beat of his foot keeping time. Robin Hood Studios captured Campbell's complete essence; metal on wood slide guitar rattles and the very breath and snarls of a brilliant apprentice to the blues. They were also able to chronicle a musician steeped in deep country blues, whose performances during this session were not destined to be heard until now.
