Eddie C. Campbell: “Big World”
Eddie C. Campbell’s history includes stints with such luminaries as Little Walter, Howlin’ Wolf, and Jimmy Reed; in the 1970s, he worked with both Koko Taylor and Willie Dixon. His big career break, though, was his 1977 album, King Of the Jungle on the Mr. Blues label (later reissued on Rooster Blues), which garnered him international recognition. Subsequent recordings have shown his antic lyric surrealism and shuffle-and-grease soulfulness to be undiminished – this track, from his 2009 Delmark debut, Tear This World Up, is a classic Campbell meld of irrepressible wit, deep blues feeling, and impeccable musicianship.
