Eddie C.Campbell - Spider Eating Preacher (Delmark)
In a blues world too oftencharacterised by its innate predictability, there are few artists as assuredlyindividual as Eddie C. Campbell. Over half a century since his performing debutand three years on from his first release for the legendary Delmark label theunique laconic grooves that comprise his self-styled ‘West Coast Funk’ arealive and well on ‘Spider Eatin Preacher’. Trading reverb-drenched licks withguest guitar legend Lurrie Bell, Campbell has lost none of his talent formesmerising with both his instrument and voice; and, ably supported by a fullcast of players that provide both a steady rhythm and more than a few engagingdiversions, has turned in a set of fifteen songs that cuts no slack, and iscompelling from start to finish. ‘Call My Mama’ and Jimmie Lee Robinson’shaunting ‘All My Life’ somehow manage to stand out from an otherwise whollysubstantial collection.www.delmark.comNeil B.
