Blues music has been considered as the most complicated branch of music in the world. No wonder, from this music, some maestros have been released. We might ever hear the famous blues guitarist John Campbell. He was one of not many blues guitarists that have the awesome performance. Campbell was born in Louisiana, in Shreveport to be exact. Born in January 20th 1952, Campbell died in June 13th 1993. He was well known with the awesome blues technique. He was the one that was considered as a blues guitarist that could bring the blues into the better level. In the past, before blues reached the glorious position as today’s position, it was only considered as a kind of street music. Thanks to John Campbell that had given all possible efforts to bring blues higher and higher.
As the blues guitarist John Campbell has managed to give his own creations and leveled up the blues to the same level with other kinds of music. He managed to mix the rhythms, bravura slide guitar and the riffs of staccato in a very awesome harmony. He got three most favorite instruments of his life. The first instrument is a Southern Jumbo Acoustic guitar from Gibson. This guitar was made in 1952. The two other instruments were the 1934 National Steel and the resophonic guitar from National, made in 1940s. As a boy who grew up in Texas, little Campbell was quite so familiar with countries and blues. On 1973, he decided to make a band. This is a trio band called as Junction. Not long from it was formed, the band broke 2 years after.
That was exactly the time when Campbell managed to release his first album. Street Suite was the title of this album. After played in clubs in Texas, the blues guitarist john Campbell decided to move to the bigger city. New York was the destination; a place that he thought could be the place to make his dreams come true. Campbell managed to join into a local blues screen. Fortunately, this is the beginning of his successful era as the blues guitarist. His second album was finally released three years after his arrival in New York and it was titled as A Man and His Blues. He wasn’t alone at that album since he took Ronnie Earl as guest guitarist. Unfortunately, fame doesn’t seem to be something fit on his life. Not long after, just in the moment when the popularity seemed about to come to him rapidly, his heart failed to keep him alive. John Campbell died in his sleep, at the age of 41.
