Good, but not the best, Eddie C., but dont forget Hip!

"This is a strange CD because it is really a compilation of two artists, but it is not listed as such. The second half of the CD is by Hip Linchain, who, like Eddie C. Campbell, was a great West Side (of Chicago) blues guitarist in his own right.The Eddie C. Campbell material is good, but not Eddie's best. The band doesn't really click here -- they don't back up Eddie as well as they should, and the overall sound suffers. Nevertheless, Eddie's reverb-drenched guitar cuts through pretty well, and true fans will want this CD to complete their collection.The Hip Linkchain cuts are pretty good, also. He had a great, soulful, albeit rough voice, and his guitar work was excellent. If you've never heard him before, this might not be a bad place to start."
