If You Don't Slow Down - Eddie C Campbell


Eddie C. Campbell (born May 6, 1939, Duncan, Mississippi, is an American blues guitarist and singer, active in the Chicago blues scene.
Campbell moved to Chicago, Illinois, when he was ten years old, and by age 12 had already jammed with Muddy Waters, and learned first hand from Waters, Magic Sam and Otis Rush. In his early years as a professional musician, Campbell played as a sideman with Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Little Johnny Taylor, and Jimmy Reed. In 1976, Willie Dixon hired him to play in the Chicago Blues All-Stars.Campbell's debut album, King of the Jungle was released the following year, with accompaniment from Carey Bell (harmonica) and Lafayette Leake (piano). His later recordings were enhanced by a discipline not always evident in his life.

In 1984, Campbell left Chicago for Europe, settling initially in the Netherlands. He worked there for a decade before returning to Chicago in the 1990s.

Campbell's latest album is Spider Eating Preacher (Delmark, 2012).
