about

SF Examiner, Feb 2000
“…Campilongo plunges headlong into his most satisfying, and yes, heaviest, album yet…. the hard-working picker, who has made a home of the club-within-a-club upstairs at the Paradise, has made another album of dazzling Western swing-meets-jazz-meets blues-meets-country, which has become his patented trademark… Campilongo stretched a bit on this one, and came up with a winner…”

SF Weekly, Feb 2000
“…Somewhere between modern blues of the late Danny Gatton, the out-there jazz of John McLaughlin, and the western swing jangle and twang of Jimmy Bryant, Campilongo's guitar work is precise and studied, but always stoked with something intangible and deeper…it's Campilongo's most inventive and complex album, as well as his most playful…”

Guitar Player Magazine, June 2000
“… One of San Francisco's best-kept secrets, Telecaster-wielding Jim Campilongo possesses a wacky sense of humor, lunatic technique, and a fat, snarling tone…Imagine Jimmy Bryant's hair-trigger reflexes hitched to Roy Buchanan's restless spirit. Better yet, pick up Heavy and dig just how much sound one guy can coax out of six strings and an amp…”

San Francisco Bay Guardian, March 2000
“…guitarist Jim Campilongo shows off his songwriting chops in addition to his jaw-dropping technical ability on his latest album…Campilongo tempers the humor by mixing in a number of less whimsical tunes, wringing out some of his heaviest, most emotive playing…”

about

Jim Campilongo Brooklyn, New York

THE NEW YORK TIMES
"Through the lean ropy sound of his Fender Telecaster, Mr. Campilongo connects American styles (Blues, Rock, Country, Jazz, R&B) in a sly knowing way."

THE NEW YORKER
"Jim Campilongo holds court. American music is a melting pot of influences, but few guitarists capture the nuances as well as Campilongo does." ... more

My Favorite Fugazi record. Probably not the album to start with, but the most emotionally charged album they made. Every track is super profound and they all have a certain pensive and melancholic feel a lot of fugazi LPs don't. I imagine it's the logical next step after the intensity and anger of the early releases. bamocomics
