MW3-COM
"Dream Dictionary is a masterpiece of 21st century guitar-noir" DOWNBEAT "Campilongo is an artist freely following the pull of the muse, whether it takes him to dark, haunting corners or inspires him to reel off a light, smile-inducing jaunt" PREMIERE GUITAR "Campilongo plays like he's engaging in a long, very personal conversation: It ranges from heated to relaxed, angst-ridden, and even a little flirty but its always fluent, spontaneous and full of nuance, texture, and emotional truth." |

Heavy
Jim Campilongo & the 10 Gallon Cats 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." —SF Weekly |
