"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."


DREAM DICTIONARY CD
Dream Dictionary Digital
pVINTAGE GUITAR MAGAZINE
"On Dream Dictionary, his patented Telecaster tones take on a greater dimension as he conjures a world of stark harmonics, crushing twang, edgy note selection, and sly humor..."

GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE
"...rich harmonic textures come across like Cirque du Soleil playing the Grand Ole Opry with some heady downtown jazz landscapes tossed into the mix"

TONEQUEST
"...savor the afterglow that Jim Campilongo music casts, lingering long after the last note has faded no one is walking in Campilongo's footsteps, nor is he treading in the long shadows of the past"

Jim Campilongo

​2000
"…Campilongo subtly conveys raw emotion and intensity in his guitar compositions, such as the darkly haunting "Do You Really Wanna Know?"  Campilongo further proves his ability as a composer with the sweet, reserved genius of "Lipton Tea" and the plaintive country ballad "Molly Harvey…” ”…this record stands as an original, definitive Campilongo effort…”

"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."
