scalpy Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 You know how some music quietly slips off your radar even though it cuts you to the quick? My dad introduced me to Janis Joplin's music in the late 90s and Kosmic Blues just blew my mind. Aside from having one of the finest guitar solos ever committed to tape, courtesy of Mike Bloomfield, the way Janis caresses one verse and tears apart the chorus and the band have innate sense of light and shade just drew me in every time, with another layer to appreciate on each rewind of the cassette. Other fads have and come and gone and since being a member here I've tried to catch up on a lot great musicians I've missed, then it struck me, no-one's mentioned Brad Campbell! This guy is fantastic! He's straight of the 60s mould, P-bass, syncopated soul a la Dunn and Hood and (holding) company, but he's unbelievably good at it. There's precious little about him anywhere on the net, but somebody here must be a fan as well. Naturally a clip is in order. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gsqBEPSrd0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scalpy Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 My pleasure. Had almost given up hope! Ilove the way he puts as much into the bass playing in the clip as she does the singing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
