Tear This World Up (Delmark Records)
Like his good friend Magic Sam, Eddie C Campbell made his mark with what became known at the “West Side Sound”. On “Tear This World Up” Campbell pays tribute to Sam on couple songs, and mostly “tears it up” as one would hope from one of the few remaining links to the heyday of Chicago blues. -Jon Norton
