Eddie C. Campbell, continued:
Eddie C. finally returned to the studio (with famed producer Dick Shurman) with his killer Delmark debut, Tear
This World Up, in 2009. The King of West Side Funk Blues is still in his prime, mesmerizing audiences with his deep blues grooves and distinctive reverb soaked guitar on his trademark purple Fender Jazzmaster, along with his witty original songwriting and powerful stage charisma.
– Bio. by Bill Dahl.
Peter Case, continued:
In 1989, Case released a second solo disc, The Man With the
Blue Post-Modern Fragmented Neo-Traditionalist Guitar, this time with the help of artists like David Hidalgo of Los Lobos, Ry Cooder, and Benmont Tench. While not a major commercial success, the album was a favorite of critics and other musicians:
Bruce Springsteen told Rolling Stone magazine he was listening to Peter Case more than anyone else that year.
Case continued to release discs as a solo performer, moving in an increasingly acoustic-oriented direction, and playing clubs and small venues. Case's solo performances have featured his own compositions as well as covers of songs by Memphis Minnie, Sleepy John Estes, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and others. In February 2006, Hungry for Music, a non-profit organization based in Washington, DC, released a three-disc tribute to Case, entitled A Case for Case; the set featured cover versions of Case’s songs performed by various artists, including John Prine, Susan Cowsill, and others.
