Rooted in a blend of classic country, jazz and whatever else he invents, Jim and his Telecaster ride way past the cowboy sunset and into their own musical genre. The emotional, soulful and often tender guitar of Campilongo surrounds intoxicating compositions that twist and turn through a myriad of styles. His tone is clean then gritty, jazzy then twangy. In 'How's It Goin'? Not Much' he and Joe Goldmark's slinky pedal steel shift between tempos in a swinging musical dialogue that is simply amazing. The arrangements and playing of Jim and the 10 Gallon Cats are beyond compare. This is an outstanding record from one of the finest guitar players on the planet. Intelligent, intense and fun, Heavy weaves a unique tapestry of melody that will captivate any music aficionado. Call it what you will, Country - Americana - Jazz - Rock or Blues, it's Heavy.
