TIMEOUT NEW YORK--"...New York has no shortage of guitar heroes but few cover as many bases as Jim Campilongo..." "...reveals a range that extends from seductive country-swing to atmospheric jazz and well beyond..."

THE NEW YORK TIMES--"...through the lean ropy sound of his Fender Telecaster, Mr. Campilongo connects American styles (Blues, Rock, Country, Jazz, R&B) in a sly knowing way..."

NY POST--"... Campilongo is one of those New York secrets. A master of the electric guitar, he weaves in spaghetti western picks, blues chords and jazz refs into his haunting tunes, a combo of originals and covers..."

JAZZTIMES--"... you've got the makings of a very twisted guitar hero who deserves worshipping. Clever, crafty, quirky and cool."
