Cover EX.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlide guitarist and songwriter John Campbell was a man driven. Before his untimely death, he had pulled out all the stops to play a music that was full of mystery, pathos, dark energy, and plenty of rock \u0026amp; roll strut 'n' growl; it could be frightening in its intensity. Howlin' Mercy was the last of two recordings for Elektra, and is by far the heavier of the two. As displayed by its opening track, \"Ain't Afraid of Midnight,\" Campbell was a considerable slide guitarist who owed his skill to the bluesmen like Lightnin' Hopkins (from his home state of Texas), Fred McDowell, and a few others. His solos are wrangling, loose, and shambolic; they are undeniably dark and heavy. \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_Campbell_(blues_guitarist)\"\u003ehttp:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_Campbell_(blues_guitarist)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracklist.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01 Ain't Afraid of Midnight  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e02 When the Levee Breaks  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e03 Down in the Hole  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e04 Look What Love Can Do  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e05 Saddle Up My Pony  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e06 Firin' Line  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e07 Love's Name  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e08 Written in Stone  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e09 Wiseblood  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 Wolf Among the Lambs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elektra","offers":[{"title":"1993","offer_id":174912752,"sku":"075596144018","price":374.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/2072\/products\/1309883347_654.jpg?v=1571438616","url":"https:\/\/recordpusher.live\/products\/campbell-john-howlin-mercy","provider":"RecordPusher - International Vinyl Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
