ALBUM REVIEW
Originally released in 1971, The Jimmy Campbell Album was the third and final album by one of Liverpool s finest musicians, Jimmy Campbell. Featuring music of both beauty and melancholia, such as the excellent By the Light of a Lamp and Salvation Army Citadel this newly re-mastered release is the first appearance of the album on CD. As with the music of Bill Fay (another songwriter whose work enjoyed a re-evaluation in recent times), Campbell's work is ripe for rediscovery. Recently hailed by Mojo magazine as a buried treasure , this re-mastered CD release is long overdue as tribute to the work of Jimmy Campbell who sadly passed away in 2007.
