If I like Jim Campilongo, I'd like....

[PedalFreak]

I'm on a Campilongo trip right now. Anyone suggest some other music to get like Jim? I've got the Danny Gatton, Roy Buchanan, Redd Volkaert, and some others like that.

But if you can think of anyone else to get please let me know I'm doing an order with Amazon for a bunch of music and would like to get some new stuff also.

Tom Principato ?

 

[Carltone]

Helecasters!!!! 3 cds worth of tele twang goodness...

The one and only, Bill Kirchen. A monster player along the lines of JC.

 

[sanhozay]

Duke Levine

Pete Anderson

Steve Trovato

Greg V

Jim's pretty unique and not many do his thing but the above players are equally melodic & burning. There's a lot of talent out there!

 

[Mark McPheeters]

Duke Levine
Greg Koch
James Burton
Arlen Roth
Bill Hullett

Tough call here, try to find Jimmie Rivers and the CHerokees, Brisbane Bop JR is a monster player 1961 - 1964 noted on the CD as the time period, JC ate this guys lines up. Also has the song A Smooth One on it.
It also has Vance Terry on it playing lap steel. A very humbling CD, its live and I would say its a huge influence on JC's playing. I am a huge JC fan.

Some Bill Frisell stuff should interest you. Let me know what you think of Jimmie Rivers.

Good Luck

Go to the source! I've read that Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West were big influences on Jim.

I love Bill Frisell. I've got most all of his albums I'll check out Jimmie Rivers

Raymond Chandler ... not a guitarist, but Jim's music always remindes me of a Raymond Chandler novel.

This was my thought. Along with Jerry Donahue's solo stuff.

 

[Jerrod]

West and Bryant - Stratosphere Boogie is a must have. Also check out Jim's site for his influences.

Junior Brown!

 

[telesquire]

Rick Holmstrom.

 

[daddyo]

Redd Volkaert

 

[mondaythursday]

I reckon you just might like Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot, and Phil DeGruy.

Jim Campilongo has a creepy exotic side to his playing that I don't really hear in the playing of the cats mentioned in this thread so far except for maybe Marc Ribot and Bill Frisell.

That is the only two that stand out to me as well. Plus Duke Levine.
