Hear hear. A huge talent. If you can catch him live, you'll be richly rewarded.

Jim Campilongo has shot to the top of my list in the last 12 months. What an amazing player. Listening to him really gave me an idea of the difference between guitarist and musician.
He took all the typical "Tele tricks": behind the nut bends, volume/tone swells, etc. that I normally considered novelties and really works them into the music. That guitar sings better than Norah does.
The Little Willies album has been the most musically influential album I've bought since Rubber Soul. It's the reason I own a Tele. Since then I've picked up some Ten Gallon Cats and JC Electric Trio albums, and they all get played more than anything else I have.
If you can, check out the demo he does on Youtube of the new Fender Princeton Reverb RI. I bet you can't guess what kind of amp I'm saving up for...

He's great. Every monday night in Manhattan is a double trouble: Les Paul at Iridum Cafe and Jim down to the Living Room.

João - I'm listening to Guitar Bizarre vol. 2 as I post this little missive ...
You and Jim are very simpatico in playing styles and sound ...
But listening to you and Jim, back to back ... I have to give you the edge ... You have better tone and finesse ...
Kudos Irmão!

You are so kind... Jim is an inspiration. Marc Ribot too... A lot of guys (old timers and new cats). My CD (The L.A. Sessions will be ready in two weeks. I'm planning a release. I'll let you know)
btw, you should check Yamomanem sometime... The trio is really fun and Henning (the clarinet guy) is amazing.
Thanks, bro! :)
