Details:
This is Bruce T. Campbell's second CD of original songs (The first is TIME FOR A CHANGE, also available from CD Baby.). Again he is "Just a guy & a guitar," eleven acoustic tracks with his Martins, and one with his Stratocaster. Two of the songs are blues numbers, and the rest are contemporary folk-type tunes, with an element of intelligent wit and an acknowledgement of the wholeness of the Universe.

Bruce, a diabetic and now legally blind, is a refugee from the corporate wars, and lives in Tucson, Arizona.

He considers himself more of a poet than a guitarist, although he has played guitar for forty years now, and he's developed his own unique percussive style of playing.

Here is a review by Jeff W. Larrabee of Pickin-n-grinnin.com:

Zen Dreams is the second release from singer/songwriter/guitarist Bruce T. Campbell. The disc features some incredible examples of some great folk style music. The feel of the CD reminds me of early Bruce Cockburn mixed with Woody Guthrie and maybe a little of the grittier early Warren Zevon stuff.

The CD is pure music. As Bruce says "Just a guy and a guitar." His down home approach to writing is both witty and refreshing. There are some real gems here. Some of the tracks that come to mind while writing this review are Her Karma, and Addiction. The one electric tune on the album Half-Moon Blues is a great little tune.

So if you need a break from the over processed sounds of majority of music today this might just well be the break you need. Zen Dreams is pure Americana, and may lead you to some other forms of music that may be habit forming. And while not big on production, the disc is still a lot of fun.
